The bright studio lights glowed as Kriti Desai, the popular sports presenter, adjusted her microphone. She had interviewed numerous cricket stars, but today was different. Today, she was interviewing Shubman Gill, the young and promising star of Indian cricket. There was a certain buzz in the air, a mix of excitement and nervousness that Kriti couldn't quite place.

As she went through her notes, the studio door opened, and Shubman walked in. Dressed in a crisp white shirt and dark trousers, his presence instantly commanded attention. He flashed a polite smile at the crew before his eyes met Kriti's.

"Kriti Desai, right?" Shubman asked, extending his hand with a friendly smile. "Maine aapke kaafi interviews dekhe hain. Aapka style unique hai."

Kriti shook his hand, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "Thank you, Shubman. Aapko milke achha laga. Ready for the interview?"

He nodded, sitting down across from her. "Bilkul. Let's do this."

The cameras rolled, and the interview began. Kriti started with the usual questions about his recent matches, training routines, and future plans. Shubman answered them with ease, his confidence and charm shining through. But as the interview progressed, Kriti decided to stir things up a bit.

"Toh, Shubman," she said with a teasing smile, "humein batayein... cricket ke alawa, life mein aur kya chal raha hai? Koi special friend ya phir aapka focus sirf cricket par hi hai?"

Shubman chuckled, leaning back in his chair. "Abhi tak toh sirf cricket par hi focus hai, Kriti. Par kabhi-kabhi sochta hoon ki shaayad... koi special friend bhi zaroori hai."

Kriti raised an eyebrow, catching the playful glint in his eyes. "Acha? Toh hum ye maan lein ki aapke dil ke wickets abhi tak sab safe hain?"

He laughed at her clever cricket reference. "Filhaal toh sabhi wickets safe hain, lekin aap jaise bowler ke saamne toh koi bhi defensive shot kaam nahi karega."

Kriti blushed slightly but kept her composure. She wasn't used to cricketers flirting back, especially not in such a charming way. The interview continued, with both of them exchanging witty remarks and laughter. The chemistry between them was palpable, noticed not just by the crew but by the viewers who would watch the interview later.

After the interview wrapped up, Shubman stood up, his smile softer now. "Kriti, it was genuinely fun. Aapke saath baat karke laga nahi ki main ek interview de raha hoon."

Kriti smiled back, feeling an unexpected warmth in his words. "Shukriya, Shubman. Aapko bhi interview kar ke bahut maza aaya."

As they walked towards the exit, Shubman hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "Waise, aap mujhe kabhi ground ke bahar bhi interview karna chahengi? Maybe over a cup of coffee?"

Kriti's eyes widened slightly, surprised by his directness. But there was something sincere in his expression that made her smile. "Coffee, haan? Why not. Lekin warning deti hoon, wahan bhi questions zaroor hongi."

Shubman laughed, nodding. "Deal. Wahan bhi main aapke sawaalon ka saamna karne ke liye taiyaar hoon."

They exchanged numbers, and as Shubman left the studio, Kriti couldn't help but feel that something new and exciting was starting. What began as a simple interview had now turned into the beginning of a potential love story.

Over the next few weeks, the two met frequently. What began as casual conversations over coffee turned into deep, meaningful chats about life, dreams, and everything in between. Shubman found himself looking forward to every moment he could spend with Kriti, and she too started feeling a flutter of excitement every time his name popped up on her phone screen.

One evening, as they walked along a quiet street after dinner, Shubman finally gathered the courage to say what had been on his mind for weeks.

"Kriti," he began, his voice unusually serious, "Mujhe nahi pata tha ki ek interview se ye sab shuru ho jayega. But I'm glad it did. I think... I think I've found my special friend."

Kriti stopped, her heart racing as she looked up at him. "Shubman, main bhi... same sochti hoon. Yeh journey unexpected thi, par... it's been amazing."

A smile spread across Shubman's face, his hand reaching out to hold hers. "Toh phir, let's make this journey even more amazing."

And under the starlit sky, a new chapter began for Shubman and Kriti, all thanks to that one fateful interview.
