Hi everyone
I wanted to write an Ashdeep OS but like always, lost control of my words... and now it's a TS
This is part 1...and it's really a long one
So please, bear with me

Randeep was pacing in his room. He was restless was an understatement. He was a nervous wreck. Last few months had not been easy for him. The pressure of appearing normal and happy, fulfilling all commitments, meeting family and friends, attending the needed social events... everything just added to his tension. How he wished the show had not ended so soon. He was not ready yet... neither to leave the show... nor to leave her.

The thought filled him with more pain.

ASHI...

This one name had been tormenting him for so long. It was bearable when they were shooting together everyday. He could see her, touch her, hear her laughter... and the role of a married couple gave him ample chances to lose himself in her deep, dove shaped eyes.

A blush crept up on his face as he recalled the instances when he forgot that they were shooting... and behaved as if the two of them were alone.

At the time of shooting of Tohfa song, he had slipped so many times... it was the first time he was holding her this close, and she was looking ravishing in that orange outfit. When she had touched his forehead filling up the parting of her hair with it... he just couldn't control, letting his emotions slip out. Later, when everyone started to tease him, he had laughed it off. But the feeling had left him shaken.

Once, he had even called out her actual name during a show sequence... and somehow it had missed the eyes of editing team as well. But fans had caught it instantly, filling up all SM sites with the clip.

"Oh Ashi, tumne pagal bana diya hai mujhe." He held his head in his hands, slumping on the chair in his living room.

"Yaar tu baat kyon nahi kar leta... zyada se zyada kya hoga... na bol degi... par yeh tension jo paal ke baitha hai yeh toh khatam hogi na." Zain had suggested when he was with his friends a few days back.

"Yehi toh darr hai yaar... jab tak baat nahi hogi tab tak hope hai... lekin maine pucha aur usne naa bol diya toh?" Randeep was in a dilemma.

"Agar usne na bol diya toh aaram se Devdas banke baithne ka, simple." Abhilash had shrugged, earning an angry glare from Zain and a flying cushion from Randeep.

Letting out a deep breath, he looked around. This flat in a high rise was a big achievement for him. When he had thrown housewarming party, which happened to be the celebration for show's 350 episodes as well, he had mentioned in the interview that he wanted to get married during the show. He was sure there was plenty of time. He would be able to find out if Ashi had some feelings for him... if she would consider making her reel hero her real hero. That day was unforgettable. He had himself shown her around. She was excited and cheerful, praising his taste and choice.

He wanted to tell her there and then... that the most exquisite choice he had made was right in front of his eyes... but the crowd around them had stopped him. He wanted the moment of his confession to be their own, private one.

"Jab 500 episodes ki party karenge, usse pehle din bol dunga... usse keh dunga ki agar haan hai toh party mein pink pehen ke aana." He had promised himself.

Pink was not only his online character's choice for his wife, it was the colour he loved on Ashi...

"Tum hamesha black kyon pehenti ho?" He had asked once.

"Tum bhi toh pehente ho... kyon?" She answered his question with a question... a typical habit of hers.

"Ashi, ab main orange ya green color ka blazer pehen ke toh nahi aa sakta na." He had offered what he thought was a fair reason.

"Deep, jab orange aur green colour ke joote pehen ke aa sakte ho toh blazer kyon nahi?" She retorted in the same tone, throwing another question at him.

He had no answer... but then, he was always tongue tied in front of her. Her bubbly and chirpy demeanor always left him mesmerised.

It was not like this from the beginning. Randeep had felt a strong dislike for her during his initial days of shooting two years back. Her loud laughter somehow made him conscious... and he thought she was making fun of him.

"Samajhti kya hai khud ko... isse zyada time se shows kar raha hun... senior manne ki bajaye hansti rehti hai mujh pe." He was muttering in his green room one day when his co stars Sanjay and Raghav came in.

"All well, Randeep? Upset kyon lag raha hai." Raghav had asked him.

"Kuch nahi, yaar, woh tumhari heroine hai na... shayad khud ko sach mein bohot badi heroine samajhti hai... jab dekho mujh pe hansti rehti hai." Randeep gritted his teeth.

Sanjay sniggered while Raghav gave him a thoughtful look, "Hamari heroine nahi, Randeep, woh teri heroine hai... humein toh show mein side heroine tak nahi milegi."

