LonelyGlider - Guess what guys? Pearl Grey ma'am's given Kunalians permission to shoot The Ramayana with him... To kickstart his b'day celebrations.
Lekz - You kidding, right?
KunalkiAC - It's true. Follow me.
ALL KUNALIANS FOLLOW HER TO THE SETS.
Adinash - Can I be Hanu?
Jaytapori - How can a piddi be Hanuman?
Adinash - Oye, mai piddi nahin hoon. Mai ab high school mein hoon.
Angelala - But you still don't have fb (sticks out her tongue at him).
Adi (starts crying) - Mere paas fb nahin hai, twitter nahin hai, instagram nahin hai... 😭
Sakhisangni - par tere paas (pauses, then in an emotional Shashi Kapoor voice) IF ka DAK forum hai.
Nitakhandekar - SHAANTATAA. Let the director speak.
Monusumi (DIR) - Bad news. I've had to cast Kunal as Ravan.
A loud cheer goes up from the Kunalians.
Monusumi (frowns) - You guys are happy he's a villain? 😲
Bimadhuri - Dude, we get to see ten of him in a single frame. Of course we're happy.
Monusumi - What's with this poster Beli? All ten heads of Ravan have a different expression!
IvyBelicia - Just proves - Kunal's the king of expressions 😉
Sunna_Deewani - what's my role? what's my role?
Monusumi - you are... (shuffles through some papers)... Surpanakha.
Sunna_Deewani - Surpanakha? You mean Ravan... aka Kunal's sister? Haiyo Rabba, yey sunne se pehle meri naak kyun nahin kat gai?
Swetha - Don't worry, agle scene mein kat jayegi 😛
Naina (dressed as Laxman and holding a bow and arrow) - I can make a quick buck if I sell these on ebay. What say bro?
SharmilaGupta (dressed as Rama) - I guess. But these khadaun are so uncomfortable. Can't I wear my Jimmy Choo shoes?
Nitakhandekar - SHAANTATAA.
Monusumi (DIR) - So this is the climax - where Rama kills Ravan. When I say action, all the monkeys have to rush at Ravan with their bows and arrows. Clear?
KUNAL ENTERS THE SETS, DRESSED AS RAVAN.
Debapriya - Bah! Ki mishti Ravan.
Monusumi - ACTION!
All Kunalians dressed as monkeys, charge towards him with pen and paper.
Monkey Kunalians - Autograph please.
(Mujhe mere fans se bachao, mujhe mere pankhon se bachao, plays in the background).
Monusumi (smacks her forehead) - CUT! CUT!! CUT!!! ... Pack up for lunch.
LUNCHBREAK OVER. SHOOTING OF THE SITA ABDUCTION SCENE IS IN PROGRESS.
Monusumi - Sona, you're Sita...
Sona - Really? Kunal's going to kidnap me? Tee hee 😳
MISTY, YAMI AND MAHEK COME RUNNING TO THE SETS.
Yami - Please give us a role as well.
Misty - We'll do anything. We can be the dancing girls in Ravan's court.
Mahek - Or help Ravan kidnap Sita.
Sona - Ravan and I don't need any kabab mein haddis, ok?
Nitakahndekar - SHAANTATAA!
Monusumi - Annnddd ACTION!
Sona bats her eyelashes coquettishly at Kunal, then sashays out of the Laxman rekha.
Kunal (grabs Sita's arm, then stares at it) - Chittiyaan kalaiyaan ve, o baby teri white kalaiyaan...
Sona - (her white kalaiyaan turn red as she blushes) ☺️ - Jaane do na, paas aao na... choo o na, choo o na...
Monusumi - CUT! CUT!! CUT!!! I give up 😔 Pack up guys.
HansaTapori (casting director) - Hope all of you enjoyed the shooting. Those who didn't get a role, lemme me know which character you want to play and I will cast you.
And here's wishing Kunal as mad, insane and eccentric a birthday as all his crazy fans. Keep rocking, keep knocking our socks off with your scintillating performance and keep singing chittiyaan kalaiyaan ve... 😃
Keep smiling friends. Keep ROFling. Life is beautiful :)
