Aryan Khan (One-Shots/Short-Stories)

Infatuation {2}

Continuation from the last part.

Auditioning for such a big label film was something Amara never had on her wish list. She has always been just a normal 24 years old woman, doing her honors in Economics and working as a part-time receptionist in a local bakery shop. She was just a normal, kind, and humble girl from a middle-class well-to-do family. Trying to make a place for herself in this cruel world and making her parents proud.

However, last Summer during the Summer Break from her University; she thought of trying something new. Modeling was there on her mind, and she heard from a few of her classmates that it provides a handful of allowances. Thus, she went on for some modeling trials and there one agency personality requested her to just try and give an audition for a film. Recently, they heard that the Yash Raj Films and Red Chillies Entertainment, were joining hands for a new film; and they were looking for newcomers for the main lead female. 

Therefore, since Amara did not have anything to do that evening and even she was a hundred percent sure that she would not be selected, but it could be a good experience; she went. Well, as they say, "Never Say Never" and "Expect The Unexpected" she got selected for the part of the main lead female! Saying that she was excited would be a clear understatement. She was overjoyed and overwhelmed, but scared and anxious as well. Everyone knows that the Bollywood industry has lost its charm. It's now filled with hatred, hypocrisy, and dirty politics. People hardly pay attention to the new aspiring stars, and even if they do then their downfall would arrive sooner than later!

However, Amara then gathered up her courage and called her parents and loved ones to let them know about this matter. Well, all this, while her mind would still travel around and go back to the time, went her eyesight met a specific one's. Rather, a charming pair of hazel orbs. She could never fathom why on the Earth would he support her, and then persistently request his legendary father and the director to allow her to be on the film. She was basically a nobody. 

~ Skip the time to a few months ~

These last few months were hectic. They had workshops, dance classes, rehearsals, script reading sessions, camera facing and responding sessions, and many more. Since, majority of the actors, including the side and supporting ones were new to the film world; they had to begin from the very start. Although, Aryan Khan did not mind. Usually, he would be pissed off if things take more time or would not go according to his taste and pace. However, this time he was rather delighted. He would go and attend those workshops and sessions, even though he did not require any. For God's sake! He got out of the University of Southern California with A-class grades, in Film Making and Production. Moreover, he had a passion for acting in his blood!

Well, however, he liked it. He liked staying next to Amara. He could not name his raw and aspiring feelings for her, but he for sure liked her company and her personality. He loved how she was so determined to learn, even though this is completely a new world for her. He loved how she was not afraid or ever felt embarrassed and ashamed while asking for help. If she felt uncomfortable or did not understand a scene or a dialogue, she would protest it and try to do better the next time. Many people lacked that ability, but not her. She was true to herself, and her honesty and vulnerability made her stand out in the crowd. 

" Hey. " Amara spoke smiled noticing Aryan, entering the set.

" Hi! " Aryan replied back with a smile.

He walked up to her and gave her a side hug. They were supposed to shoot a music video today. The shoot had been running pretty smoothly, even though Amara had little knowledge about the entertainment world, still she was trying her level best. She would read and memorize the lines, and practice in front of her mirror. All this while, she did get the opportunity to know Aryan Khan, personally. He was not like what the media and others portray him as. He is sweet, gentle, and determined. Even though he was acting in the movie purely out of his father's interest, still he was trying hard to do right by his father. He was working hard for the legacy to live on.

Amara knew she was attracted to him. Hell! Maybe, she even loved him. However, she knew that it was just never possible; and that he would never choose her. Moreover, she believed that when you love someone and that person loves you back in return, then you are uniquely vulnerable. They then have the power to hurt you like nothing else, and maybe she was scared that even if they date; it will not be last.

Thus, they started shooting and everyone got busy and immersed in their work. People on the set, all of them were equally passionate and hard-working. Moreover, they knew what backlash they would have to bear after the movie releases, and hence they were trying to make everything marvelous and make fewer mistakes. 

" So, you guys are ready? " Director asked.

" Yeah! Let's get done with it. " Aryan replied.

" Rolling. Camera. Action! " Director announced.

Thus, they did their part in the song. Well, matching the dance steps was kind of complex for both of them, but still, they did their best. Then there was a sequence where they had to confess their love. 

The lines of the scene were as following :

" I'm not gonna let someone's idea of destiny stop me from loving you or being with you or building a future with you, because you are my life! "  Kabir said. (Aryan's character)

" And, I'm not sorry that I met you. I'm not sorry that knowing you has made me question everything, that even in death you would be the one who can make me feel most alive. You've been a terrible person. You made all the wrong choices and of all the choices that I've made this one will surely prove to be the worst one, but I'm not sorry that I'm in love with you. " Sia replied. (Amara's character)

" And, I'll love you forever. On your good days, on your bad days, when you smile, when you don't smile, and even when maybe you love someone who isn't me. I'll love you forever! " Kabir said planted his lips on Sia's.

It was as if they were confessing their real feelings for each other. The director, the crew, and everyone present there was stunned. Seeing them, right there performing the scene with their real emotions out; was surreal!

Well, for Aryan and Amara their emotional and sentimental state were wretched, by this point. Maybe, they wanted and desired a love that consumed them. Maybe they desired passion, an adventure, and even a little danger. As it is often said that, when you love someone then it is worth fighting for; no matter what!

This is it.

This was from my end. Hopefully, I did not ruin the plot.
