EPISODE 13:
Next day morning. Shooting Day 1
Rajeev wakes up with a terrible mood. He remembered everything that happened last night….Galaxy jwellers……the attack……Prachi's ring stolen and his embarrassing encounter with Priyanka. It was a bad bad day, he thought with a sour heart! He hadn't progressed anywhere in Prachi's case, even lost the ring and all the more, there are dangerous people involved in Prachi's case which scared him all the more………Why were they after Galaxy jwellers? Why did they want the ring? The records said nothing, fir us ring mein aisi kya khas baat hai? yeh kaun log hai?
He became increasingly worried about Prachi. It was no longer safe to leave her when he's off for shooting. He was sure yahan se hi koi uske upar nazar rakh raha hai….no it's not Priyanka….the moment he remembered her name he felt terribly embarrassed! It was so rude on his part, aur fir bag search karna……….chhi chhi…….Rajeev felt like sinking in the ground with shame and remorse………the more he thought about it, the worse he felt….he needed to apologise but how would he explain himself!!! Nothing was going right around him! What can he do now? He felt like shouting out loudly……….
He reached the sets with a heavy heart. He decided to carry Prachi to the sets, jab tak koi baby sitter nehi mil jata Prachi ko sath mein lana hi padega, he hoped Aaliya understood his situation.Aaliya was busy setting up the set, Priyanka and Vikas stood in one corner, he cast a glance at Priyanka, Priyanka looked at him and turned her face away……… he walks up to Aaliya
Rajeev: Aaliya aaj Prachi ko set pe lana pada, hope it is not a problem
Aaliya looks at Rajeev for 10 seconds and smiles: Rajeev tumhe kya lagta hai main sach mein Hitler hoon!!
Rajeev: nehi actually…
Aaliya keeps her hand on Rajeev's hands assuringly and smiles: it's perfectly okay Rajeev, I never doubt your dedication, Prachi can stay in the sets
Rajeev feels relieved: Thanks Aaliya, you are really an angel
Aaliya: come on tum decide karlo ki tum mujhe apne dost mante ho ya nahi…agar haan toh yeh sab thank you wank you chhodo…
Aaliya pats Rajeev's back lovingly, Rajeev smiles back
In another corner
Vikas: arrey wah dekh dekh Rajeev aur Aaliya ko dekh
Harshad: haan yaar they look nice together
Arjun: chhod Rajeev ka already ek girl friend hai….kya naam hai uska
Kunal: arrey nehi woh toh sirf unka achhi dost hai
Vikas: not bad, wahan pe ek aur yahan pe ek
Kunal: come on he's not like that
Vikas: yeh lo yeh aur ek hai Rajeev's fan…Priyanka tu kuchh nehi bol rahi hai
Priyanka: shot ready hai, chale?
Vikas: girlfriends ko gussa kyon ata hai
Priyanka: kya?
Vikas: chal shooting ke baad tera mood achha karta hoon, chal ab
Aaliya: alright guys, jaise aap sab ko pata hai, the script is quite similar to the serial's script, we are going to include the main scenes on a cinematic scale, okay so we will start with the first scene : cadets and Rajveer's entry, sirf ek change hai, Priyanka and Rajeev enter together and clash with each other, the rest is same….okay everybody ready?
Lights! Camera! action! The scenes are shot well, only in a more dramatic way….Pooja is shown hiding her mangalsutra inside her shirt, she is a married woman! One of the KMA cadets teases Ali's sisters and he takes off his shirt and fights with him! Aalekh is shown with a bearded face, a quadi fresh out of jail, only Huda's entry will be kept unchanged but shot later, Aparna Tilak will reach the set today.
All right, good job guys, now Rajveer and Naina's entry, Rajeev and Priyanka you will start entering separately, each with a separate voice over and you come and clash with each other, you pull her up, look into her eyes, she looks into yours, you say sorry…then she leaves in a hurry aur tum uski scraf jo gir jata hai woh utha lete ho….all right?
Okay lights! Camera! Action!