Randeep glared at them, fuming, "Agar mujhse puchenge toh main bhi manaa kar dunga... uss nakchadi ladki ke saath ek, ek scene kaise karta hun mujhe hi pata hai."

"Control yaar, abhi fir bhi gusse wale scene hi hain... aage jaake romance dikhana padega tab kya karega... aise ubalta raha toh kaise chalega?" Sanjay patted his shoulder to soothe his anger.

Randeep palmed his face in frustration, "Pehla itna bada show hai aur heroine ke naam pe yeh ghamadi actress... meri hi kismat itni kharab kyon hai?"

"Randeep, humne toh aisa feel nahi kiya... hamare saath kitni baar baatein hoti hain jab tu apne iss kop bhawan mein baitha rehta hai... she's nice... kyon Sanjay?" Raghav looked at his costar.

Sanjay nodded in confirmation, "Sahi keh raha hai tu, mast rehti hai... aur mujhe toh koi attitude nahi dikha usmein."

"Shayad saara attitude mujhe hi dikhane ke liye rakha hai." Randeep muttered angrily.

But things started to change after two months of shooting. He realised her laughter was not directed at him... but a part of her personality. She was a happy person... freely talking to everyone... be it co stars, or people working on the sets, fans visiting them, or the families of actors. She happily shared her home food with everyone. In fact, food was what had broken the ice between them.

"Randeep, tum bhi hamare saath khaa sakte ho... pet nahi kharab ho jayega tumhara." She had called out to him one day as she opened the containers of her large tiffin.

She was surrounded by Ayesha, Kittu, Raghav and Chandresh ji... all looked at him as he had turned to leave for his makeup room.

He sat down just for the sake of decency... not keen to earn a tag of rude behaviour.

The food was delicious. Ashi urged everyone to take more helpings, forcing him to do the same. Thanks to her, he was able to eat a healthy, home cooked meal after a long time. Slowly, he started sitting with her a few times, sharing her food and listening to her excited banter about her sisters and her two year old niece. And his opinion started to change. She was an extremely simple, down to earth person who exuded warmth and charisma, charming everyone around her. He couldn't remain untouched either.

But the real feelingss started to develop when they had gone for outdoor shoot... to Mount Abu. Her involvement with the role was so deep that he saw her crying one day after a heavy, emotional scene.

"Ashi, kya hua tumhe? Ro kyon rahi ho?" He asked, finding her hiding in a corner as her mom was also on the set.

"Randeep, yeh Sameer itna heartless kyon hai?" She had surprised him by complaining against the character he was playing.

He didn't know whether to laugh or console her.

"Tum character ke liye ro rahi ho? Are you serious? Tumhe toh aage ka track pata hai na... sab theek ho jayega... aur yeh sirf acting hai... sach mein koi Sameer kisi Naina ke saath aisa thodi kar raha hai." He had tried to keep his voice normal.

She looked up at him. And his heart constricted to see the pain in her eyes... Naina's pain was reflecting in them even when no cameras were on, no scene was being shot, they were their real selves and not the characters they were playing.

"Lekin socho, agar sach mein koi Naina hoti toh... kitni chot lagi hoti uske dil ko... usne toh sachha pyaar kiya tha... aur Sameer ne bichari ka dil tod diya." Fresh stream of tears started to flow from her eyes.

He was shocked beyond belief at the depth of pain she was feeling. Not knowing what else to do, he sat down next to her on the floor where she was sitting with her back against the wall. Holding her hand, he pressed it for assurance.

She did not object, sitting close to him, with their arms pressed against each other, his hand linked with her... she continued to sob for some more time.

Finally, when he felt she was in control, he bent ahead to look at her face.

"Aise kya dekh rahe ho? Pagal nahi hun... bas dil bhar aaya tha." She snapped.

He couldn't help but smile, "Thodi pagal toh lagi mujhe."

She laughed, and he felt a weight lift off his shoulders. Her smile was the most radiant thing he had seen in a place that was inundated with beauty.

That was when it registered why her smile mattered so much to him...

He was in love... he was in love with Ashi.

They went back to Mumbai a few days later but the sound of her kinkling laughter still brought a smile on his face when he was alone at home. He did not realise how much he had become dependent on her proximity to remain happy. The day their shots were seperate, he was glum... and quiet.

They had been shooting together for six months now. They had even started to go out as a gang, enjoying movies and eating at funky places. He kept his feelings to himself... hoping that probably someday, he would get a hint about what she thought of him.

