The sets of Colors Flagship and Young Love story Beintehaa was focused; busy and chaotic with a cacophony of the collective sounds of people drowning director Maan Singh's voice as he was setting up our beloved ZAYA (acronym for Zain and Aliya).
The past few days had been problematic as the ensuing fight between the labour force and trade unions indirectly offered all the artists some blessing in disguise in the form of a week's holiday which is certainly a blessing when you are daily soap actor and work like maniacs 20 hours a day for 7 days a week
The shoot had resumed today and many canned scenes had to be shot as the channel needed fresh telecasts, fans too were Super excited to watch a new episodic of Beintehaa after a LONG wait.
The scene was in the Blue painted, love paradise of ZAYA Their beloved bedroom and literally their territory where the fight, make up, break up, make plans, romance and give the audiences a healthy dosage of what we call ZAYA scenes to go berserk over.
Harshad (Zain) is sitting on his bed in a red tshirt and dark blue track pants waiting for his costar/friend Preetika to come. The director explains him that the scene is where Zain is convincing Aliya to stay back in Barkat villa and ignore Suraiyya begum's piercing words about Aliya and her parents.
Though Aliya has immense amount of respect and reverence for Suraiyya , she has reached her point of saturation and cannot tolerate Suraiyya's hatred towards "bhopalis" anymore and asks her to leave the house
Aliya , though Deeply and truly loves her husband Zain, Loves her self-pride and respect in equal measure. She cannot forget How Suraiyya had unabashedly slandered and slaughtered her character infront of the entire family and accused her of having an extra marital affair with Zubair her childhood friend/cousin and today she had done it again but this time she crossed all the limits accusing her of being partners with Zubair in attempting to murder her beloved Mamu Osman Saab
Harshad had the script in his hand, learning his lines he asked Spot boy for Preetika "Madam baal set karke aa rahi hai" he replied as he served him his favourite cup of green tea
He sipped some warm green tea as he was memorizing his lines, but his mind was wandering elsewhere. His Heart was constantly battling with his mind and causing an emotional tumoil within him the heat caused by the constant friction reflected in his hot cup of green tea J
He had actually been sad when the channel informed him that all the artists would be getting a few days owing to the labour force strike. Ideally he should have been happy as a holiday is rare for actors as they work round the clock. Normally he would have planned a trip to his home in Delhi, spending some time with his family and friends but he denied his mother's invitation and quickly came up with a puerile excuse.
In the few days of his holiday he had actually missed Preetika immensely! Her Benign smile, her LadyLike demeanor, her laughing at his asinine jokes and sharing her coconut curry and rice with him. He had missed her, he really had J
In the few days of his "mini holiday" he mostly hung out with his onscreen mother Suchitra pillai occasionally hanging out with her and gunjan (Nafisa Bhabhi) over dinners and house parties. Suchi Mam is deeply fond of Harshad and has actually graduated from playinh his onscreen mother to his real life counselor/advisor/wellwisher/confidante and God mother.
She sensed the raging turmoil in his heart and was quick to realize that he nurtures some romantic feelings for Preeitka and playing onscreen lovers, he has actually fallen for her J she was elated thinking about it, for she knew Preetika is a wonderful person and they will make for a beautiful couple she discussed this with Gunjan who was happy to know her onscreen brother inlaw has developed feelings for his reel wife for real and they secretly planned to pitch them together. Harshad being blissfully unaware of his "mom's" plans J
He had NEVER been in love, except for Fancy cars and exciting Video Games which every guy is :P he had never been in love. He was not the Casanova kind of a guy, inspite of being blessed with Drop dead Gorgeous Looks, sharp features, a tall stature, a sexy and husky baritone and a charming Smile to complete his "Greek God Looks" status. Women had unabashedly flirted with him, hit on him and some even proposed Marriage and he politely refuted all advances made towards him
"I need my kind of a Girl" he had always thought and funnily he himself had no clue of his "type" till he met Preetika when they had jointly auditioned for Beintehaa.
