PART 1
He walked into the dressing room, his driver carrying his duffle bag behind me.
"Ramu, leave the bag there and you go home. I'll call you later to pick me up" He said speaking to the driver.
"Fine Rajat'ji, but don't forget to have lunch" Ramu said walking away to the car. Rajat sighed and sat down on his makeup chair, patiently waiting for the make-up artists to transform Rajat Tokas into Shahensha Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar. Once the extensive makeup was done he changed from his sweats into his royal jamma set, and slipping into his mojri's he walked out onto the sets.
As he walked on the sets he glanced around. Lavina was busy clicking a selfie on her iPhone, Manisha and Ashwini were both sitting and talking wholeheartedly about something, Chetan was on the phone (talking to his wife as usual). Then he saw her walk onto the sets, Paridhi. The moment she walked in Lavina ran towards her and the duo started clicking selfies enthusiastically. He rolled his eyes at their stupidity.
"If you are done with your extensive modelling, can we make a start on the scene Paridhi" He taunted walking towards her.
"Rajat, be nice to her" Chided Lavina, elbowing him softly. Lavina had noted that Rajat was in fact a very nice person however he somehow could never be nice to Paridhi. She had wondered many a times why the two could not just blend.
"That's ok Lavina, some people just don't know the meaning of nice" Replied Paridhi, glaring at him. He smirked at her answer and she glared harder at him. Neither one flinched until the director called there attention.
"Ok, Rajat, Paridhi, today we will be filming an intensive scene. Rajat you will be demanding what Jodha is hiding from you and who she met with at night. I want you to be furious but at the same time have the hurt reflecting in your eyes. And Paridhi I want you to be hurt that he doesn't trust you, although I don't want you to speak in the scene, reflect all your emotions through your eyes. Understood?" Asked Santram looking at his leads. They both nodded in unison and began preparing for the scene.

"And action" Called the director, half an hour later.
He strode towards her and grasped her in his hold and held her tight. The glycerine in her eyes flooded down her cheeks and she gasped. "Why? Why did you do this Jodha Begum? Why? I trusted you, I believed you, but what did you do in turn? You broke my heart, my trust. Tell me! Tell me who is the man that you are meeting behind my back. Tell me!" He roared, as she flinched at the magnitude of his voice and turned her face away, tears pooling down her face.
"Cut!" Said Santram. "Wonderful, wonderful you two! Ok now take five and we'll continue this scene later" He said smiled at his lead pair.
Rajat released her and she took a shaky step backwards, she hated to admit it but this man scared her, sometimes it felt as though he wasn't acting at all. He smirked as she massaged her arms with her fingers, where her skin had gone red due to his hold on her.
"Ouch! Couldn't you pretend to hold me hard? You do realise we are acting here" She grumbled at him.
"Hey, its not my fault that your skin get bruised at the slightest touch, I wasn't holding you that hard!" He protested.
"My skin is perfectly normal thank-you! It's you that doesn't know the difference between acting a shot and actually doing it in real life" She growled and huffily strode off, her yellow dupatta trailing behind her. He exhaled sharply, pinching his fingers to the bridge of his nose, what was it with this woman? Why could she get to him when no one else could?
He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see Chetan smiling at him.
"Let it go Rajat, she is actually a sweet girl" He said.
"Sweet? You call that sweet? Man you need glasses!" Rajat exclaimed.
"You know sometimes I think that you two would actually make a good pair together" Chuckled Chetan.
"What?" Asked a flabbergasted Rajat.
"Well... you know she's the complete opposite to you...and well you know the saying... opposites attract" Said Chetan slyly and after patting Rajat on the shoulder walked away. Rajat shook his head in disbelief. You've gone mad Chetan, there is no way Paridhi and me could possibly ever get along let alone anything else, He thought in disbelief.
But Rajat didn't know that the fates were changing and that destiny had locked his and Paridhi's lives together.
