~ Ranveer Singh's Point Of View ~

"Sir, your fans are waiting for you since an hour. I keep telling them that you are busy shooting but they pay no heed to my words. Should I send them away?"

Ranveer Singh waved his hands at his assistant Tina who kept stealing glances at the director; he seemed to be busy fighting with the producer to increase the budget of the movie.

"I am nothing without my fans; let them have a real life glimpse of this beautiful piece of work from heaven."  He winked at Tina hoping to have an effect on her but she remained calm and composed.

Tina was Ranveer's childhood friend turned investor in his first movie 'Band Baaja Baarat' and now she worked for him as his assistant. Ranveer mixed up with everyone easily but not many people could handle him due to his over the top energy and hyper excitement.

"If there is nothing else you want me to handle then I would take my leave from here, I have to discuss your future movie project with Sanjay Leela Bhansali." Without waiting for any confirmation from him, Tina left the studio without a second glance.

"Show me some moves! Shimmy your body" Farah Khan yelled at Katrina who seemed to be busy blinking rapidly at the phone in front of her.

"RANBIR IS DATING SOMEONE! NOT JUST ANY GIRL BUT A NORMAL PUBLIC PERSON! HOW DARE HE MOVE ON SO SOON?"

Farah was getting pissed off and her face was getting redder with each passing second. She was the sweetest person you would have ever met but if test her patience; you would end up in deep trouble.

"Aye, Chikni chameli! Jyada nakhre na dikha. Tu apne aap ko samajhti kya hai?" (Don't show too much attitude. What do you think of yourself?"

Katrina caught me staring at her so she coyly looked down at her lap.

"Mein Kamli, chikni chameli aur Sheila hun jo sabko unki jawaani ki yaadh diladegi"

Everyone in the studio became silent when they saw Katrina standing on the stage. She clapped hard to get everyone's attention and told them to check their hormones in control for she was going to give them the best show of their lives.

Some item song began playing in the background followed by Katrina rotating her head on the floor and I swear I saw dust particles floating away. Maybe I could use her hair as a mop to clean my house.

She shook her hips, bounced around a bit that caused a few her body parts to juggle around but I wasn't the least bit interested at all.

No one noticed me disappearing from the studio. I didn't bother asking my bodyguards to tag along with me while meeting my fans.

I put up a smirk when I noticed girl's holding a huge banner with the words "MARRY ME"

"Girls, girls. Everyone will get a chance to come near me." I spread my arms waiting for the attack to come but nothing happened. The sight before me had left me baffled.

Not even one person was looking at me; they were all looking up at the balcony where none other than my arch rival Arjun Kapoor was standing in all his sexy glory.

WOAH... PAUSE, REWIND... DID I JUST CALL HIM SEXY?

There was a time where we both were the best of friends, I had considered him to be my buddy but then he began to get more famous among the ladies and even my lady love Deepika had become his fan. One by one everyone started to love me more than me due to his homely nature.

I was getting jealous of the attention he received so to grab the girl's attention I tore off the buttons of my shirt and threw it to the ground.

"LOOK, RANVEER SINGH! WHO BHI SHIRTLESS"

Binding rays of lights flashed across my eyes, I could feel a million nails clawing their marks against my skin but I didn't stop them. Arjun didn't look pissed off; he was smiling at my direction.

He is good at covering his emotions; I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

I felt a pair of hands going towards my lower anatomy and that's when I decided that I had given these girls more than enough of this sexy piece of meat.

"Ladies! Do you want to see a shirtless Arjun? I will just go back up and bring him down." Shimming my way through the crowd I managed to get back inside the studio.

Not bothering the direction I was running into, I collided with a hard chest who managed to save my arse from falling down.

"YOU" Arjun clamped his hands over my mouth and pulled me into a random room.

"Finally, we are alone" He grinned at me revealing his pearly white teeth that put my photoshopped teeth for Colgate advertisement to shame.

He removed his hands from my mouth but his chest was still in contact with my naked chest. A shiver ran down my spine due to the close proximity between us.

Did I really run away from Arjun because of jealousy or something else? It wasn't like I was trying to find happiness elsewhere or more specifically, in a certain gender.

"You remember our sleepovers during Gunday movie right?" He looked deep into my eyes, piercing right into my soul. What did he want from me? Did he want to hear any false claims? Maybe he wanted to close the chapter once and for all.

"I can never forget those golden days of my life. It was the best thing that had ever happened to me but then you became distant and tried flirting with Priyanka. She didn't fall for your tactics, I was so happy but then you went ahead and wooed Deepika. I was furious with rage, HOW COULD YOU EASILYJUMP INTO HER ARMS?"

By now his eyes had turned a darker shade; I grabbed him by the waist and pulled him over the bed.

"You want to know why? Because of that stupid gorgeous kid ALIA. You were running behind her like a love sick puppy, teaching her to make round chapattis, transferring to a new city, pleasing her parents and what not. I tried to contact you again but what do I see? You became a humble homely man and flew to another country with Kareena. Did you expect me to just sit and watch you stringing along with beauty queens?"

"FINE I admit it, I was jealous that you began paying attention to those ladies more than me... what could I have done? You were my best friend but then you had to come and kiss me during the last shooting day of Gunday under the pretext of being drunk. You sneaked into my room every night till the movie premiered but then you just left me."

My heart was beating wildly against my rib cage, I wanted to apologize to him, make him feel better but then what else? We couldn't go back to how it was because things were definitely not normal between us. We could never be just best friends.

Arjun was the only one who perfectly understood me better than anyone else. I used to love waking up to the smell of breakfast in bed while he stood there in a fluffy blue robe and pink colored bunny slippers.

We were each other's dirty secret. We both loved acting as it was running in our veins but not so much to the extent of leaving it just to start a home, start a family.

"What should we do? Forget everything and move on? We will meet each other again at various occasions you know."

"For now, I could only suggest one thing..." it was not a sudden plan but I always had it at the back of mind.

Arjun laced his fingers with mine giving me a gentle smile to carry on.

"For the outside world we could be just best friends, we could live in together just like how those kids do while studying or working at a new place. The only difference is that between us there will be a Dostana in the house. For now, we could keep this as a secret. Later on, we can let the world know about us and if things do come out in the open in a nasty way and no one supports us, then we could leave to a better place where no one questions our love."

Love is the most powerful thing in the world but if people don't allow a person to love according to his own will then what's the use of it? Where is the freedom in it?

You can't decide to fall in love with a person. You may not fall in love with a person but rather an object or a hobby that makes you passionate and gives you satisfaction also but if this brings you happiness, then nothing else shouldn't even matter but alas this seems to be a distant reality for most people.

The boundaries are not just limited to gender identify but even race,colour, religion and what not.

Love is supposed to bring people together, not bring a division!

Love need not necessarily be romance, it could be a pure unadulterated raw emotion where two people care for each other with no sexual intentions.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone and I'm sorry for not making it detailed but I wanted to keep it short and brief. Maya wants people to write Desi stories where the characters are not straight because we don't see a lot of writers writing in this genre. I couldn't write a whole new book hence the once shot.

Thanks for reading it.
