I look and stare soo deeply , madly in love , right into his eyes.

"I love you , Alia " he says.

I cup his face and then look up at the dark sky.

The fireworks shine bright.

" I love you too "  ,  I say and my lips crash to his.

His lips seek for dominance.

That's when the director shouts  , "Cut It !"

" Nice shot Payal !" Says the director , Mr. Jojo Screwala.

" Thank you sir."  I say and head to my vanity van.

After all these years , the only thing I have become perfect at is  , acting , covering up all my real feelings and portraying what other's want to see in me.

I didn't take up my family business,  I'd left it to my brother , Kabir .

Instead,  I chose to study in NSD and later on ,  in Juilliard.

After returning from the States I had auditioned for a few movies and a few stage acts and my debut film won me , a Filmfare for best actor in lead role,  female , and many more commercial and critics awards too.

So practically I became Bollywood's new Princess in no time.

People say I  look completely flawless ,with my five feet six inches frame , and lean figure with almond shaped eyes and naturally pouty lips.

But I guess we all have our own flaws , weakness which we should embrace.

I , Payal Nanda am one of the highest earning actresses and the most Charitable Indian Woman just after my mother  , I'd picked it up from my parents , since my early ages ,my dad earned crores and mom did immense charity work .

Well I choose to do both.

Yes , I donate one fourth of what I earn from acting and I also  own fashion line called , 'InSane' which was India's very own D&G to VS.

Presently , I'm shooting for my upcoming film , today is the last day of the shoot , 

And the start to my vacation.

I wiped the make up from my face , change back to my own comfortable dress and was

drinking water when  I hear a knock on the door of my vanity van.

I  opened it , and in front of me was my manager Zara Khan.

Zara is of nearly my age ,  but she is a bit short and her skin color is similar to that of the rich olive.

She always wears spectacles and formal shirts and skinny jeans below them.

If she wasn't by my side ,I  wouldn't have made halfway where I am now.

So I owed my success to many people , one of them is Zara.

Zara came and sat on the couch.

" Enjoy your vacation! " Said Zara.

" I'll try to. If Jai let's me to. 'Cause already he's been blowing up my phone with questions about his wedding. " I said.

"Oh.. so where are you heading now ??" Asked Zara.

" Umm. I'm going to the mall now and then I'll go home. " I said , as I packed my essentials in a sling bag.

" Do you want security with you ?" She asked.

" Um.  No. It's fine. . I'll wear my hoodie and darkest shades. " I said as I grabbed my shades.

" Okay.  Call me if you need help." Said Zara as both of us got ready to leave the vanity van.
