Frankly, I never thought I'd get a response as amazing as this! I am truly over-whelmed by the way you guys have received this SS of mine. A few things before continuing, lemme ask you something.
The Color-Code: Are you guys okay with the color coding of dialogues or you want the updates to simple and plain.
The SS: I heard from many out here that it should be converted to an FF. Well, honestly I wanna keep this as an SS only for now. FF becomes way to monotonous and even I get bored writing. Secondly, the way I've planned the development of this story, it will be concluded in less than 25 parts or so unless I change my mind at some later point in life.
Suggestion: I really wanted to know if you guys wanted to see some song sequences between Rishabh and Superstar Madhubala?
Please do let me know of your opinions about all the mentioned things above.
For PMs, please add Unknownrockstar in your buddy lists. I'll surely trouble you with a PM.
I've replied to ALL your comments from Page 20 onwards just in case if you had a query, you can go through the replies!đł

PART 3
JUST IN CASE YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME?
Superstar Madhubala...was a beauty...her porcelain skin was complemented by naturally pink cheeks and her eyes...they were BIG brown eyes...complemented by natural kohl. Every portion of her face was beautifully carved by God and was the perfect living example of the figure described as God's Angels in ancient scriptures. Her voice...melodious...her smile...heavenly...her giggle...divine... She slept cuddled in her own self on the sofa-bed. She was indeed an angelic figure.
The sun opened its eyes to the world...it was morning. It yawned and opened the windows of its cloud-abode...there was sunshine all over the place. Radha had already woken up from bed and was cleaning the room...apparently which they called their house. Soon, she went to do the utensils while Rishabh helped her up with sweeping the floor. Superstar Madhubala was still asleep. Rishabh looked at her and sighed "Now to think she really is some superstar...Ahaan!"... Radha was puzzled at her son's indifference towards the film industry. She whispered to him...careful not to wake that sleeping beauty up. "Rishu, it's high time you should start getting yourself involved in the world. It's great that you are studying hard...but there's something called 'leisure time'...The girl you've just brought in last night...is THE SUPERSTAR Madhubala...she rules the Page 3! And you can definitely see why...!" she smiled and gazed at Madhubala. Rishabh was utterly confused. He was always miles away from this business called 'girls'.
Radha rolled her eyes seeing her son's reaction and went and shouldered him. "Don't you think she's beautiful?" Rishabh gave varied expressions... the most evident of them was "What-are-you-exactly-trying-to-do" look. Finally, giving in to his mom, he looked at her for the first time.
She still slept on the sofa...there was an unusual smile on her face. One streak of hair was irritating her eyes... Rishabh stood numb. What was he doing? He was eyeing a girl... "Maa...you're making me eye a girl! Please...umm..." Radha took a huge breath in frustration and hit her head with her head. "Rishu, main tera kya karu?" She chuckled to herself...pulled his cheeks...took her pooja ki thali...and proceeded to the nearby temple. Rishabh was still utterly confused. His mind failed to register the fact that he was ACTUALLY watching a girl.
All of a sudden, Madhubala twitched in her sleep...her forehead grew tense...sweat beads appeared on her forehead. She started getting restless on the sofa. Something was troubling her definitely... Rishabh stood there confused. He didn't know how to react...what to do...he did what his heart instructed him to. Sub-consciously, he made a quick move and neared the sleeping Madhubala. Carefully...he wiped the sweat off her face by his handkerchief...and removed the hair that was teasing her...Madhubala's eyes flew wide open at that touch. Rishabh jumped back and fell on the floor at the sudden arousal of the superstar.
Madhubala was raging...in anger...and frustration...that alien guy was trying to touch her...not that she ever minded any guy touching her...but she didn't knew why she didn't like him touching her...that alien guy had taken trouble with her...she thought...and instantly spat out...
"Woah...you moron...you desperate jerk! What do you think...ek ladki so rahi hai...aur tum jo chahe woh kar loge...dekho Mr..." Rishabh was shocked at her reaction. He muttered, "Rishabh Kundra" Madhubala blew air out of her mouth to remove the strands of hair hiding her eyes. "...whatever you're okay! I don't give a damn to it! I don't care if you're some filthy Kundra's filthy son..." that was it...Rishabh got up and pulled her up with her shoulders...
