Part 6

Bajaj was amazed to see Prerna's dance, full of grace and elegance. 

He sits on the rock and watches her dance. After completing her dance, Prerna is surprised to see Bajaj.

Prerna: Mr. Bajaj!

Bajaj: Who are you?

Prerna: My name is Prerna

Bajaj: Nice name.

Prerna: I see you daily at the studio. Do you know Ms. Yamini Devi? I dance with her.

Bajaj walked towards Prerna and said, "Impressive. Come to the studio tomorrow at 10 am to meet the director."

Prerna: Thanks a lot Mr. Bajaj.

Bajaj: You are welcome.

Prerna gets overjoyed as she gets a much-needed breakthrough and an opportunity to act with her favorite star, Mr. Rishabh Bajaj.

The next day, Bajaj reached the studio. The producer said, "Sonakshi is leaving the show."

The director said, "Sonakshi is one of the top actresses. She got a better offer. So she's quitting."

Director: It is an excellent idea that a top star is leaving for better prospects where she will get an opportunity to act with top film stars and eventually settle with one of them.

The producer said, "We need a good replacement."

At home, Prerna sits on the cot and reads the magazine. The phone rings. Prerna picked up the call.

The director said, "We are impressed with the dance that Bajaj recorded and showed us. Come to the studio right away."

Prerna gets elated and runs to brandstrand rocks, where Anurag is sitting. He sees Prerna and says, "Be careful."

Prerna reached Anurag and said, "I'm delighted. You won't believe it if I tell you."

Anurag: What happened?

Prerna: Do you know star Rishab Bajaj?

Anurag: So?

Prerna: He called me today.

Anurag: He called you? Why?

Prerna: Think.

Anurag: Please tell.

Prerna: Think about it.

Anurag: Am I an astrologer? Please tell.

Prerna: He is making a film with me as a heroine. I have to go in for a screen test tomorrow.

Anurag: That's unbelievable. What are you saying?

Prerna: Really! I swear. That's it, Anurag. Now watch it. I'll display my acting skills so well that it will impress the directors. Everyone will keep watching me. Yeah!

The next day, Prerna went to the studio for a screen test.

The choreographer and his men said, "Emoting through the eyes is the most critical aspect in acting. So, whatever dialogues you deliver, feel them. Immerse yourself completely into that character. Feel the emotions. Yes- bring it to that side."

Seeing a chaotic environment, the director said, "Silence, Please."

He asked, "Prerna, are you ready?"

Prerna: Yes Sir.

The shoot begins.

Prerna fumbles to deliver the dialogues.

The director said, "Cut it. One more."

Prerna fumbles yet again.

The director said, "Cut it. Take 11. Action."

Prerna fumbles. Tears roll out of her eyes.

The director said, "Cut it. Lights off."

Prerna goes to the room crying.

Bajaj went to Prerna and said, "Why do you have to cry? It happens to the best of the actors, including me."

Prerna: If I can't deliver even two lines outside, I have no right to come before the camera.

Bajaj: You needn't be so severe. We will cancel the shoot today, so you will have time to rehearse tomorrow's dialogues. We will do it tomorrow.

Kamolika enters.

Bajaj said, "Meet my fiancee, Kamolika." t

Prerna: Nice meeting you.

Kamolika: Nice meeting you, too. Is it the first film with Mr. Bajaj?

Prerna: Yes, you are right.

Prerna and Kamolika get into the car. They drop Prerna at her house and go on a date.

They went to a luxurious hotel.

Kamolika: I wish to act with you as I get uncomfortable when you act with Sujal, Rakesh, and others. You are mine.

Rishab: Of course, I'm yours. Everyone knows that we are going to get married. It was fine when we weren't committed to each other. But got engaged. So the public won't enjoy our movies. It's better if we don't mix up personal lives with work. You've got to trust just as I trust you when you act with other male leads. Once we marry, we will make movies and hire young artists. It is just a matter of two weeks, but you must bear it till then.

Bajaj and Kamolika spent quality time in the hotel and went home.

Meanwhile, Anurag sings, "Aa Laut Ke Aaja mere mean..."

The doorbell rings.

Anurag: Anurag is not at home.

Prerna: It's me.

Anurag got up and opened the door. Prerna enters.

Prerna: Hold the paper.

Anurag took the paper & said, "What should I do?

Prerna: Whatever are the dialogues of Rakesh, you say that.

Anurag: Who is that Rakesh?

Prerna: He is the hero of the movie. You read the dialogues after me. Let's start now.