"Randeep? Buddhu hai yeh toh... pata nahi kya sochta rehta hai saara time... koi bhi kahega ki kisi purani girlfriend ke khyaalon mein khoya rehta hai... kyon Mr Rai... kaun hai jisse aapki wajah se roz hichkiyan aati hongi?" Ashi had one day teased him when they all were discussing about each other.

Her words had left him perplexed. How could she mention some girl in his life so casually... did it not disturb her... did she not feel even a wee bit jealous... did she have no interest in him...

But he could not stop his heart from getting drawn to her more and more. And when their on screen characters got together again, he somehow saw it as a sign... a sign of positivity... that they had a chance to be together in real life too.

Still, he kept his image to the outer world totally different. He stressed upon the fact that he was never interested in any involvement with his costars... he didn't want any rumours to scare her or create distance between them. In fact, he avoided her when they were on camera for reasons other than shooting of the show. But when they shot for an iv for Valentine's Day, it felt like an omen... and he couldn't remain dry and aloof. After the whole sequence was shot, the director had congratulated them for bringing out the chemistry that was so vital for this segment.

"Wow Randeep, ab toh tum show ke bahar bhi acting karne lage ho... achha laga dekh ke... nahi toh mujhe lagta tha shayad mujh mein kaante hain jinse tum itna darte ho ki scene karte hi door bhagte ho." Ashi grinned at him when they came out of the studio.

He was taken aback.

"Arre baba, joke tha... har baat mein itna serious hona zaruri nahi hai... thoda chill kara karo, yaar." She had laughed again.

"Umm... yeh pata lagane ka toh ek hi tareeka hai ki kaante hain ya nahi." He decided to give her an inkling of his feelings.

She gave a questioning look, still smiling.

"Hug karke prove kardo." He shrugged.

It was not the 90s of their show... and Ashi was always giving friendly hugs to everyone... though, somehow, it had never happened with Randeep... either they left the set together when they planned to meet friends or when he joined late, she was seated away in the restaurant, or some such weird reason.

Without thinking for a second she hugged him tight, like she did all her friends.

He stumbled back, but balanced himself. Hesitantly his arms came around her, drowning in the heavenly feeling.

"Chubhe?" She left him as abruptly a few seconds later.

"Huh?" Suddenly bereft of her warmth, he was a little lost.

"Kaante chubhe kya?" She asked again... raising her brows high as if she genuinely wanted to know.

Randeep laughed, "Ashi, tum kabhi serious hoti ho?"

"Haww... serious hoke hi toh pooch rahi hun... tumhe kya joke lag raha hai?" She pouted.

He wanted to pull her chubby cheeks as they puffed up.

Their equation had started to get better till he came to know the heartbreaking news of a separation track.

"Yaar, abhi abhi toh love story shuru hui thi... yeh track abhi se laana kyon zaroori tha?" He was cribbing to himself when Raghav tapped him on the shoulder.

"Dialogue practice kar raha hai kya?" He queried.

"Nahi toh." Randeep was surprised at his question.

"Nahi woh tune same question pucha jo episode mein Sameer bolta hai... isliye laga shayad practice kar raha hai." Raghav occupied the chair next to him, speaking nonchalantly.

Randeep wasn't sure if his friend was serious or he himself was becoming so transparent.

The Delhi track of the show wasn't as painful as he was dreading. Thanks to the requirement of dream sequences, he often got a chance to shoot with Ashi... and all those sequences were on beautiful, romantic songs. He thoroughly enjoyed them.

When the college track began, after the initial shooting of few days where he was supposed to stay aloof from her, Randeep started loving their scenes. The level of romance started to increase a bit... there were more eyelocks, and more closeness.

"Aajkal bada khush rehta hai tu. Chakkar kya hai?" Sanjay had asked one day.

"Chakkar? Chakkar kya hoga, bas achha lag raha hai ki show sabko itna pasand aa raha hai." He replied casually.

"Pakka na? Dekh Randeep agar koi baat hai toh humse share kar sakta hai." Raghav gave him a serious look.

Randeep had become quite friendly with both the guys. They were amazing... both of them. Raghav had a great sense of humour and Sanjay was very sensible. Just like their onscreen friendship, in real also they shared a great bond. But he could not share his secret with them. After all, they worked together, they had started to hang out together, they often sat together on the sets... if these two blurted out anything by mistake, it could hurt Ashi.

