Ritika was sitting in hall at night reading magzine. She was turning pages when her eyes falls on an article of a random model. She read the topic- "A story of a small town girl which will inspire all of us". She got curious and started reading the article. The article state that how the model was ordinary and average looking and how she changed her lifestyle and became a successful. Ritika thought about navya. She runs into navya's room. Navya was working on her laptop. Ritika goes and sits besides her.
NAVYA- Kya hua?
Asked navya. Ritika smile at her
RITIKA- is temporary problem ka permanent solution mil gaya he mujhe
Navya looks confused and adjusted her specs.
RITIKA- di... Why don't you have your makeover??
NAVYA - Kya..??
Asked navya in a surprise. Ritika shows her the magzine.
RITIKA- read this. Is model ne dekho kaise khudko change kiya he. I think tum bhi karlo. Stylish kapde, hairstyle, beauty treatment.. sab..
NAVYA- aur usse Kya hoga?
Asked navya getting angry
NAVYA- me wo ban jau Jo me hu hi nahi? Fir isse koi ladka mujhe pasand Kar bhi le to isme achi bat Kya hogi.? Me chahti hu jaisi me hu waise mujhe koi accept Kare.
Said Navya and continued her work. Ritika looks at her in disbelief.
RITIKA- Tum Jo chahti ho woh sahi hai Dee par kabhi kabhi practically bhi Soch na padta hai.
Navya looks at her while Ritika tried to explain her.
RITIKA- It's a changed world di. Aaj kal Jab Pyar Hota Hai Toh sirf andar ki beauty se nahi balki Bahar ki beauty se bhi Hota Hai. And it is absolutely correct.
NAVYA- What is correct in this Ritika?
RITIKA- Tum Hi Batao Di.. Nahi chahti Tumhara life partner is Duniya ka sabse handsome ho?
Asked Ritika while Navya goes in thoughts. Ritika keeps the magazine near her and goes from there. Navya looks at the magazine and adjusted her specs. She tried to read the article but then looks elsewhere.
NAVYA- nonsense things... Aisa kabhi nahi hota
She tried to take her mind elsewhere and convince herself. She was not able to...

She look around herself to find number of females colleagues well and modern dressed. She then looks at herself
NAVYA- kya sach mein yahi reason hai mujhe baar baar rejection milne ka?
She asked herself, Took a deep breath. Ritika's words again surround her mind. She open the Google page of her PC and searched-" top beauticians in Mumbai". She open the first sight and started reading few of them. Suddenly her eyes falls on a photo. She looks confused. she read the name - Aparna Dixit.
NAVYA- aparna Dixit.. maine Kahi Dekha he inhe..
