Jhalak DikhlaJaa with SidNaaz

1. The Beginning of it all

In one corner of Mumbai in a flat an alarm was going off. The guy off the bed groaned and woke up from his sleep and switched on the alarm. Lazily, he got off the bed and did his morning chores and went to his living room where he greeted his mom.

Sidharth: Good morning mom

Rita aunty : Good morning montu beta. Slept well?

Sidharth gave a sad smile.

Sidharth: Come on mom you know the answer to it.

Rita aunty : My heart says you'll find your peace soon and genuinely be happy from your heart.

She came forward and held his face lovingly

Rita aunty : Anyways go get ready today is a new beginning for you. Not everyone gets a second chance beta. Make full use if this opportunity. I know how much you've missed being in front of the camera in these last two months. I am sure you'll soon make a place in the industry as well as in rhe hearts of the people. Give your best beta!

Sidharth became emotional and hugged his mother tightly. Then he had his breakfast of his favourite Kanda poha. He took a bath, ate the dahi chini that his mom gave him and got ready to leave for the Jhalak Dikhla Jaa Set in Film City.

Today was supposed to be his opening performance, meet the host, judges and the other contestants. It was also the day where each of the contestants would be paired up with a choreographer.

Soon he reached the place. He sat in the car for 15 minutes thinking about how well his career was going when suddenly one show and one controversy ruined it all. Would he be able to make his place in the industry again? Would people still be looking at him with judgemental eyes? Will the audience mock him? Would he be able to handle another lot of insults and failures? He didn't know the answers to it all. He shove aside all those thoughts that were coming to his mind and decided to just go with the flow. He took a deep breath and exited the car and entered the premises.

In another corner of Mumbai, a young girl is wearing headphones and dancing on the bed. She sways her hips to the tune and does the steps with a lot of energy

Girl : "Yeh ladki Pagal hai Pahgal Hai Pagal hai Pahgal"

Her flatmate Meera enters the room with her hands on her ears.

Mera: Shehnaaz yaar chup kar. Sab jaante hai ki tu poori pagal hai. Aise Yun cheekh cheekh kar kyun bata rhi hai sabko!

(Shehnaaz everyone knows that you're mad. Why do you need to scream and declare it at the top of your voice in the morning!)

Shehnaaz makes a pout and stops.

Shehnaaz : Mera yaar mujhe mere dance ke time pareshaan mat kar

With that she again starts twerking while singing the song completely ignoring Meera.

Meera : Huh. Main toh tujhe yeh batane aayi thi ki breakfast ready hai. Tera favourite Aloo Paratha. Aaja aur khale varna phir late ho jayega. Aaj tera Jhalak ka first day hai na.

Shehnaaz stopped, jumped off the bed and hugged her best friend tightly.

Shehnaaz : Thank you Meera. You're the best. You know I'm I'm so happy that I got this new opportunity. I will give my best in it. Shayad isse I gain a name in the industry and maybe just maybe my family will be proud of me.

Saying this she had a sad smile on her face.

Meera understood that she loving for her family and quickly changed the topic

Meera : Saanuu yaar. I'm so proud of you that you did not give up. I'm sure tere liye ye show bahut kuch accha layega. I know that you'll give your best and I'm sure you'll make your family proud. And I'm sure this show I'll change your life....... in a positive way of course!
