"And they lived happily ever after", who ever told this must have lived his life in the fantasy world. Because the world in which we live in, nothing is constant. From the time we are born we get a lifetime subscription to unfortunate moments and if you are a part of this industry, you are whole heartedly welcomed with mystery, peer pressure, unnecessary trolling and invasion of privacy. I love music, but today after years of hard work I realised music never loved me!"

"Darshan you have been ruling the music industry for almost the last 20 years. How does it feel to be the 'The Superstar Singer' of the country?"
Darshan smiles "It feels amazing. I was 19 when I participated in Raw star, and my journey has started since then. I feel very grateful to receive so much love."
"Darshan people have always seen you be positive and inspire the youth, you have told not to give up. What is your take on that?"
"Life is a journey, and you will face ups and downs, but do not give up. Whenever you feel low tell yourself that if you are here because you have gone through so much, giving up on life is not a solution. Take me as an example, I have faced a lot, but touchwood I never gave up-"

A man in sitting in the corner of a dimly lit club pauses an interview which he was watching in his mobile. He looks at the beer glass in his hand and gulps the whole drink in one go. He places the glass on the bar table. He puts a cigarette in between his lips and lights it. He takes a puff and closes his eyes.

"Papa I was thinking of realising an album. I have a few tunes. I think I should realise my own music rather than putting up covers of other artist's songs. Mumma what do you feel?" says Divya while tuning her guitar. Diksha sits beside her and replies "I agree, if you want to do something take the leap and go head. Darshan what do you say?"
"Divya complete your studies first. Then music. Complete your studies, grow up then build your career in music."
"But Papa I am fifteen now. Even you participated in competitions and put out covers of songs. Why are you stopping me? What is wrong with you Papa?"

Darshan was doing a chat session on social media when someone asked him "@ /darshanravaldz you have collaborated with almost all the artists that we wanted in the last few years. Thank you for making our wishes come true"
He replies "I had to fulfill all your wishes."
Another fan says "What was the hurry? Are you running away someone? XD"
Darshan replies "Raval is always there."

"Mr Raval it I would definitely advise you to tell this to your family. Your wife should know this atleast." He denies, "You should do what you're assigned to do. It is enough that I've called you, don't do anything without informing me...it might become worse."
"Mr Raval please try to understand, it is important‐"
"Do what I say."

The reporter asks "So what do you think might be the reason?" The man smiles "I am telling you all these people of the industry just care for money. Everyone is like that. They can do anything to get fame and earn money."
"So Sir according to you, he did this for fame?"
"I have known him since years, he cannot control his greed. He only cares about money and is great at gaining sympathy from the audience," the man smiles, "if you dig deep into his history, you will find out some unbelievable facts." Hearing that the reporter continues "is this his reality? Was his real face hidden all these years? Does he have no respect from his craft? Stay tuned to know the latest news about the superstar whose identity is at crisis."

Diksha comes inside Darshan's studio. He removes his headphones and looks at her. She comes and sits on his lap. Darshan puts his arms around her and whispers "Hey gorgeous! What's up?" Diksha hides her face near his neck and replies "Happy anniversary husband. I am falling for you every day." He laughs "is it?" "Of course, I love you Darsh."
He kisses her forehead and replies "I love you too. Thank you for always being there Diksha." "Shut up thank ki dukhan! Get ready and let's go on a drive, just like the old times." "You are driving today, I will just enjoy." Diksha bows down "at your service, Sir". Darshan laughs "Drama queen." Diksha shouts while going out the room "Says who?"

"Where is Darshan Raval" reads the front page of every newspaper. All the famous news channels question the same "Who is Darshan Raval? Where is Darshan Raval?"

"Face behind fame" as they say. Does fame change a person?
10 years is a long time. Darshan Raval's popularity has increased a lot in a decade. Fame, awards, recognition, media, paparazzi surround him all the time. He was at the peak of his popularity when he was brought back to rock bottom. Situations were not in this favour, but what will he do? What happened to him? Is he still the same person who he was before fame? How are his equations with his family, friends and his blue family?
Most importantly, is he still the same Darshan Raval?
