45: The Shooting & Meeting
Rohan's POV
"Oh my fucking god" I said.
"What happened?" Lali asked worried.
"That's Priyankha"
"Who?"
"What the hell is she doing here? What the fucking hell is she doing here?" Aditi who just came there asked fuming in anger.
"What the matter guys" Lali asked.I saw Priyankha looking at us shocked.
"Come with me" I said pulling Lali to a side.
"That's Priyankha" I said.
"You know her?" "She was my ex-girlfriend I told you all about her, how can you still cast her?"
"I am sorry I am not good with words but she is a really good actress"
"Please tell me she is not going to be here for long" Aditi said.
"Come on you guys were dating then you break up is it that bad?"
"Of course it's bad he loved her he was going to ask her to marry her but she stomped on his heart and ran away"
"Thanks Aditi for making me sound like a buffoon"
"Oh come on don't be so hard on yourself, come with me" Lali said and took my hand and went to Priyankha.
"Please don't tell me I am fired" Priyankha said.
"Okay listen I know both of you have issues but come on both of you are professional actors I think you guys can figure out a way to be around each other"
"Seriously you are giving us a pep talk?" I asked.
"Oh right I don't have to do that anymore so get your shit together and don't ruin my work....better?" Lali asked with a smile.
"Lali......." I said.
"Priyankha you have any problem working with him?"
"Nope"
"Great, Rohan I know you have issues with her but we can work it out together okay"
"But Lali..."
"Rohan this is my biggest dream.....and I don't wanna do it without you" She said holding my hand.
"Okay" I said and she smiled.

I and Aditi were on a costume trial and was watching an old Video of Sid and Meena.
"These two are so dam cute yaar" Aditi said.
"Yaa yar"
"Hey who is this guy" One of the assistant directors asked.
"He is our friend Sid" I answered."Is he into acting by any chance?"
"I..........don't think so" Aditi answered.
"Well, I am looking for an actor exactly like him so by any chance can I get his contact information?" She asked.
Both of us looked at each other confused.

"So let me get this straight you love this girl since childhood she really likes you too but you can't be in a relationship with her?" Lali asked confused.
"Well technically I can we made out a few times and I also slept with her once but she don't want to get into a serious relationship and I don't wanna get into a relationship with her if it's not going to be serious" Samart said.
"This story sounds made up" I said.
"No she is real see, this is our recent picture" he said showing us his phone.
"Wow she is cute" I said and Lali gave back the phone.
"See you are scared that if you go forward with this girl and if it doesn't end up working out it may break your heart, but even having a chance with her and not doing about it will also break your heart eventually, so I would say take the risk even if your heart breaks you won't be left with any regrets"
"That really helps thanks" Samart said as he left.
"I am telling you this love story is too complicated, it's not going to work" I said."So is the love story of Lakshmi and Raj"
"But let me tell you a secret, it's both going to work" Lali said with a smile.

Shaan's POV
I was sitting in my cabin I was supposed to be working but I accidentally ran into Diya's Instagram profile and got distracted. I just can't stop thinking about her since the time I met her.
"Hey Shaan you have to come with me to cover that event remember?" Ruby asked.
"So sorry yaar Ruby why don't you take Samart, I have to go meet my brother"
"Oh my god you have a brother?"
"Ya....unfortunately"
"Okay fine but this is the last time"
"Oh come on I know you will cover up for me always"
"Stop flirting and you have to drive me to my cousins wedding next week in return for this"
"I hate you, but I will drive you"
"Samart come on we are going to cover an event"
"Coming" Samart said making a face as his chit chat with Sruthy got interrupted.
"Hey looks like they are back together"
"When where they not together, he always had a thing for her she always had a thing for him" Ruby said.
"Ya I suppose so, anyways have fun at the event"
"And you have fun with your brother"She said and walking away but she stopped in her tracks and turned back towards me.
"By the way what's the name of your brother?"
"Sidhart" I answered.

Sid's POV
"You have a what?" Shaan asked."
Audition, I have a friend who is in casting and......"
"Wait, wait so you are telling me I spend all these years getting my ass kicked trying to get an acting job while my brother is friends with someone in casting who could get you an audition even though you don't have any experience"
"It's not about the experience this girl saw one of my old videos and thought I will look good in this part so asked me to come give this audition and I thought what's the harm in trying"
"Shaan, want some coffee?" Meena offered.
"Thank you" He said taking the cup from her hand.
"What are you even doing here?""As I am getting married I thought it would be nice if both of us came here and hanged out with some old friends"
"Great" Shaan said rolling his eyes."It was my idea" Meena said covering up for me.
***
Ruby's POV
"So how did the audition go?""I got the part which was crazy"
"Oh really more crazier than struggling for many years to achieve something only to see my banker brother achieving the same thing within two days"
"Well that was not the worse part" Priyankha said and Sid smiled.
"Then what was the worst part?" I asked.
"The worst part was I was trying to make some extra pocket money and had taken up an acting job in an album" Priyankha said.
"Oh my god you were casted opposite to Sid" I said laughing.
"You should have seen her face when we met for the first time on the sets we totally pretended like strangers throughout the shoot"
"Still not the worst part" Priyankha said.
"Then what was the worst part?"
"The worst part was I was doing double shifts so in the morning I would be working with Rohan and I would be working with Sid in the evening and both the albums had a few intimate scenes" Priyankha said.
"Eyewwwww" Both the guys said in unison.
"Why would you say something like that?" Rohan asked.
"I really didn't have to hear that" Sid said.
"Wait......even I had some intimate scenes with her in the movie" Shaan said.
"Eyewwww" Three guys said in unison.
"Yes it was a crazy time but it was really fun too" Diya said.
"Agreed" Varun said.

