Shaan and Khanak finished the shoot 'gave eachother a meek smile and left. They had shot a romantic sequence just before the pack-up and their chemistry was awesome'
Coincidentally both of their couple of friends had come to see the shoot today'
Shaan's friend : Shaan dude'.you and Khanak are quite close I guess'U just rocked it that last scene'Is there something going on in between the both of u..?
Shaan: (smiling a little) there's nothing like such yaar'we are just co-actors'
Shaan's friend: really? (looking at Khanak who was laughing and talking with a friend of hers) anyways'she must be just cordial with U ..but I guess is over-friendly with someone else there..(indicating with his eyes)
Shaan looked at Khanak'she was smiling and talking to a guy'who she had once introduced as a friend to him'The guy had a couple of times visited the sets'"she seems to be quite comfortable with him"
Shaan: whatever'I don't care (he lied casually)
Shaan and his friend walked passed Khanak as she called him out.
Khanak: hey! Shaan..thats my friend purab'
Shaan: I know Khanak'we are not meeting for the first time are we? (looking at Purab)'he's been quite a visitor on sets off lately'
Purab: exactly'nice to meet U again Shaan..
They both shook hands and left'

Later in the evening''Shaan with his friends'
Friend 1(who was present on the sets): By the way Shaan U looked quite frustrated seeing Khanak with that guy.
Shaan: I told U before as well its not true..
Friend 2: I don't believe Shaan would fall for a girl like Khanak..
Friend 3: what do u mean by "a girl like her"?
Friend 2: U know "behenji"
And they all started laughing together'Shaan curled his hand into a fist immediately'he didn't like the way they were talking about her'but still kept mum'he didn't want to show everyone he cared for her'and was indeed sad seeing her with Purab. He just laughed along with them'
''''''''''''''''''''''
Khanak with her friends'
Purab: Khanak'U and Shaan seem quite comfortable with eachother'
Khanak: yes ..we are'(smiling)
Friend 2: oh ho'how much comfortable..?
Khanak: we are just cordial'
Friend 3: just cordial'not even friends..? (raising her eyebrows)
Khanak: well..not that we hate eachother but'I don't know'I prefer calling him a co-actor than a friend.
Purab: but he seems quite egoistic'
Khanak: egoistic?
Purab: yea'"I have got six-packs, a fair complexion and I look like Ranbir Kapoor" kind of thing..
Khanak tried to correct him but was interrupted by her friend'
Friend 2: really Purab'U are so funny'.
And they all started laughing'while Khanak just let it go.
''''''''''''''''''''''
After a week ''
Cameraman 1: Did U read that article'.they are at loggerheads'lagta toh nahi tha?
2: yaar ye celebrity logon ka kuch bharosa nahi'
Khanak overheard them and asked what they were talking about'They told her about the article in the paper'she read it and was disgusted'"he called me a behenji?"she thought'is that what he thinks about me'I respect him so much and he''uh'
Shaan entered' he had already read the article'he seemed quite disappointed as well'he looked at her'"have I made such an impression on her? That I think of myself as Ranbir Kapoor?"'
The whole day on the shoot they didn't talk to eachother but acted professional'they didn't let their personal issues come in between their work'
'''''''''''''''''''
Later in the evening'
Some actor(to Khanak): aaj Shaan ke ghar party hain'U r coming right..?
Shaan had invited her just like he did to the whole cast'
Khanak: No yaar'today I m very tired'I wont be coming'
Shaan overheard this'
Shaan: (interrupting them in between) ya I knew that'why would she attend a party of a Ranbir Kapoor wannabe (not looking at Khanak at all)
Khanak: I never said that'
Shaan: (finally turning towards her) really'?
The other actor: I think somebody's calling me'I better leave.
He left leaving Shaan and Khanak alone to talk.
Neither of them talked'they just stood there in silence'
Khanak finally broke the silence between them'
Khanak: Shaan'U really think I could ever say such thing about U?
Shaan looked into her eyes'His heart knew she wasn't lying'but his mind overtook his heart'
Shaan: there is no smoke without fire Khanak.
Khanak: I could say the same to U as well'If U have forgotten even U said things about me'
Shaan: I did not say anything like that'
Khanak: How do U expect me to believe U'when U don't believe me'
Shaan: (getting hold of her shoulders and turning her around to face him) I never said that thing about U at all'I could never do that'I know we were never that great as friends'we had our share of fights 'our share of differences'but I respect U Khanak'and I always will'I can never ever..ever..talk bad about U'U might not like me'but I do like U'I really do'and one more thing'U look gorgeous when you are angry'
Khanak: Shaan' (she punched him lightly on his shoulders) even I can never talk rubbish about U'not because I like U or something'its just that I would never compare you with Ranbir ...I mean c'mon yaar..kaha Ranbir aur kaha tum (she smiled cheekily 'Shaan was a little disappointed but let it go as he knew Khanak's nature'she always joked)' (Khanak began again after taking a small pause)'because'I think U are far better than Ranbir'(she smiled)
Shaan: really now?
Khanak: really (she smiled again)
Shaan: alright..so U are attending my party right..?
Khanak: absolutely'.let the people talk whatever they want to''I hate U! and will hate U! for the rest of my life..
Shaan: I don't mind it Khanak'issi bahane tum mujhe zindagi bhar yaad toh rakhogi'
They both laughed together''''''