"listen...Ms Superstar...well I have no idea tum kahaan ki superstar ho...you don't even look like one...but don't even dare to talk about my father like that...seems like your mom hasn't taught manners to this beautiful superstar..." Rishabh had touched the bleeding nerve of Madhubala...a tear formed in her eyes which she quickly dried away...and tried to remain strong... "Mr Kundra...don't you dare touch me again..." Rishabh realized that he'd gone too far...he released her at once... Madhubala was baffled. She yelled again, "You think that since I've been left by Avi, you seem to have some chance with me...?" Rishabh was baffled. What the hell was this girl trying to mean...since he was always taught to maintain his dignity while handling women, he stayed mum. "Gosh...you think your 'i-am-so-innocent' face will make me change my opinion about you...I wonder why you were so desperate..."
Rishabh had his quota of drama, he turned away from the bratty Superstar and muttered, "Neither am I desperate...nor do I want you to change my opinion about me! It was a pleasure meeting you, I am sure you must be waiting to leave this place now, since it belongs to a jerk and his mother" Madhubala's mouth gaped. Was this guy made of some stone? She stood up after picking up her sandals. "I wish you always keep juggling your head under these books...hmmmph..." Before she left, Rishabh extended her hand, "Do you mind signing an autograph for me?" he smiled looking at her warmly. Madhubala was utterly bewildered. She stomped her feet on his foot which made him twitch his eye-brows in pain and left the house.
Radha was standing out and trying to eavesdrop when she saw Madhubala coming out of her house all set to declare World War III. She stopped her with a voice, "Madhuuu!". She stopped to look for the person who had dared to call her by the name her dad used to address her as. But somehow, she couldn't make herself taunt that elderly lady, so she quietly went near her. "I think you shouldn't be going out in this broad daylight...You'll invite yourself unwanted attention" said she. Madhubala was miffed by this elderly lady's son already but this woman seemed to calm her down. "Come sweetheart...come inside for a while...Rishu will arrange some means of transport for you..." Madhubala stammered, "No, aunty...I am alright! I'll summon my driver to pick me up from here..." She tried to avoid meeting that alien again. "Madhubala, beta I am no one to stop you but I very well know what will happen to you if you go out in the village at this hour. Leave the paparazzi, there are some cranky villagers out here who would make your and my life hell here...else, it's entirely your decision..." Madhubala thought and sighed. She suddenly felt responsible and answerable to this elderly lady who was apparently, that alien guy's mother. "By the way, Rishu was just trying to remove the strand of hair which was disrupting your sleep...if he would have wanted to take an advantage; he wouldn't have brought you here but would have taken you to his hostel room..." Madhubala gasped at her stupidity, BUT it was Superstar Madhubala ka ego...she couldn't say sorry to him...how could she! She decided to remain mum and silent as she followed Radha inside.
Rishabh was busy un-packing his trunk. Madhubala made sure she didn't make a direct eye-contact with him. She was feeling super guilty. She sat on the dining table munching dry corn-flakes without the milk. She had found some unusual pleasure in doing that. Radha served her the best breakfast she could arrange for the Superstar. For the first time in those twelve hours, Madhubala's attention went on to Rishabh... his body...she wondered if he was the same guy she just fought some 20 minutes back. He looked absolutely breath-taking. While un-packing, his chest muscles bulged out of his black simple vest. She wondered why wasnt he wearing anything...oblivious to the fact that his only purple shirt was currently clinging to who else but herself...She munched the whole large flake and in came her soft tongue between her teeth and that flake. There was a small 'ouch' later and then as the pain grew, the sounds of her being present in the house became more vivid.
Almost an hour later, Rishabh covered her in his mother's shawl from head to toe and then both of them crept out of their house. They walked down to the nearest bus station where Madhubala's driver was waiting for her. Having safely escorted to the car, Rishabh moved back to his place trying to forget that eventful night with a superstar.
