Is this Aradhna?' a female voice on the line asked.
"Yes, it is", Aradhna replied.
"Well, I am Gul Khan and I am pleased to inform you that we received your graphics. You are immensely talented and I couldn't hold back from calling you myself. I have a job for you, the job is at Ishqbaaaz's visual effects department. (There was silence, Gul continued) You must be shocked, I know. Report at the 4 Lions office tomorrow morning, Aradhna."
Before Aradhna could show her excitement or thank her, the line was cut.

Aradhna walked into the office. Coincidentally, it was her birthday too that day. Aradhna was shown her desk and soon she was given her first task which was creating a new montage for Ishqbaaaz. But as soon as she was given photographs for editing, she realized that this birthday was not going to be a happy one!😕

"Where is Kunal's photo?!" Aradhna cried in shock scaring her colleague in the next booth. "Oh you don't know? Gul Khan replaced him with some other guy. People can't believe it and Gul is receiving so much hatred on social media. A girl even threatened to blow our set with a bomb. Quite a terrible situation."
Aradhna couldn't believe her ears. Could her birthday get worse than this? Only yesterday she wanted to hug Gul and now she was hating her. She was numb for some time thinking that now she would not be able to see her Kunal as Omkara Singh Oberoi in Ishqbaaaz. She had almost quit the job but then she decided to create one last edit - for Kunal's sake.
Aradhna made a montage with the new guy, who looked more fit to do some comedy show than to play Omkara and made another montage with Kunal.
"I wish I'd at least had a chance to get his autograph." Angrily, she submitted the work to her boss and was leaving the office when she saw Gul Khan entering the room asking for the new montage. "Where is it?!' She was literally screaming.
With trembling hands, her colleague submitted the montage and Gul was enraged. "Where is the new guy?!"
Aradhna looked down and realized she had submitted the wrong edits. Damn it! This is the comedy guy, she thought to herself. Well, it was already too late and the task was reassigned to someone else. Like I care, Aradhna thought and was about to leave the office when she received a call.

"Kunal Jai Singhhh...is that really you?" Aradhna exclaimed. 'Umm, yes it is me Kunal and I was informed that it's your birthday today.'
"Yes, it is my birthday. But who told you?' Aradhna asked.
"Well, some of your Bolly Curry friends came to me for an interview and I was told you are a huge fan. So I decided to wish you personally."
"Happy Birthday Aradhna!" shouted Kunal along with her Bolly Curry friends. She smiled as she walked out the building, wondering how what may have started off as a bad birthday, ended very beautifully with a wish from her favourite. 'All's well that ends well!' she said out loud as she drove away to celebrate her birthday with close friends and family.