It seemed that not only her exuberance rubbed onto him, but her proximity made lady luck shine on him as well. A movie offer from Bollywood finalised. He was on cloud nine.

Ashi had come rushing to his makeup room.

"Andar aa jaun na... kuch ulta seedha toh dekhne ko nahi milega?" She could not knock like normal people.

A wide smile spread on his face. Jumping to his feet he opened the door... and she had banged into him... taking him into a bone crushing hug.

"Congratulations... bohot khush hun tumhare liye... kitni achhi news hai." She screamed, bursting with genuine happiness for him.

"Wow, movie milne ki news pe aisi hug toh movie complete hone pe kya karogi tum?" He asked hopefully.

"Sab kuch main hi karun? Tum kuch nahi kar sakte kya?" Her habit of throwing question for a question was nothing new to him.

But her words took him by surprise. Was she hinting at something... was she telling him to make the first move...

His doubts, however, were laid to rest by her next sentence.

"Itna kya soch rahe ho buddhu, party nahi doge kya movie ke baad? Tum bhi na Deep... dumbo ho ek number ke." She poked his forehead.

He had just smiled, comforting his disappointed heart.

What he did not anticipate was how much he would miss her during the shoot of movie which was in a small town near Delhi.

"Jab main Jhansi mein tha toh sab kehte the Mumbai jao, saari shooting wahin hoti hain... Mumbai mein rehna chahta hun toh shooting ke liye itni door jaana pad raha hai... kaash kuch aisa ho jaaye ki saare scene yahin shoot karne ho."

But his prayers went unanswered and he had to leave for Delhi.

It was normal for their gang to have a group chat. Staying away also, he was connected, talking daily with them. He earnestly wanted to make a personal call to Ashi... to hear her voice, to hear her laughter... but courage failed him.

And one day, just like that, she called.

"Hi Randeep... how's life? Kaisi chal rahi hai shooting?" Her chirpy voice lifted his mood instantly.

"All well. Shooting bhi sahi hai... tum batao... wahan sab theek hai?" He hoped he was sounding normal, and not like a love struck teenage boy that he was feeling presently.

"Yahan kya hoga?" Her question to his question.

Oh God! How much he was missing her... should he ask her if he could make a video call...

"Randeep, kahan gaye? Disturb kar rahi hun kya? Baad mein call karun?" Her voice brought him out of his thoughts, and he smacked his forehead for losing himself rather than talking to her.

"Nahi, nahi Ashi... phone mat katna." He blurted in nervousness.

"Phone kyon katungi? Baat karni hai tabhi kiya hai na." She gave the obvious reply.

"Bolo, kya baat karni hai? Main sunn raha hun." He closed his eyes... seeing her face loom up to make him feel she was here.

"Kyon? Tumhare paas kuch bolne ko bhi nahi hai, forever boring Rai?" She chuckled again.

"Umm... mere scenes nahi hain aajkal toh... toh koi problem toh nahi hoti na?" He so wished she would say she missed him.

"Problem kya hogi? Hamare scenes toh chal hi rahe hain na... par yaar, tumhe miss karte hain sab... tumhara schedule time pe khatam ho jayega na?" Her words were not exactly what he wanted to hear, but they were not less than a song to him.

"Haan Ashi. Main bohot jaldi wapas aa jaunga... waise mera mann toh kar raha hai abhi aa jaun." He wanted to add 'tumhare paas' but refrained from being cheesy like Sameer.

"Wahan mazaa nahi aa raha kya?" Her question made him sigh.

He couldn't wipe off the grin from his face for the rest of the day.

Landing in Mumbai had never given him so much excitement ever before... the roads, buildings, cabs, chaos, horns... everything gave him such pleasure. He wanted to go straight to their sets, but the shoot was over for the day. He would have to wait till tomorrow to meet her.

Next morning, everyone was elated to see him back on the set, hugging and congratulating him. He smiled back, thanking them, waiting for the person he was dying to meet.

"So good to see you, yaar... bada miss kiya humne tujhe." Raghav gave a brotherly hug, along with Sanjay.

"Thanks yaar, aaj sabka shoot nahi hai kya?" His eyes impatiently roamed all over the place.

Raghav and Sanjay exchanged a glance.

"Sab hain toh yahan... woh dekh, teri heroine ke sab ghar wale baithe hain, unka scene hi hai agla." Sanjay pointed at all actors who played Ashi's family.

