Pryanka was super-duper excited today. She had gotten the golden opportunity to choreograph Deepika Padukone's performance at the Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony. Her smile was unshakeable today! Why wouldn't she be so happy, afterall Deepika is her favorite actress- always has been. Also, she'll be meeting her on the day of her birthday. How cool is that? I know, your jealous.
At sharp 10 a.m. Pryanka left her house for the rehearsal hall. She did not want to be late at any cost. She was excited and nervous at the same time. She waited for Deepika's arrival for quite some time, but she didn't show up, she decided to get some coffee from outside as she was feeling drowsy because she did not sleep last night. How could she though- she was too busy jumping around in joy, informing her friends about this occasion whilst doing the most important job of all- selecting her outfit.
She made her way outside the hall and bought coffee from a nearby restaurant. As she was about to enter the rehearsal hall, she bumped into a lady and boom!
Her coffee fell from her hand and spilled on the floor. Pryanka was ready to scold that lady as she didn't want to fall asleep right before Deepika shows up for rehearsal, but as soon as she saw the lady she was left speechless. All her sleep disappeared with a flick of a moment.
It was her. It was ACTUALLY her.
Deepika Padukone.
The queen of Bollywood, her idol and her favourite actress ever.
She could just faint there or start fan-girling but she remained rooted to her spot. Star Struck and completely speechless. Deepika smiled at her warmly and she politely said sorry.
Seeing her give no response, Deepika held her shoulder and softly jerked her. Pryanka snapped out of her trance and mentally said,
"Oh my gosh! I'm not dreaming! She is actually in front of me!"
"Are you ok?"
Deepika asked her as she still didn't respond.
"Pryanka be mature. Don't act stupid! Please God! Don't let me goof up today at least."
Pryanka smiled at her and calmly said she was fine even though she wanted to jump on Deepika, hug her and take 100s of selfies just to make her friends jealous.
She finally introduced herself.
"Hi! I'm Pryanka, your choreographer."
She finished her sentence with a smile on her face.
"Oh. Hey! Nice to meet you"
Deepika then extented her hand for a formal hand shake and Pryanka happily shook her hand with hers. She'd never wash that hand of hers.
They both walked inside the hall and Pryanka calmed herself down for the nth time. Finally, Pryanka showed her a few steps and Deepika followed her carefully. Soon, rest of the group turned up. A few background dancers were her good friends so the moment they entered they saw Pryanka standing in corner and kept on looking at Deepika's progress. They hugged her and softly whispered
"Happy Birthday, yaar!"
Pryanka smiled and thought,
"Huh! Why on earth would they say it so slowly. Deepika didn't even hear it, probably. Oh dear! Now how on earth will she know about it. I just can't go up to her and be like "hey please wish me and take a selfie with me because it's my birthday and I want to take a selfie with you! I love you so much as I'm your biggest fan ever!""
Pryanka chuckled at her own childish thoughts. She's really acting like a kid right now. She noticed that Deepika was quite tired so she announced a break for an hour. In no timePryanka's sleep flew back in and she could hardly keep her eyes open. Thus she decided to take a nap for half an hour. May be that might help her. She set an alarm on her phone and drifted of to sleep on the recliner. Being star struck took the energy out of her really.