He fondly remembered seeing her for the first time, A fairly tall girl with Brownish hair cascading over her delicate frame and a pleasant smile to complete it J she looked no less than a Barbie doll in her orange coloured top and Loose maroon colored harem pants with just a hash of rose coloured tint on her creamy skin J she looked Cute and Beautiful J
He liked her and her good nature and intelligent self-complimented her exterior beauty J he smiled to himself as he fondly recollected her when his train of thoughts broke off by a sudden interruption, it was director Maan "Zain Zain" he called out in quick succession and Harshad got up on his toes, the director needed to change the camera settings and so he had to vacate his spot.
Preetika arrived in the next 20 Minutes profusely apologizing everyone for being late "The blow dryer had stopped working" she cited and quickly grabbed her script to rehearse her lines. Harshad pretended as if he dint see her coming but he checked her from the corner of his eye. She wore a long sea blue colored Anarkali with some exquisite embroidery on the borders and a white colored dupatta perfectly accessoring her look. Her Hair, a shade of chocolate brown caressing her porcelain skin delicately, the liner highlighted her doe eyes as she struggled to memorize her lines. They have a certain undefinable sparkle to them. Alluring and sensual, with a touch of mischief. He found himself smiling again
"Don't harshad" He rebuked himself, their love nest was ready, and they occupied their positions ready to shoot.
"Zain main tumse bohot Pyaar karti hu par kabhi kabhi sirf beintehaa mohabbat kaafi nahi hoti kisi Rishte ko mukkamal karne ke liye aur main kitni bhi koshish karlu mami mujhse aura ammi-abbu se hamesha nafrat karti hai. Pehle unhe mujhpe aur Zubbu pe shak hua ki hamara koi affair hai aaj uhone mujh par mamu ko maarne ki koshish karne ka ilzaam lagaya hai. Tume bataou main kaise bardasht karoon. Main yahan nahi reh sakti, mera yahn se chale jana hi behtar hoga" Aliya said as she looked at Zain her eyes welled up with tears threatening to flow after a pregnant pause she held his face in her palms are touched her forehead with his, their lips inches away and breathing into each other she continued "Maine sirf tumse Pyaar kiya hai aur kisi se nahi aur naa hi main kabhi kisi aur se karu paungi, tum meri ibaadat ho mera jahaan" she said as tears streamed down her eyes mildy washing away some kajal off her eyes.
A Sudden sensation surged through his body as if someone slapped him hard on his face, he felt something different, something strange, his knees went jelly and his heart was pounding against his ribs the oscillations of which could be heard inches away too.
He backed a bit and looked deep into her eyes again and said "I LOVE YOU" and after a moment "Aliya". He gently took her tiny palms into his his hand and kissed it and went down on his knees and said
"Aliya maine bhi sirf aur sirf tumse pyaar kiya hai, sacchhi mohabbat. Tumse hi din hai aur raatein subah aur sham tumse hi toh Zain hai varna mera koi Vajood nahi hai, tumhare bina mere koi mayne nahi main tumhare bina nahi jee sakta" he spoke and halted to realize he too has been crying as if competing with her tears J they hugged each other as if they would never let each other go "Mat jao Aliya Yahan Accha lag raha hai" he mildly pleaded as his chin rested on her shoulders "Isliye jaana padega" She whispered in his ears and they Hugged tighter and the scene was cut!
"Brilliant! Superb! Awesome!" The director used up all the possible adjectives from his word bank :p "this is fantastic and audiences will love it <3" he declared and the shoot halted for a break.
Suchi Mam was standing behind the camera watching the scene, she made a quick eye contact with gunjan who gave a "I Know what you are talking about" kind of a smile back J They knew it was Not Zain speaking But Harshad professing of his feelings for Preetika J Preetika got up to have some snacks "Harshad lets go" she asked him to join her, he sat there motionless with tears flowing down his cheeks continually. She was quick to realize something was wrong "are u okay?" she asked in a concerned voice putting her hand on his shoulder "Ya Iam Good" he hastily replied without making any eye contact with her. He wiped his tears and scolded himself saying that she was his co actor and friend and nothing more and he needs to focus on his work and put a full stop to these irrelevant feelings. He perhaps feared losing her friendship if he crossed the limit!
He realized he needs to keep away from her he decided to ignore her!!