Naina is shown entering with a very strict face, she is shown carrying a bottle which contains ashes, the voiceover speaking about her brother, "badle ki aag mein jalti hui Naina, jab tak apni bhai ke katilon ko saza na de woh asthiya nehi bahayegi…." The camera zooms on Rajeev simultaneously; he is entering the gates of KMA like Shahrukh Khan in KKHH only in a raincoat instead of an overcoat…..Cut! cut! Cut!
Aaliya shouts. Rajeev's raincoat was not flying like Sharukh's!
Fans faster, lights, camera, action…camera rolling 1…2…3
Retake: Rajeev runs inside the gates of KMA in a black raincoat, a briefcase in hand, his raincoat flying…Perfect shot!
He enters the building and clashes with Naina near the stairs.
They both look at each other……Cut! Cut! Cut!
Aaliya shouts again: Priyanka tumhare expression amazement ka hona chahiye, not of anger, you are looking so angrily at Rajeev aur Rajeev tum bhi, yeh kya expression hai!?? you are looking so guiltily at Priyanka, as if koi gunah kiye ho, arrey abhi toh Naina ko pata bhi nehi tum uske bhai ka katil ho!!
Take23! Lights! Camera! Action!
They clash, Rajeev picks her up holding her arms,…this time the expressions are more or less okay… they look at each other….one sec, 2 sec, 3 sec, 4, sec, 5 sec Priyanka looks away…Rajeev keeps looking, " sorry," "really sorry".. he doesn't release Priyanka… 6 sec, 10 secs, 15 secs, 20 secs………CUT! CUT!
Aalya: arrey 5 secs is enough, u don't have to look at her for so long! Look for 5 secs and move on, and say just one sorry…Rajeev pick up her scarf…simple sa to shot hai….okay Retake
The shot is okayed in the next retake.
Aaliya: Alright guys, good job, okay lunch break.
Vikas: tu kya khayegi lunch pe?
Priyanka: mujhe zyada bhukh nehi hai, ek juice bol de mere liye bas…main van mein ja rahi hoon
Priyanka apni van mein chali jati hai, she is resting in her van when she hears a knock
Rajeev: sorry for disturbing Priyanka, can I talk to you for a moment
Priyanka: I am really tired Rajeev
Rajeev : I know, but I just wanted to apologise for last night
Priyanka: I don't want to talk about it
Rajeev: I am sorry Priyanka….mujhe sach mein tum par sak nehi karna chahiye tha, par tumne dekha na kya hua mere saath, something is wrong….
Priyanka: sak toh abhi bhi aap mere upar kar sakte hai! mere bag mein whisper hona yeh toh prove nehi karta ki main aap ka peechha nehi kar rahi thi (Priyanka angrily turns away from him)
Rajeev: please Priyanka…listen to me (woh Priyanka ko apne taraf ghuma leta hai)
Tabhi Vikas enters Priyanka's van. He is stunned to see Rajeev and Priyanka so close to each other face to face
Vikas: aap yahan? (Vikas looks a little irritated)
Rajeev: woh… main Priyanka se kuchh discuss kar raha tha…anyway you guys carry on. He walks out
Vikas: (frowning) kya kar raha tha woh yahan
Priyanka: kuchh nehi
Vikas: tu kuchh chhupa rahi hai
Priyanka: please Vikas, will somebody please leave me alone!
Vikas: achha baba, chal khana kha le
Priyanka: mujhe bhukh nehi hai, tu kha le
Priyanka didn't know why she felt so bad…it was not so much because the contents of her bag was revealed in front of Rajeev…it was something more than embarrassment……it was a feeling of hurt that stuck to her throat…how could he suspect her! Is this the respect he has for her?!!! He took her for a petty spy!
Udhar Rajeev walks out with a heavy heart too…he thought he will apologise properly to Priyanka and tell her everything….but now he felt a little hurt too…..Priyanka ne khud dekha kaise humla hua uske upar, fir bhi woh situation ko samajhna nehi chahti? Kuchh sunna hi nahi chahti! Itna ego? Itni nasamajh? What can he do to explain his action…….the feeling of remorse overtook him once again, he felt horribly low.
