Situation: This is a comic followup from the episode when Kabir tells Ananya that she needs to lose some weight. And she takes it too seriously...
KKN conference room. A meeting is in progress.
Kabir: Where is Ananya?
Richa: Sir, she has gone to the gym.
K: Gym? *Eyebrows raised*
R: Yes, Sir. It seems she felt that she has put on some weight, so...
Ronnie: But who told her that? As it is, she hardly eats anything. Even Auntie was cribbing that day. She decided to forego her favourite Aloo-Paranthas.
Trisha: (Slurping) So you could have given me those aloo paranthas na.
Richa pokes her with a pencil.
"Abe chup? Paranthe kha kar itni moti ho jayegi ki camera main nahi aayegi! Phir mausam ka haal kya hoga?"
Trisha Pouts and Khalid laughs at this.
"But Kabir, this is a national concern. I think we should do a Sunday evening session on this. "The expanding girth" or "The Battle of the bulge" Even Malvika's skirts are so broad based that...
Malvika: (coughs loudly) Ok folks back to work. Ronnie, could you touch base with Ananya on this lead?
Ronnie: Sure. As soon as she comes in.
Ananya walks in, still in her gym attire. She rotates her hand occasionally which irritates Kabir to no end. She is still holding a dumbbell in her hand like the mike.
K: Ms Kashyap, please come back from the gym now. We have a lead.
A: Yes, Sir. I understand lead is a very heavy metal.
K: Ananya, I am talking about lead, the thing that means a tip-off. And not the metal.
A: Yes, Sir. I got the hint. I would certainly tip the scales at...
K: (Rolling his eyes) Enough. Sunny, please take her from here. You know what to do
A: Sir, one request. Can I jog on the way? That way KKN can also save on the petrol na. And I can do the dumbbell exercise with the mike...
K: (trying to suppress his laughter) And what about Sunny? He would need the vehicle?
Ananya tries to say something but Sunny growls before that.
Sunny: Oye, I am not going to run, OK? I ran only once with you and got a sprained ankle.
Ananya: OK, Sunny. I will lift you in my arms and run. Like..."
Kabir coughs hard and Ananya passes on a glass of water to him.
A: Sir, don't cough this hard. You know, every time you cough, your body generates adrenaline that burns some calories which are...
K: Sunny PLEASE! TAKE HER AWAY!
Sunny drags her away and Kabir puts his head in his hands.
Richa clears her throat.
Sir, Ananya was never so figure conscious. What exactly happened in the jungle?
Kabir's phone rings at the moment. It is Ananya's mother.
Hi Auntie! Kaise yaad kiya?
Kabir, Something is wrong with Ananya. She wants to reduce her weight.
Ohhh...I see. What do you want me to do?
Please talk her out of this. She is not listening to anyone. I think she will listen to you atleast..
Kabir doesn't know whether to laugh or cry at this. He looks around to his team.
OK, team, I have the most difficult job at hand.
Everyone perks up at this.
We need to convince Ananya that she doesn't need to reduce her weight. Or Auntie has threatened to cut my ration of rajma-Jeera rice...
Richa: But Sir, from where did she get this idea? She was never like this. I mean before she got kidnapped...
Trisha: Sir, it seems one guard there was quite besotted with her. Did he say anything to her?
Ronnie: But why would he say anything like that? Unless he had to carry her in his arms!
Kabir's head was spinning at a supersonic speed. He grabbed his head in both hands and bellowed out.
"No, the guard didnt carry her. I had to!"
There was stunned silence after that.
Malvika: You...carried...her...in...your..arms?
Trisha (Drooling with a dreamy expression) " Sir...how romantic"
Richa: "Shut up Trisha"
Khalid: OK, team...next time I want to get kidnapped. Arrange for that!
