Breaking news: Pehle hi concert mein Shehnaaz Gill ne jeet liya logo ka dil. Kaal tak jo chehra tha anjaan, ek hi concert mein unhone chua milestone. Sabse badi baat, unhe mila hai Sidharth Shukla ka saath. Sidharth ne media ke samne Shehnaaz ko kaha apni dost. Kya Shehnaaz Gill ban paayengi music industry ka ek chamakta sitara?

Being irritated, Sonia switched off the TV and threw the remote on her bed.

"Har jagah bas Shehnaaz Gill ka naam. Akhir aisa kya hai iss ladki mein? After all hai toh middle class. Chahe kitni bhi acchi gaa le, Sonia ke level par kabhi nahi pohuch paayegi." Sonia uttered and sat on her bed.

"I know Sid yeh sab jaan bujh ke kar raha hai. He wants to take revenge. Isliye iss ladki ko laya hai. But before she becomes my toughest competitor, I have to break her confidence. Usse uski aukat dikhani padegi."

When she was thinking all these, her boyfriend entered the room.

"What happened baby? You're looking tensed." He said and gave a side hug.

"Nothing baby. Tum kaha the? Aaj toh koi recording nahi hai tumhari." Sonia said.

"Have you forgotten? Aaj humare ghar mein party hai for the success of our new music video."

"Oh yeah. I forgot."

"Koi baat nahi. Time se ready ho jaana. Bohut log aane wale hai."

She thought for a while and asked, "Kaun kaun aane wale hai?"

"Humari puri team rahegi. Aur kuch famous producers and singers aayenge." He said.

Sonia hit upon a plan. "Baby kya hum Shehnaaz Gill aur Sidharth ko bula sakte hai?" She said.

"What?" Her boyfriend laughed. "Unn logo ko bula kar kya karogi? They are not our friends."

"I mean sabko bula rahe ho toh unko bhi...."

He became serious. "You know Sidharth aur meri nahi banti. Aur rahi baat uss Shehnaaz ki toh main usse bula kar kya karunga? She is totally a newcomer. Yeh standard logo ki party hai." He said.

Sonia got angry. "Main jab bol rahi hoon phir koi naa koi reason toh hoga. If you don't invite them, I won't attend the party too."

"Have you lost your mind? Tum iss mv ki singer ho. Okay I'll invite them. But only for you. I think abhi bhi woh Sidharth tumhare dil se gaya nahi."

Sonia became happy. She came close and kissed her boyfriend on his cheek.

"Aisa kuch nahi hai Baby. Main sirf tumse pyaar karti hoon. Trust me." She said.

He smiled and hugged her.

"Sidharth se bhi zyada main Shehnaaz ko meet karne ke liye excited hoon. I also want to see, akhir kya hai uss ladki mein jiske liye Sid mujhe bhul gaya."

"Hello, no Shehnaaz Gill is busy. Not possible." Sidharth said and cut the call.

"Sidharth tu ek ke baad ek shows cancel kyu kar raha hai? Accha hi toh hai log mujhse concerts karwana chahte hai. Main bhi karna chahti hoon." Shehnaaz said.

Sidharth looked at her and smiled. He cupped her face and said, "Of course tu karegi. Lekin humein bohut dhyan se shows select karne honge. Aisa nahi hai kuch bhi mil jayega aur tu kar legi. Samne tere itne saare bade bade shows toh hai. Ab chote mote shows karke kya karegi? Always believe in quality more than quantity."

"Tu kitni acchi tarah se samjha deta hai. Jab tak tu mere saath hai, mujhe kisi baat ki tension nahi." Shehnaaz said.

"Aur main tere saath hi rahunga."
