*Author's POV*
Evan and Ritvik walked into a cosy coffee shop, a quaint blend of rustic charm and modern flair. The air was filled with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee, mingling with the soft hum of conversation. They settled into a corner booth, their usual spot.
A waiter, a familiar face, approached their table with a warm smile. "Good to see you again, Mr.Chaucham & Mr.Joshi. The usual?"
"Yes, please," Ritvik replied with a nod. The waiter promptly brought their coffee, placing it gently on the table before retreating to attend to other customers.
As they sipped their coffee, the conversation naturally flowed to Evan's career. The soft clink of cups and the gentle murmur of the coffee shop formed the backdrop to their discussion.
"Ritvik," Evan began, his voice tinged with frustration, "Do you know why my last film was a major flop? Despite all the hype and the budget, it just didn't resonate with the audience."
Ritvik leaned back, his eyes thoughtful. "I think it lacked a strong storyline. And honestly, the chemistry with your co-star wasn't there."
Evan sighed, running a hand through his hair. "That's what the audience said too and even Vanshika broke up with me right after the premiere. She said it was my fault the movie flopped."
Ritvik frowned. "But wasn't the movie's failure more about Vanshika's performance? She overacted in the first half and practically didn't act in the second. Everyone knew she was only cast because she's the niece of the best Indian director."
Evan nodded. "Exactly. But she refused to see it that way. She needed someone to blame, and I was the easiest target and despite all the love I gave, she chose to break up."
Ritvik reached across the table, giving his hand a reassuring squeeze. "You'll bounce back, Evan. You always do."

Meanwhile, Tia was making waves in the fashion industry. Her sassy attitude and stunning looks made her a favourite among designers and photographers. Yet, she yearned for something more-acting. After months of auditions and rejections, Tia finally landed a movie offer. But there was a catch.
"There's no one who matches your beauty or has the chemistry needed for this role," the director had told her bluntly.
Determined, Tia asked her team to find the perfect co-star. Days turned into weeks, and they still hadn't found anyone suitable. Frustration mounting, Tia decided to take matters into her own hands.
One evening, as she roamed through various studios and sets, she stumbled upon Evan. He was rehearsing lines, his dedication evident in every word and gesture. Tia watched from a distance, an idea forming in her mind.
The next day, she called her manager. "I've found him. His name is Evan Singh Chauhan. Get him onboard."
Her manager was quick to respond, and soon enough, Evan received a call that could change his career.
"Evan Singh Chauhan?" the voice on the other end said. "This is Tia Verma. I'd like to discuss a potential role with you."
Evan was taken aback. He had heard of Tia, the rising star in the modelling world, but they had never met. Curiosity piqued, he agreed to meet her.
