Sonam & Abhay - The New Age Thoroughbreds

They sit on red furry stools. No couch. Camera man shot her a few days ago says, she's big boned and there won't be room for three. She walks in looking sleeker and slimmer than most. A stick thin, chain smoking Parisian ramp model would feel pudgy. There would've been room for four. The camera man shrugs. Too late. The stools it is. She sits tall, suspended like a ballerina (a role she's been practising for). He slouches, fashionably. His long legs in tight faded jeans lazily sprawl out in front. His chappal-ed feet provide stark contrast to her patent leather brogues. Shoes so unfeminine that only a girly girl can wear. A black corseted jumpsuit completes her look.

They are different, without doubt and yet they fit. He the grungy face of independent Indian cinema. She the fashionista, who knows her labels inside out. How does this mismatch, match? Two words - respect and patience. Both flow in abundance between them. It's not an obvious friendship. But there is unmistakable ease and trust. Most likely cultivated out of a need to work well together. They are the new thoroughbred professionals. Success is fleeting. They've grown up understanding that. They instinctively know to last long, work ethic is paramount. Their families would expect nothing less of them.

"The hours". They lament in unison. Hardest part of being an actor in Bollywood. It's relentless and unregulated. Gone are the days an actor kept the unit waiting for hours or weeks. This fresh novel breed don't shy from the labour. They are hungry for it. They work hard and party harder. And they don't hide it. "We broke the ice over a crazy party..." One of them shrieks. The other adds "...twice... the first two times we met we partied together. From then it was like we knew each other..."

So they're both born with silver spoons in their mouths, but they are not scared to take it out and use it to get to that pudding. Watch them on the stools this Saturday 17th July at 7.30pm and Sunday at 12.30pm on Headlines Today. Sonam says it's Abhay's dimples that did it for her. It was their chemistry that did it for me.

Sonam & Abhay - The New Age Thoroughbreds

She talks without pause. Animated. Her age fuelling her enthusiasm. He interrupts. Gently. "You have something stuck in your teeth." She tries to get it out. Not a hint of discomfiture - again the confidence of youth. She turns to him, flashes her pearlies - "is it gone?" The moment is intimate but no trace of sexuality. He squints into her mouth - "no... there... no... little up... yup." Satisfied, she picks up where she left off. Giggly and animated. He looks on.
