"Of course, I'm Mr fit and fine doesn't take sugar..", she mumbled. Vikram lifted his eyes while folding his cuff. "Ufff.....", Nimmi mentally fangirling seeing the handsome hulk while Vikram was looking at her with no expressions. But inside he was very much giving a cocky smile.

"Arrz kiya hai..", Vikram blinked his eyes a few times, taken a back by her sudden changes of expressions.

"Ke Pyaar main jeetna hai to baar baar marnaa padega.

"Dhyaan se suniyega"(listen very carefully), Vikram put his elbow on his knee and two fingers under his chin, listening very carefully while Nimmi was standing giving her performance.
