THE HUG
His thoughts
Its a funny co-incidence actually, we were to confess on stage and I am supposed to act like the character in the play but confess to her as if I'm the character in the serial..Confused? Well then imagine if I say I was about to confess to her as the real person , the actor who plays these roles in reel life, in between all this. Bad Idea. I thrashed it then and there. We had anyway shot the entire dialogues bit and I could easily act it out because she was standing looking beautiful in her pink lehenga and crying and smiling while saying those dialogues and I couldnt help but feel the love surface. She is so mesmerizing to watch..I tell you, what you see on TV is nothing like the spontaneity that she displays, I keep feeling she loves me. Sigh..there I go again !
Have to shoot the hug part now..

Is he that good an actor? I mean, ofcourse he is a good actor but those tears ..that smile and those expressions, I felt the love and it was easy to act. Good god, since when did I want co-stars expressions to spur me on to act better? Well...what can I say..you cant blame a woman for falling in love, can you? It just happened and I just wished it was all real. I think I should concentrate on hugging him now...ok not on hugging him but on the act...ok, so how am I supposed to concentrate when I'm hugging him..! Sometimes, I just love my job, you get to hug the guy you love but at other times I hate it, why am I hugging him when he doesnt even know how I feel.
Ok, concentrate on the shoot...
After the shoot
Her thoughts
I looked at him, he was standing there with open arms and a slight smile on his face and I tell you, my heart skipped many beats. I wanted to go and hug him then and there..but no, the script said (god-damn thing - the script) I had to walk back and then run into his arms...I walked a bit, then I stopped, I could hear them urging me to move some more from the sidelines, but I was not going to listen to them..I ran into his arms and he took me in his arms and god..let this be reel ..let this be real..let this be anything...all I can say is I have never felt such happiness in my entire life..I felt I could die right there and I would've died the happiest girl in the world..! I think we hugged each other for longer than necessary I was unwilling to let go, it seemed so was he ...hmmm..does that mean? ..ok perish the thought.
I got a lot of praise for my acting that day, I felt it undeserved cos I dint act, I just felt the emotions. I wonder how he felt?
His thoughts
My heart was beating really fast, the anticipation was getting to me, why was I acting like a love-struck teenager, dont ask me, love-struck I was, teenager I was not! Yet I was excited like a teenager, she turned around and came into my arms and I just held her, my girl..ok, not my girl ..but in my heart she was my girl..I held her with all the love I had for her. Ditch the camera, lights and the works, right now nothing on earth or heavens above could cause me to leave her, I was so content with her in my arms. Later, one of friends asked me if I was in love with her..when I asked him why he felt that, he simply said dude, you are no Tom Hanks, you are a good actor no doubt but you seemed to be positively thrilled having her in your arms, you looked like a lover..and that looked straight from the heart...
Sure it was, direct dil se..after it was the hug post the confession, only we never confessed!
