Present Day

Natasha's POV:
(Varun's Apartment)

After that day, I got to know one thing. Varun was the biggest player alive. The time when he shouted at me because I opened the door. I was expecting him to say something like, no it's not what it seems like. But instead he said, "Hopefully you enjoyed the show, next time knock on the door and maybe we'll let you join in. But if I ever find out that you opened your mouth, I will not hesitate even for a second before ruining you".

From that day onwards, I never mingled with him and he seemed to maintain his distance from me. The tension and awkwardness that formed between us that day, it felt like it was all clichè, but whatever it was, it was real.

It was that day and today. It seems like a lot of things have changed, be it Varun's behavior, my behavior or my feelings. Everything seems to be way different than what it was before. It's kind of scary to be honest. I shouldn't be having these feelings as I fully know that Varun is a Playboy and he doesn't do love.

Another thing I have noticed is that, him and Shraddha seem to be closer than they were before. I mean they were always the best of friends, but when I saw them in the morning today, I saw something else, something that screamed sparks.

It was something way more than just your normal friendship. The way they look at each other, is so deep and endearing that even I felt the heat of their moment.

Even after all of this, I can't help but feel my heart flutter. 'Varun and Shraddha might have something from the past but that doesn't mean it has to continue on in the future right?'

'They are probably just friends, Natasha. Stop overthinking. There's no harm in having a little liking towards someone. You want Varun and you will try your best to win him. No matter what.'

Whatever they have is clearly not working out, as they just had a huge fight in the morning. I know I shouldn't be saying this, but this could be my opportunity to get what I desire, to get Varun.

Shraddha's POV:
(Shraddha's Apartment)

"I am not going to mingle in this matter anymore. If he wants to go out on actual dates and get caught, that's his fault.

I tried everything in my power to get his situation sorted yet he wants to mess up everything. Only extremely dumb people have that talent, Shyloh." I said talking animatedly to my dog, who is a Lhasa Apso.

"The talent of stepping in and out of problems, like a game of hopscotch."

Shyloh, looked and blinked at me like he understands. He came up to me, lifted both his front paws and put them on my shoulder, in a gesture of patting them.

Sometimes I think he actually understands me. He seems like a wise old soul to me, his eyes scream love and affection and that's why I love him more than anything in this world.

...

I never knew this would blow up, it happened in a short span of an hour. Never in my wildest dream would I have ever thought, that a trailer would go viral.

Aashiqui 2's official trailer was released an hour ago. Everybody in the movie crew obviously wished for the public to like it, but touching heights like this was not expected.

The trailer reached 5 million views in an hour and it has been doing multiple rounds of social media sites, while the news channels are probably covering it as a huge story, because it was the most viewed trailer till date.

As I was thinking that my phone rang, it was Aditya calling.

"I can't believe it" Adi screamed through the phone. "Shraddz do you understand how big this is? We just turned into the talk of the town in a matter of an hour. My phone is busting with calls from the media, film producers, directors, music directors etc. How did we even blow up like this?" He said with excitement clear in his voice.

This is the moment every actor/ artist waits for, blowing up like this, going viral and we just achieved that. Yes, we were known artists before but this moment has made us India's most wanted third generation actors.

After Congratulating Adi, once more I ended the call. I have waited for this moment, since the moment I debuted. Some people have this false assumption of bollywood. They think as soon as someone steps in and is casted in a movie, they have already touched the sky.

I being the stupid girl, believed the same thing. I mean why wouldn't I? I worked hard, went to acting academy and worked my ass off. Even during school I never had a minute to myself,  all I did was attend dance and drama classes. So you can't blame me for deciding to believe that I deserved something. Something to pay off my hardwork. I dreamt of flying, I built my dreams up brick by brick.

And they came crashing down, as soon as I stepped in.

Shraddha kapoor, the daughter of the famous veteran actor Shakti Kapoor. Niece of the actress padmini kolhapur and great niece of the legendary singers; Lata mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle. She has everything set up for her, on a silver platter. What else does she need to enter bollywood like a Queen?

The answer; everything.

I stand here after being in the industry for 3 years, with nothing but flop movies on my name. There is no other way to sugar-coat this fact. People say I am a senior now. I have experience, yes, but that doesn't mean my success ratio is a hundred percent. In fact, I am still in my struggling zone.

Struggle? I had to crawl on the ladder of struggle to get to where I am today. Trying to hang onto the last hopes of getting somewhere.

And today was that day. Where, I finally reached my destination.

Walking towards the big Ganesh ji murti in my hallway.

I, stood in front of the God. Knowing that he must be smiling down on me. I stood there with the biggest smile on my face and with the fattest tears in my eyes.

He has been with me throughout my entire journey. Making sure that I walk on the right pathway. Yes he made sure that I got my success after my hardwork. He made it really hard for me, but that doesn't mean that he left me alone to struggle. He helped me stand up in a thunderstorm of breakdowns and face the monster that came in the form of my failure.

"I finally reached." I said, smiling to the statue in front of me.

But soon the smile turned into a smirk.

"And now I am going to show them who the real Queen is." I said with my head held up high, while tears fell from my face non stop.
