Hiding Behind a Stranger.

Presentation of Awards for the Chapter 35

A panel of judges headed by the veteran critic Karkuzhali has announced the following awards to the recently released chapter 35 of HBAS, produced by Lashy.

Best Performance Actor: Akbarkhan

His confession to Heera about Kakasa's laddoos. What a brilliant performance! Note Akbar calling her by her name!

'Maharaj Sahib... bless him... makes these laddus very well...

'But what I ate today... could not match the quality of the eleven laddus I received in that embroidered silk pouch, Heera'

'Every single one of them was carefully hand-picked... all of them the exact size... garnished with similar nuts and raisins... you think I wouldn't notice?'

'Your anger is justified, Begum Sahiba... I gave them away to achieve my means... that was incredibly self-indulgent of me...' he huskily whispered over her shoulder 'but where I truly became selfish was with the final sweet... Vaid Sahib is mistaken... I did save one... the best one... kept it for when I was hungriest to relish it most... ate it by myself when no one was watching... took my time... didn't share it... didn't even tell Azeez about it, though he had been travelling all along with me... I'm never selfish with food, but this one instance was an exception... that last one was mine and mine alone to enjoy - every... last... crumb... of... it!'

The next moment, he was casually walking past, overtaking her on the stairs - as if this intriguing affair and his hush whispers was a figment of her imagination.

Best Performance Actress: Heera.

How she rises up to the occasion by corroborating his unadulterated lie..

'Yes the explorer did say such a thing...' she broke her spell of silence with a lie and a diplomatic smile 'but just to be clear... that we are talking of the same site, Mansabdar Sahib... perhaps, it's better we take a look at the place together... and show them the site' she turned to him for approval - with the same flair he was using 'am I right?'

Best actor in the role of Comic Villain: Vaidkakasa

As the chapter doesn't have a villain and a comedian separately, the award goes to

the vaidkakasa in the category of comic villain .Though he appears in only one scene, his presence has created an impact in the minds of our protagonists .

'But Chacha Sahib... I have great self-control too! Only that when it comes to THIS particular sweet... I find it difficult to hold back...' The old healer shook his head with joyful regret 'thankfully, because of my Heera bitiya... I got to taste them a month ago too!'

'The travellers you'd sent to us, bitiya... THEY had these laddus with them!'

'Hmmm... they were traditional Rajputs... both of them... the way they walked, talked, ate and dressed reminded me of my youth... one of them was tall and well-built... his name... errr... Samarth banna, I think... Singh... Samarth Singh' suddenly, for whatever reason, his old eyes stopped upon the Mansabdar's face.

Best Actor in a Supporting Role: Chachajaan

He is always seen with the main lead and he plays a crucial role here to divert the vaid from the scene , seeing the situation getting worse..

But Vaid kaka was much too high on the intoxicating effects of the delicacy to notice 'The travellers you'd sent to us, bitiya... THEY had these laddus with them!'

All of a sudden, Chacha jaan slipped a friendly hand around the man's shoulders, to try and lead him away with chummy banter.

Best actor in a Cameo role: The wood worker.

Though he appears in only one scene and not likely to appear in future. credit should be given to his acting, which has prompted our heroine uphold the honour of the hero.

'Tell me...' he made little effort to hide the waning enthusiasm in his tone 'what sort of cabinet do you need?'

Ratan kaka scratched his grey hairline trying to recall the specific instructions he'd received 'Khan Sahib mentioned that he needed a cabinet with five or six shelves... and with doors that could be locked...'

'Oh...' a disinterested sigh slipped out of his mouth 'I'll make one... of Sheesham...' he turned around, and began walking out, just like that. Neither was he going to waste precious time taking careful measurements, nor use up expensive wood to make a cupboard that was meant to decorate a Mughal man's room. Sheesham would do!

'I cannot make promises, baisa...' his eyes elusively crossed paths with the heiress', before shifting back to the entrance 'it's a huge cupboard... I might not be able to obtain such large amounts of rosewood or mahogany'

'Embarrass? Hukum Jagat Prasad Singh's daughter? No... no... no... I wouldn't even dream of letting such a thing happen!' he swiftly flipped open his measuring rope with gusto 'I will try and find good quality rosewood for this cabinet... like I'd promised you... we will, wouldn't we boys?'

Best Cinematography:

The best outdoor shots speak through the camera eye the hero's concern to preserve Parnagah and its natural riches..

'Paradise...'

This particular terraced balcony jutting out from the rear wall of the Haveli, offered the most panoramic views of this hilly town.

It was obvious why the people of this sleepy town were so proud of this slice of Heaven on Earth.

Best make - up artiste: The Sunrays.

Her skin flushed pink with amusement - matching the colour of the floral herbs in her hand.

Perhaps it was because she'd spent the past two hours in the sun, gathering materials from the herbarium for the ointments she was mean to prepare. Or perhaps because it was the first time in a long while that she was facing her people without putting up a 'facade' of positivity.

Either way, the effects showed up on her cheeks...

Best Dialogue:

1. 'Ratan kakasa...' Heera shifted her attention to the manager 'banna here... is one of the best wood-workers in all of Rajputana... but, in this instance... unfortunately, we'd have to search for someone else...'

...

2. 'But what I ate today... could not match the quality of the eleven laddus I received in that embroidered silk pouch, Heera'

...

3. ate it by myself when no one was watching... took my time... didn't share it... didn't even tell Azeez about it, though he had been travelling all along with me... I'm never selfish with food, but this one instance was an exception... that last one was mine and mine alone to enjoy - every... last... crumb... of... it!'

Best Director: Akbarkhan

The scene where Akbar convinces the mine merchants ...The tact with which he planned the safeguard of Parnagah and its people and how he executed it speaks a lot about his directorial skill...

'As I've already explained...' Akbar's pitch was steady, giving out the vibes that he wasn't too amused by the quip 'since moving to Parnagarh, I've started dealing with the highest calibre of racehorses... and they demand such luxuries... besides, these beasts have always been the personal favourites of our Huzoor himself... so...' he smirked 'don't you think our Shehzaade deserves this calibre of racehorses?'

'What! Of... of... of c...course he does!'

'In fact, it IS with the blessings of our Shehzaade that my business flourishes here... Akbar paused. 'then how could you suggest that I cut down on the quality I provide him with?'

'Ya Allah!' the merchant desperately tried to cover up his stupid remarks with a sheepish beam 'All I meant was... if your stables were not in the way, we could've gotten further iron for the prince! That would've made him happy...'

'You mean it would make YOU very happy!'

Having diverted suspicion by pinning blame back on him, he toyed with the nervous old man for a while, before caving in with a seemingly-friendly grin.