"Nahi matlab, woh... hamara group... matlab aaj hum logon ke kitne shots hain?" Randeep was craning his neck to look as far as possible.

"Tu seedhe seedhe kyon nahi puchta Ashi kahan hai?" Sanjay glared at him.

Randeep felt like his heart fell somewhere inside his stomach. He looked at both of them... they stared back with narrowed eyes.

"Aisa... aisa kuch nahi hai... main toh sabke... Ayesha, Kittu, Somi, sabke baare mein puch raha tha." He fumbled, turning to his side to hide his eyes from them.

Raghav came close to him, placing a hand on his shoulder, "I think ab tujhe Ashi se baat kar leni chahiye."

"Kis... kis baare mein?" Randeep hoped the question brought the right amount of inquisitive expression.

"America ka agla President kaun banega iss baare mein." Sanjay crossed his arms, raising one brow.

Randeep was genuinely puzzled this time, "America ka President?"

"Abe yaar, tu sach mein itna slow hai ya Ashi ke pyaar mein itna pagal ho gaya hai?" Raghav gave him a shock again.

As he looked from one to another, they both smiled.

"Randeep, humein pata hai tu Ashi se kitna pyaar karne laga hai... time aa gaya hai ki usko bhi bata de." Raghav said in a gentle voice.

"Uggghhh." Randeep fell back on the narrow bed in his green room, hiding his face behind his palms.

There was silence for a few minutes.

"Sabko dikhta hai kya? Usko bhi pata chal gaya hoga?" He sat up, his brow marked with tension lines.

The two boys grinned, happy to see him finally accept, at least to them. They sat down on his either side.

"Humein pata chal gaya... uska maloom nahi. Waise tu achha chupata hai toh shayad bahar koi na samajh paaye par humne teri shikayeten bhi suni thi aur ab teri fiqr aur bechaini bhi dekhte hain... isliye samajh aa gaya bro." Raghav winked at him.

Finally, when he saw her, he was shocked. Ashi and Ayesha were dressed in most garish clothes he had ever seen... their hair were tied in plaits and folded with big bows of ribbon tied behind their ears.

"Yeh kya hai? Inke college costumes aise hone wale hain kya?" Randeep had blurted to his friends.

Sanjay let out a hearty laugh, "Darr mat hero, teri heroine college mein bhi heroine hi rahegi."

"Yeh ek dream sequence hai... dono behno ka... ki taiji unhe aise college bhejengi." Raghav eased his fears.

When he met Ashi after their scene, she excitedly waved at him, not conscious about her appearance at all.

"Randeep, tu na Ashi ke birthday pe bata de usko." Sanjay suggested when they were waiting between shots.

Randeep quickly turned to look at him, "Kab hai uska birthday?"

"Ek week baad." Raghav stated.

It was a brilliant idea, thought Randeep. But with so many people around, would he be able to say anything. But he decided to try. Usually, people were happier on their birthdays. Ashi would be more receptive at that time, for sure.

Yes, it was the perfect time to try.

But his plans didn't work out as they were shooting the whole day... and then, her family arrived on the set for cake cutting. Though he was happy to meet them, he didn't have the heart to speak to Ashi while they were around. However, when she had cut the cake, and others urged him to go ahead and give a slice to her, he threw all caution to wind, smearing her face with the cake.

"Ek gaana toh banta hai, Randeep." Ayesha hollered from behind, expecting him to sing some birthday song.

And all he could think of was the most inappropriate song for the moment. Later when he was watching the clips raining all over SM, he wanted to crawl in some shell... whatever was he thinking, singing a song like that with the whole unit, her family and recording teams surrounding them.

"Waise kehna padega, bro... tera style unique hai." Sanjay laughed hard the next day when they arrived at the set.

"Please yaar, ghar walo ne kam taang kheechi hai jo tum bhi bol rahe ho." He turned red as both his co stars had a hearty laugh.

"Ashi, woh kal ke liye sorry." He blurted the moment he saw her.

"Deep, tumne birthday pe shaadi wala gaana kyon gaaya? Tum bhool gaye kya ki mera birthday hai... tum meri shaadi mein nahi aaye." Ashi fired her question.

His jaw hit the ground... he would never attend her wedding... they would invite others to attend their wedding... at least that is what he planned to do.

"Main woh... " He was at a loss of words.

