Don’t feel sorry for Salim
Meet Salim Khan, ambitious, good looking and ready to enter the matrimonial world with his beautiful fiancée, Shaheen. After much planning, Salim’s engagement party is approaching and as his parents make the final arrangements and finishing touches, no one knows that this perfect party will turn into the ultimate catastrophe.
As the guests congregate at the Khan’s residences, the atmosphere is one of happiness fused with jubilation. The lovely Shaheen and her family arrive, to be greeted warmly by the Khan’s. A welcoming speech is made in her honour and the blissful couple exchange rings. The families and guests are overcome with joy for this beatific couple, who are entering the honeymoon stage of their lives, together.
As the DJ, a friend of Salim’s, starts the celebrations with his popular beats, the young crowd is drawn to the dance floor. Salim and Shaheen follow suit and this is when disaster strikes. Salim falls over on the dance floor and hurts his ankle, his pain is very apparent and he cannot walk. As he lies motionless on the sofa, wanting to be seen by a doctor, his friends and relatives all “advise” him on the next best steps. Amidst much confusion and conflicting counsel, Salim grits his teeth through his pain and tries his best to humour his guests, as they tell one tale after another about similar experiences.
