Pranitha's POV

My dream. My life. My ambition.

The South Indian Film Industry.

I enter the shooting studio with my right foot, for good luck.

"Pranu, come." Sash beckons to me.

I quietly walk over to her and stand next to her. I see Atlee sir, who is the director for this movie. Atlee sir is talking to Vijay sir and Samantha mam.

"Pranitha." Vijay sir calls me. "Come."

"Sir." I say. I walk up to him, Samantha mam, and Atlee sir.

"Oh you are Pranitha." Atlee sir says.

"Yes sir." I reply, nodding.

"Nice. Ok, you never acted na(right)?" he asks.

"No sir."

"Ok. Ok. Its fine. I trust Vijay sir. Go get ready. We will start the shoot in half an hour." he says at last.

"Ok sir." I reply.

"Pranu come with me." Samantha mam says.

"Ok mam." I say.

"What did you just call me?" she asks, a bit surprised.

"Uh...um...mam?" I stutter.

"Pranu, call me akka(older sister)." she says.

"Ok ma-akka" I say.

"Good. You know, I just got married three years ago right." she says. I nod in response. "Don't make me so old by calling me mam ok." she says.

"Ok." I reply.

"Good. Come. I'll introduce you to my make-up artist Sadhana." she says.

"Ok." I reply again.

She leads me to a make-up room and opens the door.

"Sadhuuuuu!" she says as she goes to hug her make-up artist.

"Sam!" Sadhana replies.

They release each other from the hug, and Sadhana sees me.

"She..." Sadhana looks at Samantha akka.

"Pranitha. You know, I was telling you about her." akka replies.

"Oh yea!" Sadhana turns to me. "Hi Pranitha. Sam's told me so much about you. I'm Sadhana." she introduces, putting her hand out.

"Hi mam." I shake her hand.

"Ma-" Sadhana mam starts laughing. "Girl, I have a lot of life to see. Call me Sadhana or Sadhu.

"Ok Sadhana akka." I say.

"Akk- well that is better than mam." she says, chuckling.

I smile, feeling a bit out-of-place.

"You need a make-up artist." Sadhu akka says. I just stare at her.

"Priya." Sadhu akka calls.

A girl about my age comes up to me.

"This is Priya, my cousin." Sadhu akka introduces.

"Hi. I'm Pranitha. You can call me Pranu." I say, holding my hand out to Priya.

"Hi. Priya. As my cousin already said." she gives Sadhu akka a look which makes her chuckle and roll her eyes.

"Well, Priya, go get her ready." sadhu akka says.

"Ok. Akka. Calm down." Priya says. "Come on Pranu." she says to me.

I follow her to another room in the studio and she hands me a black shirt and black leggings.

"You need this for this scene that they planned on doing now." Priya says.

"Ok."

"Change and call me when your done. I'll do your make-up."

I nod and she leaves, closing the door behind her.

I wear the dress and call Priya back in. This time, she walks in with another woman who seems about 22.

"Pranu, this is Meera." she introduces.

"Hi. Pranitha. You can call me Pranu." I say for probably the millionth time today.

"Meera. I'm your hair stylist."

"Oh ok."

"Sit." Priya says. I sit in the chair as she said, and she gets to work on my make-up while Meera works with my hair.

It takes them twenty minutes.

"Done!" Priya says when they finish.

I open my eyes and look at myself in the mirror.

"Wow. Amazing!" I squeal like a little girl on Chistmas.

The other two laugh lightly at my excitement.

"Well, lets go. Atlee sir is waiting." Meera says.

I nod. Standing, I walk to the door. My hand on the doorknob, I take a deep breath in fear.
