Kartik somehow escaped from the question of Naira. Even he don't know how tell her about everything and how will she react to it. He know that he is acting like a coward and fool, but he don't want to take a risk on her matters. He came near his daadi

Kartik: next time don't arrange such public events, when naira is with us. We must ensure her safety and all. Don't be reckless in this matter.

Daadi: but why. She is a celebrity like all. Why can't she be at such public events. And being with us protect her from all kind of dangers naa.

Kartik: that's not right. It's just a false belief of all. Next to me is not safe for her and you guys won't understand what I mean to say.

Just then samarth came their

Pratigya ji ( actress working under Goenka productions) is here. Tayi ji come

Kartik: daadi you go and handle other things, am busy in looking after my co star. Don't assign any kind of duty to me. Am already busy.

In otherside

Pratigya met naira.

Naira: oh di what a pleasant surprise. I forgot that you too is under same production house. How are you di? How's the work going on?

Pratigya: you know na working with Goenkas is always fun. Am really enjoying this part of my life.  Actually I didn't expect you here. Is that means break up Rumours are false like we wished.

Naira: no di, we actually broke up one year before. We are just two friends and relatives. That's it

Media who spotted them came near them

Ma'am meeting eachother after so long. How excited you guys are?

Pratigya: very much. She is my favourite actress from this genaration. I really like her capability to be best in any role she opt. And am also a kaira fan

We all are ma'am. We miss our kaira dating era... 🥺

Pratigya: I still donno whose eyes fell on these two people. A jodi that is perfect from all angle. Sorry naira, but still I miss kaira more than anyone. I still wish to see you guys together.

Naira: first love is always a sweet and sour story of pain. So it happened this way. Now we are just friends.

Just then Manish ask everyone to come to the stage. Within few

Seconds everyone assembles on the stage.

Manish: this big is our family. Am blessed to have this few genuine and kind hearted people in my life. Thanks for giving your best to us and our production house. Now I will give the Mike to Kartik... I know fans are eager to here him.

Kartik :  even am glad to be a part of this function. I got an opportunity to celebrate with these talented soul

Fan: sir when is your next work with our vedika do??

Kartik: not yet planned to work with each other.

K'Fan: sir are you happy to work on your ongoing works? We felt that you are not

Kartik: that's your thoughts... Not mine. Am cent percent happy to do this ongoing works of mine. I saw this as the peak time of career. And am blessed with a co-star like naira. Naira is truly blessing to her co-stars. This disciplined artists are rare. And guys it's not a Q& A session.  Now I am passing the Mike to pratigya ji.

Pratigya took the Mike, but a question from a fan of naira made her silent for a second. The question was

Ma'am, do you like naira di and Ranveer sir's chemistry?

She smiles and then replies

Pratigya: Am a kaira fan despite of what's their real life status. I like their chemistry and bonding. So it will take time for me to accept Ranveer and Naira's jodi. That doesn't mean I hate the idea of Ranveer pairing up with naira. I wish them all the best.

Then Suhasini took the Mike and gave it to her favourite, Naira.

Naira: first of all am glad to be a part of this function. I don't know how happy it is to catch up with our friends. We can share everything with them without the tension of being judged. Am just enjoying this.

Can we get an exclusive interview of Kaira and pratigya

Kartik: sure 😊

Others left giving them space to interview.

Fans are confused about one thing...

KartikGoenka: no we are not pretending to be okay. We are behaving the way we are. We don't fake it. She calls me Mr goenka in private and before you. If she wants them she can fake it. So don't overthink.

Pratigya ji, you already told that you are a kaira fan. How did you react to their break up news one year before.

Pratigya: that was shocking. I didn't expect such an ending to their love story. I really felt dejected. But we should respect them

Kartik: we can't satisfy everyone. At some points we need to take decision that is too hard to even think about.

Naira: life is not what we can predict. So I think fans will soon move on from us like we did.

Do you like Ranveer sir and Naira ma'am jodi

Pratigya: I saw promos. they are doing a great job. Their chemistry is commendable.

When can we see kaira again on screen together

Naira : actually we are doing two series together, what more you guys want from us.

Kartik: exactly 💯

Interview ends

Program started. Everyone gave their performance and its now

Naira's turn she was dancing passionately. Just then her leg sprained a bit making her fall down. But all of a sudden a hand

savef her from falling down and it's none other than her, Mr Goenka. Obsessive fans can't accept the sight of Karthik marching their to save her before all. Without wasting a second, he

Grabbed her into his embrace and hugged her tightly. The fans

of kaira threw garland on them

Kartik: are you okay naira?

Naira: are you okay Mr Goenka. Ohh look your fans will kill me for this one...

Kartik: no They won't and they can't. Because I am standing before you. They need to cross me to reach you.

He made her stand properly. Later Ranveer took her back to Goenka house.

Evening

Kartik came back after spending some time alone. He saw Ranveer sitting alone in the lawn

What happened buddy?

The question of Karthik grabbed the attention of Ranveer

Ranv: do you still like naira?

Kartik: I don't have an answer

Ranveer: then can I love her ?

Kartik walked away without saying anything.

Ranveer pov 💭

I will make you confess your feelings for her. You can't be like this Kartik.
