As I said in the description also a story entirely from Karan bhai's pov but I might include Teja's pov here and there if so I will mention it else all it's going on in the head of Karan Kundrra
His verbal exchange would be typed in italics

I woke up today of course with a call from Om, my manager. It's a one day shoot for some game show which would air on flipkart. It's mainly about my point of view regarding certain topics and debates.
All the details about the questions and the co-workers have obviously been sent before hand but I haven't bothered to go through it.
I like to be spontaneous in my interviews and stuff like this, being an actor I am always acting when I am in front of cameras but shows with such a genre I feel should reflect the true real self so why to prep up for it.
Or Rahi baat co- cast ki toh koi bhi ho kya hi farak padta hai. As always will do my work, have my pay cheque and back home

I reached the set on time, yes a shock to me as well. Though I woke up late but I don't know why I am kind of bouncing and having this giddy feeling since morning. My body is unexpectedly hyper active, I am feeling super energetic and the morning routines which take me hours to complete were done in half time. Even before that divine cup of tea I was up and about and was feeling it's my day today.

I entered my vanity and sat on the chair for my first look. It's going to be a three piece get up white t-shirt paired with orange striped trousers and matching jacket. My hair was to be braided with few accessories and put up in bun as I have long hair right now for a role I am preparing for.
I decided the outfit I chose the look, hair and all. I always love to have a say in my styling as it always gives me added confidence to carry the look but still while sitting here on the chair I am having this weird feeling, my lips are twitching in a smirk while seeing my hairstyle as if I am mocking myself.

Hair stylist- Kya hua karan bhai apko baal ache nhi lag rahe? We can try something else
Karan- Nhi esa nhi hai bss esa lag raha hai that someone is mocking me for having an elborated hair style you know braids and stuff but it goes with the look. I like it.

Just then the crew knocked his vanity to call him as it's time to begin.

And suddenly I am having butterflies in my stomach, my hearts racing. I see my reflection in mirror and my eyes are sparking.
What's wrong with you Karan Kundrra why you feeling like a teenager going on first date get a hold of yourself, take deep breaths.
And I turn around to see my team they were also seeing me as if I am wearing my clothes upside down. They think I am getting nervous and I never get nervous mtlb I do ofc but I never show so
Aaj ka din hi ajeeb hai it's like entire universe is in different mood today.
Hey universe are you in love bro because I am also feeling jitters of love get a hold of yourself.
And I stepped out of vanity and my doubt about universe being in love got confirmed what a beautiful day with God damn amazing weather, breeze filled with some sweet sent I inhaled to fill my soul with that fragrance and entered back stage waiting for my introduction.

Entire time my eyes were wandering around as I was looking for someone my heart was beating like a fanatic and my soul yes my soul to was longing as if want to escape from my body and search it's dear one
But ignoring all this on hearing my introduction I entered the stage.

Genelia - please welcome Punjab ki shaan and TV shows ki Jaan Karan Kundrra.

She called Vikas after me. He and are long friends and we are going to be on same panel today we are "Gentlemen" today and I chukled at irony as apparently I am the "badboy" of ITV.
Now it's time for ladies to enter.
And in my vanity while discussing the entire setup crew mentioned we will be opposite Rashmi Desaai and Tejasswi Prakash. I have met rashmi before we are friends through friends so yeah she is one I am acquainted with but Tejasswi hmm I haven't heard of her before let alone meet but still my heart found a moment of peace since morning after listening her name. It has been restless since morning but as soon as I heard her name I let out a sigh and my heart settled down  but it was momentarily now it's again racing against time apparently and I feel is in some kind of hurry

Back stage I met Vikas and asked her about our ladies ( obviously wanted to know more about her but not making it obvious)

Karan- So Vikas who are in the ladies panel today
Vikas- Rashmi and Teju, Tejasswi I mean.

He called her Teju which means he obviously knows her and why wont he, he practically knows everyone from TV world but still him knowing her and me being completely clueless is not settling well with me.
Seeing some confused expression on my face he continued

Vikas- Aree baba you have met Rashmi before why are you looking that they are aliens who dropped fresh on this planet.
And Teju well she never socialize much so chances are Tu use nhi mila hoga but trust me she is really sweet one of the most sincere and good girl of Television industry. And much to my distaste he gave extra information. No scandal or controversy at all just always minding her own business. No rumors as I had hardly seen her interacting with her fellow actors and with ones she does they end up being her brother.

My reverie of thoughts were broken by her name falling into my ears.

Ritesh- Ace actor and model, Tejasswi Prakash.

And she entered the stage. My entire world stops at that very moment and after that even I wasn't aware about my actions or reaction. It was like my mind took the back seat and my subconscious mind, my heart, my soul every ounce of my being took charge as if they are meeting someone long lost finally.
She is looking so beautiful and cute in that pink oops baby pink floral dress.  Her hair tied up, oh I want to set them free and she chirped "Hi" to Ritesh and Genelia.
Her voice was melodious than any religious composition ever. How can I not have here attention. And my hand automatically raised and waived at her and I am sure I am having the most stupidest smile on my face like a child getting all his favorite toys without asking.
And I so want to stop myself my mind from somewhere back is screaming at me you have a stud image to maintain for God sake keep this "Sunny" At home but I guess I am not Karan Kundrra today. It's Sunny's day.
I just kept looking at her with that same love sick smile and my mind is slapping me to come back into senses
And alas dream broken Rashmi entered the stage and I somehow composed myself.
My mind took the steering wheel again but he and I both know it's my heart who would be changing the gears today
In hope of not doing anything stupid we continue with our game show
