How Does Bae Bring Mukul to Justice?
In the final episode of Call Me Bae, Bae and her crew are thrilled to see their hard work paying off as women across the country share their horrifying experiences involving Mukul Sawla, the so-called feminist icon. But Mukul, as expected, denies all allegations, even trying to twist them to fit his political agenda. However, Bae and Tammarrah are ready for his games. They manage to execute an intense office stakeout, sneakily gathering incriminating data from Satyajit’s computer.
With this newfound evidence, Bae exposes Mukul’s deceitful behavior. But that’s not all—Satyajit, the host of the hit show “Confessionals,” is gearing up for its 100th episode and wants it to be the biggest one yet. Struggling for ideas, his girlfriend and producer, Harleen, suggests a showdown between Mukul and Bae.
Meanwhile, Bae and her friends uncover a dark secret: Mukul and his accomplice, SS, have been misusing a free 5G SIM card scheme targeted at women. Mukul uses it for his dirty tricks, while SS leverages it for his sensational show. All this information comes from a mysterious whistleblower within Mukul’s company, code-named Centaurus.
When Harleen invites Bae to the show, she hesitates. But during her morning run, she realizes she owes it to the women supporting her nationwide to share their stories. Empowered by the sisterhood, she decides to confront Mukul on air.
The Ultimate Showdown: Bae vs. Mukul
Dressed in a bold red corset and a black suit, Bae is ready for the battle of a lifetime. As the live episode unfolds, Satyajit tries to protect Mukul, attacking Bae by bringing up her past as a shoplifter and cheater. But Bae stands firm. She admits her mistakes but quickly shifts the focus to Mukul, exposing him as a predator who hides behind the brand of feminism.
Using the evidence they obtained, Bae dismantles Mukul’s carefully crafted public image in mere minutes. SS, who initially pretends to distance himself from Mukul, quickly finds himself in hot water too. Harleen, fed up with SS’s unethical tactics, leaves him. Without Harleen by his side, SS loses everything, including his credibility.
As Mukul and SS face public humiliation, Bae reminds everyone of the importance of sisterhood over personal reputation. Bae’s mom finally comes around too, accepting her daughter again after months of disowning her.
Bae and Saira’s Problems Resolved
Bae and Saira may come from different worlds, but they share a common problem: both are lonely. Bae resorts to shoplifting, and Saira turns to gambling to cope. However, by the end of the show, they find solace in each other’s company. Their friendship helps them confront their issues, proving once again that sisterhood can save the day.
Bae’s mom also sees the light and starts treating Samar, Bae’s ex-husband, with the same disdain she initially reserved for her daughter. Celebrations ensue as Neel finally secures the prime-time spot, now that SS is out of the picture.
Will There Be a Call Me Bae Season 2?
The season finale leaves plenty of room for a potential second season. Neel asks Bae to join him as a special correspondent, and she agrees, launching her own show called “Call Me Bae.” Her first mission? Unmasking the mysterious Centaurus.
But there’s another twist! Agastya, who had followed Bae after her Madhulika story went viral, arrives at her doorstep in Mumbai. He returns the ring he took back when he found out she cheated. It seems Agastya may have forgiven her, recognizing her potential as an independent woman.
So, while we’re all rooting for Bae and Neel, Agastya’s return could complicate things. Will Bae change her mind? Only time will tell.
