The first line here is very specific to the story of the film, as Shahrukh Khan's character, Veer, doesn't tell about his high connections even when he gets arrested, because he doesn't want Zaara and her family's name to be revealed]. The judge releases Veer from prison and apologises on behalf of Pakistan.

Veer a.k.a Shah Rukh Khan (Main character) and zaara hayaat Khan (main character) who are in the court.
