My Charming Husband

3: He might be a good person

Naina's POV:

Today is the first of the shoot. The team and I have arrived here on time, obviously I was before time. But that hero of ours is still late. Huh! No surprise to me.

Yesterday when Mr. Aakash, that annoying latecomer, said he didn't need payment for this good cause, I was really impressed. But he quickly explained that this would help him in his next movie in terms of experience, and that made me realize that he obviously isn't doing it just for good cause. Probably he is trying to gain more public sympathy.

Well, he would definitely need more sympathy after that awful rumour of him ditching his previous film's heroine after a one-night stand!

Although everyone knows that the movie industry can be fairly immoral, it still casts a shadow over one's public image.

But I do wonder if he ever did it. At least his fans feel he didn't, and I do agree that he seems a little conservative. After all, he hasn't done a single kissing scene yet!

But who knows what he does behind closed doors, one shouldn't trust these celebs. Who knows how they are in real life.

Previously when we worked with a celebrity, that stupid hero of local movies who charged a hefty amount for doing a 30 secs commercial, we all had such a tough time with his tantrums. I hope that doesn't happen with Mr. Aakash Arora. 

Half an hour after the scheduled time, Mr. Aakash arrived. Well, it's still half an hour earlier than what I expected!

Our recently joined intern, Parwan, ran towards him with a cup of Starbucks, as ordered by our boss. Gosh, these rich ppl have such expensive taste, I cannot even imagine having such expensive coffee everyday, multiple times.

"Hello Sir, I got you a cup of latte, you can tell me if you need anything, I am at your service today", Parwan said with a cheek to cheek smile. Probably he's a fan too, he's definitely happy with the work assigned to him today.

Suddenly, a security guard stopped Parwan from handing the cup to Mr. Aakash.

"He doesn't drink store-bought coffee. He drinks coffee from his coffee maker ", the security guard explained.

Did he just call Starbucks coffee worth a thousand bucks "Store-bought coffee"!
Wait, IT IS store-bought, but still...my middle-class broke-self feels extra poor today!

Parwan pulled himself back, he looked so sad not being able to hand over the coffee to Mr. Aakash. 

Just when he was going to turn back, Mr. Aakash stopped him, "It's okay, I will take it since you bought it already. However, for future references, remember that I bring my own coffee, Understood? ", he said with a smile.

He probably didn't wanna disappoint a man who definitely seems to be a fan. Is this called fan-service? I definitely need to brush up my gen-z lingo.

Whatever it was, fanservice or just good manners, it seemed to have made Parwan's day! He had the brighest smile I had ever seen on his face.

As the shoot was about to begin, we entered into the slum. Certain children were instructed to cooperate with us, from all age groups. One of them was pretty small, probably 4 or 5 yrs old, she seemed to be quite ill-at-ease, maybe her parents forced her to do this as every child featuring in this campaign advertisement is going to get some money from the firm.

Before the shooting began I was asked to arrange the children in a way that they are all properly visible in the camera. Swathi, my partner for the day was responsible for helping the camera staff arrange the set-up, and parwan had only one task, to make sure he keeps smiling until Mr. Aakash asks him to stop but he has started looking creepy about 10 mins ago!
