-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Anushka's eyes widen after reading the article: "In a surprising twist, rumours swirl around a potential romance between producer and CEO of Kulkarni Entertainments, Virat Kulkarni, and rising dance sensation Anushka Rai. The duo is spotted together In London, enjoying a café outing, sparking speculation about their relationship status. Witnesses report seeing the pair sharing laughs and seemingly intimate moments, and they had an accident together as well. Adding fuel to the fire, Anushka's brother, Jeevan, seemingly confirms the relationship by posting stories on Instagram featuring the three of them in London. We even find the lovebirds entering Anushka's house hand in hand. With both their careers on the rise, this pairing could redefine celebrity dynamics, leaving fans eagerly awaiting official confirmation from the rumored couple."

"What the...?" she thinks, rushing into the living room to find Jeevan lounging on the sofa. "What the hell is this.?" Anushka points at her phone.

Before Jeevan can respond, Virat storms out of a nearby room. "What the hell is wrong with everyone? What just happened? Who the hell is spreading these rumours.?"

"I'm asking the same thing, sir." Anushka retorts with a sarcastic smile.

"Trust me, I have no idea about this." Virat insists.

"Guys, relax. Let's sit and talk." Jeevan says, settling deeper into the sofa.

Virat raises an eyebrow. "You knew this was going to happen, didn't you.?"

"Yes, the plan and execution are my doing, but I didn't expect it to spread like wildfire. I just gave them a hint about the café using unknown number but I don't know they will follow us." Jeevan admits, his nervous smile betraying him.

"You are my brother..." Anushka starts hitting Jeevan with pillows.

"Stop!" Jeevan cries out, finally earning her attention. "You're both angry at me for helping.?"

"Really? How?" Virat folds his arms, waiting for an explanation.

"First, Anushka, you've been on constant dance tours to escape your stepmother's evil plans to marry you off to some guy twice your age. This rumor will shut her up and help you rebuild your career as a choreographer in India." Jeevan turns to Virat. "And your pub scandal has left a bad image. This drama will change that."

"I don't need anyone's help to grow my career." Anushka protests.

"Then what about the guy , your step-mother is showing you? Will you marry him? Your dad won't argue with your stepmother, you know that, right?" Jeevan questions, glancing at Virat, who is already staring at him. "What?" Jeevan asks innocently.

"What's going on in your mind? Just bark it." Virat presses.

Jeevan takes a deep breath. "Fake dating."

"No!" both Virat and Anushka shout in unison.

"Guys, let's sit and discuss this." Jeevan suggests.

After a few minutes, the softly lit living room buzzes with tension. Virat slumps on the couch, fingers drumming on the armrest. Anushka sits across from him, confusion and irritation mixing on her face. Jeevan, always the strategist, paces back and forth, his enthusiasm barely contained.

"I still don't see why we need to do this." Virat says, frustration edging his tone. "The whole thing feels like a circus."

"Trust me, Virat." Jeevan replies, stopping to face him. "This is the best way to handle the situation. The fake dating idea benefits both of you. For Anushka, it eases the tension with her stepmother. For you, it helps clean up your image and shift the narrative away from that Pub scandal."

Anushka crosses her arms. "But why involve me in this charade? I didn't ask for any of this."

"That's exactly why this plan is perfect." Jeevan counters. "The media is already buzzing. If you two publicly 'date,' it provides a controlled environment for both your benefits. Plus, it will help people see you as a couple, shifting the focus away from your scandal."

Virat runs a hand through his hair, exasperated. "It's not just about the public's opinion; it's about our personal lives. This could get messy."

"I understand your concerns, but look at the bigger picture." Jeevan says, his eyes earnest. "Anushka needs to focus on her career and personal peace without her stepmother's interference. And Virat, your public image needs a makeover. This will offer some positive coverage for once."

Anushka looks at Virat, her expression softening. "What do you think? Is there any merit to this plan.?"

Virat sighs, rubbing his temples. "I still have reservations, but you make a fair point. Maybe we should at least consider it."

Jeevan's eyes sparkle with hope. "That's the spirit! Think of it as a temporary arrangement with clear benefits. I can manage everything to ensure it doesn't spiral out of control."

Anushka hesitates, glancing at Virat again. "Alright, let's say we agree to this. What's the next step.?"

"First, we set boundaries." Jeevan says.

Virat looks at Anushka, his voice softening. "If we're doing this, we need to be clear on what we're getting into and how we'll handle it."

Anushka nods. "Agreed. Let's talk more about specifics before making a final decision."

Jeevan grins, sensing victory. "Perfect! Let's work out the details then. We'll make this work, you'll see."

"You already have a plan in mind; don't hesitate to share." Virat folds his arms, curious.

As Jeevan continues to outline his plan, he explains, "First, I'll travel to Mumbai alone. Then you both will fly to Mumbai via Dubai. At the airport, there will be media, of course. After that, the fake dating starts. Let's see how it goes." Virat and Anushka exchange glances.

Virat claps his hands. "Wow, what a vision! What a plan! Fantastic planning," he says sarcastically.

Anushka sighs. "You look more like a broker than a lawyer."

"Done with your taunts? Now tell me yes or no." Jeevan presses.

Virat and Anushka look at each other and nod in agreement.

"Oh God, yes! Thank you!" Jeevan fist-bumps the air. "But this deal should be between the three of us-a top secret." Anushka's phone starts ringing, and she excuses herself to take the call.

"I know it's my dad's plan; you don't have that much brain." Virat smirks.

"Very smart, huh.? The airport clicking idea was his, but everything else is planned by me." Jeevan retorts.

"But why involve her. ?" Virat asks, glancing at Anushka, who is talking on her phone.

"Because she is trustworthy. Our secret will stay secret; no one can blackmail us with threats of exposure." Jeevan explains, noticing Anushka peeking out of the window.

"What's happening? Whose phone was that?" Jeevan asks.

"President of the apartments," Anushka replies. "She says there are a few media people standing outside."

"What?" Both Virat and Jeevan rush to the window, their shock evident as they spot few media personnel gathered outside the apartment.

"Looks like the show has already begun," Virat mutters, a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
