The next day first scene was set in a quaint, rustic café, designed to look like a charming, old-world spot tucked away in a quiet corner of the city.

In the scene, their characters were having a conversation for the first time.

Sara walked onto the camera, dressed in a light yellow kurti and loose hair without any makeup.

The director called for silence on set, and the crew took their positions, ready to capture the unfolding drama.

"Mera naam Aashvi hain...Aashvi Sharma"

"Main Anshu Gupta"

Kartik's character was the first to speak after they sat against each other, his expression cool and detached, but his eyes betraying a flicker of curiosity.

Kartik leaned back in his chair, studying her."Tumhe iss sab se kya milega?"

She took a breath before answering, her voice soft but firm. "Main jawab dena jaruri nahi samajhti...main tumhari help karungi par iske badle mujhe paise chahiye aur ek nayi pehchan"

"Main sahi ladka hu ki nahi yeh janna jaruri nahi hain tumhare liye?"

"Nahi" she replied shortly.

"To ab?" he asked.

"Ab tumhari family ko impress karna hain..paar ese kese jau?"

"Woh manage ho jayega..."

"Accha"

The director called "Cut," and the tension in the room dissipated as the crew began resetting for the next take.

Their povs during that interaction would be shoot at the dubbing studio.

Then they have some more shots taken. Kartik completed a scene with Nina ji and Gajraj Sir.

During a break, they got some time alone,

"Abhi bhi dard hain?" he asked.

"Bilkul nahi ab dekhne se bhi pata nahi lag raha ki chot kabhi lagi thi...redness bhi nahi hain"

Suddenly his phone rang and a smile crept.

"Hi, mummy," Kartik greeted, his voice softening as he picked the call up and saw his mother.

"Hi beta...kya haal chal? Busy shooting?" she asked, her voice filled with affection.

"Yeah, we're on a break right now. It's going well," Kartik replied, glancing around the set.

"Your uncle and aunty are expecting you to pay a visit so if..." his mom asked.

"I don't know mummy wakt milega to jaroor" he smiled.

"Is Sara there?" his mom asked, a hint of excitement in her voice.

His eyes instinctively landed on Sara, who was standing behind, adjusting her costume with the help of a crew member.

"Haan..."

Sara quickly came behind and leaned as he was sitting, "Namastey Aunty...kesi ho aap"

"Main acchi hu beta tum kesi ho" his mom's voice was warm and full of affection.

She took the phone from him and they started talking. Kartik indicated her to sit down and she sat beside him.

He leaned against the couch, crossing his arms as he watched the interaction unfold. There was something about seeing his mom and Sara connect that filled him with warmth.

"Don't let Kartik boss you around on set, ok?" his mom joked at one point of conversation, making Sara laugh softly.

"Don't worry, Aunty, I'm the one bossing him around most of the time," Sara teased, glancing over at Kartik with a playful smirk. He was just adoring them.