Prerna delivers the heroine's dialogue.

Anurag looks at the paper blank.

Prerna: says the ladt dialog, "I'm shocked."

Anurag looked at the paper & is struggling to understand.

Prerna: Please read Rakesh's dialogues.

Anurag reads, but it doesn't come naturally.

Prerna: Give me the paper. How are you reading? Please say it with emotions.

Anurag: What will I read with emotions? First of all, I don't know who is Rakesh. On top of that, you suddenly handed the paper to me, and you are shouting at me now. I won't read the dialogue.

Prerna: Fine, don't read.

Anurag: Yes, I won't read.

Prerna: Don't do anything.

She cries. Anurag turned back.

Prerna: Do you know what happened at the shoot today? I say such big things here, but I fumbled in front of the public. I could not deliver a single dialogue. Nothing. I forgot everything out of my nervousness & was standing like a zombie there. It was because of Mr. Bajaj that I got another chance. They called me at nine the next day, which is now 11 pm. I wanted to rehearse with someone. That's why I came to you. If you don't help me, who will help?

Anurag: Hey, Prerna. Why are you crying for a small thing? How would I know it was so important to you? I'll reread the dialogue.

He took the paper and said, "I will train you in such a way that you will confidently deliver the dialogues."

Anurag helped Prerna to rehearse the dialogues.

The next day, Prerna delivered the dialogues with confidence. Everyone clapped their hands.

Director: Fantastic! Excellent work.

Bajaj shows his thumbs up to Prerna.

Anurag is standing near the bus stop and waits for the bus. He asked the neighboring guy, "What's the time?"

The neighbor said, "5:30 pm."

Anurag waits for the bus, but the wrong bus comes, which frustrates Anurag.

Prerna came running to Anurag. The latter hears Prerna's voice and sees her ecstatic.

Prerna: Close your eyes.

Anurag closed his eyes.

Prerna took the check and said, "Open your eyes now."

Anurag opened his eyes and was happy to see the check.

Prerna: I got the heroine's role.

Anurag: Didn't I tell you that my training will work?

Prerna: Of course, the credit goes to you.

He carried Prerna in his arms. Both start dancing.

Anurag: We must go to Munna and give him the good news.

He went to Munna's house and said, "Stich, a nice suit for me as I will treat Prerna and propose to her. I want it within 4 hours."

Munna said, "It is a short time."

Anurag: Prerna became a heroine. So it's time for us to celebrate.

Munna: If that's the case, I will complete the stitching within four hours.

He went home and met Vidya and Rajesh.

Anurag: It's time for us to change the paints as your daughter became a heroine.

Rajesh + Vidya: That's great. We will renovate this house into a villa.

Anurag is about to go to Munna to pick up his clothes. Prerna came to Anurag in a white gown. Anurag saw that and was mesmerized by her beauty.

Prerna: How do I look?

Anurag: You look gorgeous.

Prerna: Oh, the car has come. We need to go to the party.

Prerna leaves.

Rajesh: For what are they giving the party?

Veena: Prerna's film with Rishab, named Mr. Bond, became a golden jubilee. So we are going to that spot. The directors have sent the vehicle.

Suddenly, Prerna comes. She said, "The production house sent the car. So we must be quick to catch up with them."

She got into the car & went to the party.

Anurag stood on the balcony and waited for Prerna to treat her in the homely but luxurious hotel.

Munna comes to Anurag & gives him the stitched clothes.

Prerna went to the party. She sees many boys & girls taking autographs from Bajaj.

A clerk met Prerna in a drunk & said, "The entire industry belongs to me. Rekha is Rekha because of me. I taught Sridevi to speak in Hindi & got Zanjheer film for Amitabh Bachchan."

Suddenly, the producer came & said, "I am the producer. How dare you impersonate me?"

He starts hitting the clerk.

Prerna & Bajaj went near the garden and laughed.

Prerna: He was lying so much as if he knew the celebrities from childhood.

Bajaj: Yes, you will find more weird people in this industry.

Prerna: But I've not come here to tell you my story. I love films. We get to see a big world in our daily lives. Everything is beautiful here, including music, dance, photography, and story. That's why I love films.

Bajaj: Who are there in your family?

Prerna: My father, mother & younger brother stay at my place. But he is hilarious. He is uninterested in films, but if a film song is coming on TV, he searches for me among the dancers. Who is staying at your place?

Bajaj doesn't reply. He said, "Let's make a move now."

Prerna leavs for the day.