Varun's POV
Rohan looked intensely into Priyankha's eyes as he lifter her in his arms.
"Cut" Lali shouted. And Rohan suddenly dropped her on the floor.
"Awwww"Priyankha said and Lali face palmed herself.
"Jeez did I break your leg? But I guess it hurts less than a broken heart"
"Oh ya maybe I can break your leg right now and you can tell me which one hurts the most"Priyankha said getting up.
"Hey the only person who gets to shout around here is me, so quit fighting or I will kick both of you out" Lali said.
I laughed and earn a deadly glare from Lali which made me instantly shut up.
I looked around and saw Shaan talking to Diya.
"Lali, do you think Shaan likes Diya?"
"No"
"So it's just me?"
"No I mean I don't think I am damn sure he is head over heels in love with her"
"Not fair I met her first"
"You are not in first grade and Love is not a race sometimes the best love comes last"
"I mean he is always around and I hardly get to talk to her"
"Who told you to have a strictly professional love life?"
"Meaning?"
"Meaning why limit your relationship with her till this noisy set when there is a whole world outside"
"You are right, I should ask her out on a date, why didn't I think of that?"
"Maybe because whenever you think about stepping out all that comes to your mind are paparazzi's with their flashy cameras"
"Oh ya" I said making a sulking face.
"Listen the first person who gets news about your wear bouts is Ruby Singh I will give her a small cut and she will stay out of your way for tonight, but don't tell her you are with Diya if you ever meet her she is friends with Shaan"
"Okay that would keep the paps away so I am gonna ask her, I am really gonna ask her, oh my god this is huge" I said getting nervous.

Ruby's POV
"Oh that's how I earned that exclusive sneak peak footage of your sets?"
"Yep, you build your career using the bricks of my need for privacy"
"Enough chit chat tell me what happened did you ask her out?" Sid asked.
"Well......" Rohan began.

Rohan's POV
Lali took my hand and we went into a green room.
"Still upset at m ha?" She asked.
"You are mean on sets" I complained.
"Look who is talking"
"It was your great idea to cast her now you bare the consequence"She rolled her eyes and that's when her phone rang.
"Ya Varun.......ok calm down, take a deep breath..........she a girl not Godzilla"
"What is going on?" I asked and Lali put the call on speaker.
"Okay I will put the phone on speaker you can listen to it and tell me if I did anything wrong okay"
"Ok"Lali said and we listened to Varun and Diya through the phone.
"Hey Diya can I talk to you for a second"
"Ya of course tell me"
"What are you planning on doing tonight?"
"Well I have to stuff my face with food and fall asleep in front of the couch" She said and laughed.
"I was thinking maybe we can go out to grab a bit or something"
"We as in you and me?" She asked getting nervous.
"Ya"
"Like.....dinner"
"Ya"
"I guess.....that would be okay"
"Great I will pick you up at 9"
"Okay.........excuse me" She said.
"Okay she walked away, did I do okay, and does she know it's a date or did I mess up? I am freaking out again" Varun said through the phone.
That's when Diya opened the door and walked in we were behind a wall so she didn't see us, after closing the door behind her she took a deep breath and started jumping and dancing around in excitement.
"Trust me she knows" Lali whispered through the phone and both of us laughed.

Ruby's POV
"Can we please avoid such embarrassing situations?" Diya asked.
"Oh no they are the best part" I said.
"Then what happened?" Victor asked.
***
Diya's POV
"So I am on my way will reach there soon" Varun said through the phone.
"Oh okay"
"You ready"
"Ya I think so" I said as I looked at myself in the mirror I was looking great in my new dress which Lali brought for me.
"Varun so where exactly are you?" I asked.
That's when I heard the doorbell. And I went and opened it. I froze at my place as my mind went totally blank.
"Hi" Sid said with his old charming smile.
"Hello, Diya you still there" Varun asked, but the phone slipped out of my hand and fell on the floor as I looked at Sid shocked.