"Aate nahi kya birthday wale songs? Laga tha mujhe... chalo koi nahi... par kal itna saara cake laga diya na tumne... pata hai wig ko kitni mushkil se saaf kiya hai? Tumhe toh pehenna nahi padta... mere liye kitni aafat hai usse maintain karna." She went on and on with her cheerful complaints, but showed no trace of annoyance.

The college track had its ups and downs... they were shown as separated again but they were shooting together everyday. Their love story came back on track shortly... bringing scenes of their subtle romance.

All through, Randeep couldn't help falling more and more in love with Ashi, still maintaining his cool boy image to outside world.

They were now showing the final year of college.

He was surprised to see her dance performance during one of the scenes where she was playing a princess. He knew she danced well, but her mesmerising moves on a folk song made his heart do somersaults. When everyone praised his expressions, he wanted to scream to the world that he wasn't acting... those were his true reactions.

As was his anger... ever since that forced hug by other actor. The turbulence he had enacted was real too.

"Ab tum gussa chod sakte ho... shoot khatam ho gaya." Ashi said, offering him a can of coke when she saw him sitting alone after the shot, his jaw clenched.

He looked up sharply at her. Her beautiful, radiant face silhouetted against the evening light made him forget everything else.

She fake coughed when he continued to stare, without blinking.

"M... mere liye?" He looked at the can sheepishly.

She let out a sharp exhale, "Tumhare liye kyon laungi? Woh jo shooting ke time auditorium mein last row mein sixth seat pe baitha tha na, uske liye laayi thi... lekin ab uski shakal bhool gayi, toh kahan dhundne jaun... isliye tum hi le lo."

He held the can, wondering how she came up with such absurd things at the drop of a hat.

"Kya? Aisi look kya de rahe ho? Baith sakti hun ya nahi?" Another set of questions fired.

He quickly pulled out the chair next to him. She sank in it.

"Mujhe bhi achha nahi laga." Her voice, for a change, wasn't as lively.

"Kya?" He brows joined in confusion.

"Zabardasti ka hug." She stated, staring at some far away point on the set.

She seemed to be lost.

"Ashi, usne real mein koi badtameezi ki kya tumse?" His hand under the table fisted.

"Nahi baba, woh Hitesh toh normally behave karta hai... bas main scene se disturb ho gayi... tumhari shakal pe likha tha ki tum bhi effect hue toh socha tumhi se share kar lun." She gave a soft smile.

His heart started knocking hard on his chest... he wanted to tell her that as of now, he was affected by her proximity and her beautiful smile.

"Sameer ko bhi samajhna chahiye tha na? Ab Naina ki kya galti hai? Usne kaha tha kya Kartik ko ki aao aur mujhe hug karo." She babbled, almost to herself.

He swallowed hard, as if he was responsible for all mistakes of Sameer.

"Ab dekho, Naina ko toh sab taraf se problem ho gayi na... ghar wale gussa, Sameer naraaz, Kartik aur baaki sab hans rahe hain uspe... koi nahi samajh raha ki usse kaisa mehsoos hua... she felt violated yaar... usse koi nahi samajh paa raha... aur aage yeh hai bhi nahi track mein." She was serious.

Randeep was dismayed at her point... she was right. He had been agitated at the mere thought of someone touching her like this but he had not seen it from her point of view.

"Tumhe pata hai, Randeep... main yeh sab tumhe kyon keh rahi hun?" She turned her eyes at him.

Was she saying all this as a warning?

"Tum ek gentleman ho... hamesha girls ko poora respect dete ho... kabhi tumne kisi co star ko unnecessary close laane ki koshish nahi ki... balki har outdoor mein, iv mein, ya hum kahin bhi jaate hain tum sabka extra khyal rakhte ho... you show genuine respect... isiliye tum bhi iss shot se itne hurt huye... toh mujhe laga tum zaroor samjhoge mera point."

If her warm smile had made his heart go crazy, her thoughts about him made him burn in shame. Here he was feeling jealous and she thought he was upset for the disrespect shown to her character. Well, he was not exactly unmindful of the way women needed to be treated, he himself took utmost care, but in present scenario, the emotion involved was related to his heart.

"Chalo, take care... mera shot ready hai... tum toh jaane wale hoge na? Aaj ke scenes khatam hain tumhare... lucky you." She waved, and left without waiting for an answer.

And then, came the day when they had to shoot for the first onscreen hug... and a cheek and hand kiss.

Would try to give the second and last part Tuesday evening
