Tum Se Hi

THE SWAG OF PUNJABIS

हो कैसी लगन है यार
लगी जो इस बार
राती दिन बस नाम तेरा रेटया

हो तेरा चढेया खुमार
तेरे बिन मेरे यार
जग में नहीं कुछ रखया

SIGNING THE CONTRACT

Ishita's POV

I am at the LUV FILMS STUDIOS to sign my debut movie!!! I struggle between looking elegant and composed vs my goofy self who wants to dance her heart out of excitement. When I enter, I introduce myself to cast members. I see one person standing in a corner talking to someone on the phone. As I am chatting with the others, someone taps on my shoulder. I turn. Wait a minute, I recognize this person. Ibrahim Ali Khan (Saif Ali Khan's son) He smiles and extends his hand, "Hey Ishita! How are you?" I reciprocate, "Hey Ibrahim! I'm doing great, how are you?" "I'm also doing great" he replies. We are interrupted by Luv Sir. "Hey everyone! Sorry for interrupting your conversations but we gotta go in and have you guys sign your contracts." he says. We smile widely and enter.

Luv Sir introduces the cast and their characters. Ibrahim is playing Raghav, my character Saloni's love interest. "I want a favor from you all. I want your guys' available dates for the next month. Though we will start the movie shoot in about 2 months from now but we are trying to plan some photoshoots and a song shoot before that. So we will arrange it according to everyone's availability." Luv sir informs us and we nod. He continues, "The song is a party number and includes you guys and the cast from the two previous parts of the PKP franchise." The minute I hear that, my eyes open wide in surprise. Is Kartik also a part of this song is the first question that pops into my head. I pray for the answer to be yes. I raise my hand in tiny to ask Luv sir the same. "Yes Ishita, KARTIK AARYAN WILL ALSO BE A PART OF THE SONG!" Luv sir says and smiles widely looking at me. I grin and clap my hands like a child saying, "Niceeeeeeeee." and hear the others laugh at my excitement.

We all chat for a while after signing our contracts and the Ibrahim who was all calm and composed in the beginning, actually turns out to be a typical desi guy which is fun because I didn't wanna be shooting for 4 months with someone who didn't interact or crack jokes and was serious all the time. I know it sounds rude but a chill environment with funny people really helps set the mood and it's even more important for Pyaar ka Punchnama which is a comedy film. I am so excited to tell Abhishek that I'll be working with Kartik Aaryan, that too in my first film! The rest of the cast is also great to hang out with.

IBRAHIM's POV

I recognize Ishita the minute I see her. She's been the talk of the town since her very first project and I have seen some of the clips from her interviews on Instagram. Her bond with Abhishek Sharma is also in talks but I think she'll look better with me. When I met her and we talked, I noticed she is a very bubbly person and she's very attractive as well. She's doesn't pretend like a lot of girls do and she isn't uncomfortable to show her childish fun side to the world. It wouldn't be wrong to say that I am kinda attracted to her.

THIRD POV

An interview is scheduled to officially announce the cast of PKP. All the 6 members and Luv Ranjan answer the questions from the reporters. The members begin to get comfortable and come across the different types of questions. A reporter asks Ishita, "People are saying all kinds of stuff about you and Abhishek Sharma. I want to know what are you guys? Also, all the SRH fans think you are unlucky for him. I think you should stay away for your own good. To ab aap dono ka kya decision hoga?"

Ishita struggles to even process what the reporter said. She is mad, frustrated, and annoyed. She rolls her eyes and scoffs as she sarcastically says, "Inko mic kisne de diya yaar?" and hears people laughing. "Respected sir, don't worry. I will answer all your questions. By the way mere aage to bol dia ye sab but Abhishek ke aage galti se bhi mat bolna. Vo aapke ghar aake aapko peetega kasam se." People can be heard giggling.
