The next morning, the film crew arrived at the grand Kapoor Haveli.
Vans, equipment, and busy crew members filled the courtyard.

Ronit, the charming male lead, arrived shortly after.

Tripura and Ronit exchanged greetings, their professional rapport evident in their casual yet respectful conversation.

They sat together briefly, discussing their choreography and the essence of the song.

Meanwhile, the director roamed the premises and stopped in awe when he spotted the sprawling Kapoor garden.
"This is perfect!" he exclaimed. "The fountain, the trees, the grand layout - it's exactly what I had in mind."

He approached Ram, asking for permission to shoot in the garden.
Ram nodded politely. "Of course. The garden is yours for the shoot."

--------------

The sun dipped low, casting hues of orange and pink across the sky as the garden transformed into a magical set.

Fairy lights were strung across the trees, lanterns lit the pathways, and the central fountain glistened under soft golden light.

Tripura emerged from her vanity van, wearing a maroon and gold Anarkali.
Her dupatta flowed gracefully behind her, and her hair framed her face in soft curls. Her kohl - lined eyes shimmered under the lights, carrying a depth that could captivate anyone.

Ronit stood waiting, dressed in an off - white sherwani with intricate gold embroidery.

The chemistry between the two actors was undeniable - effortlessly professional yet warm.

Ram stood at a distance, watching as Tripura walked onto the set. His eyes followed her every movement, a soft yet unreadable expression on his face.

His family members stood behind him, all equally captivated by the grand scene unfolding before them.

Dadi, though initially hesitant, now admired Tripura's dedication and professionalism.

The director's voice cut through the air, "Alright guys, places... Camera rolling in 3.... 2..... 1.. and.. ACTION!"

The opening notes of 'Ishq Sufiyana' filled the air, creating an enchanting atmosphere.

Rab ki qawwali hai ishq koi, dil ki diwali hai ishq koi
The camera zoomed in on Tripura as she walked gracefully towards the fountain, her dupatta trailing behind her like a soft whisper. Her eyes looked deeply into the lens, carrying a mixture of longing and vulnerability.

Mahki si pyali hai ishq koi, subah ki lali hai ishq
Ronit entered the frame, walking slowly towards Tripura. They circled the fountain, maintaining eye contact as the song's haunting melody wrapped around them.

Girta sa jharna hai ishq koi, uthta sa kalma hai ishq koi
Saanson mein lipta hai ishq koi...
Aankhon mein dikhta hai ishq
Tripura raised her hands slightly, her body moving fluidly with the music, almost as if she was weaving poetry with her movements. Ronit mirrored her gestures, their synchronization flawless.
She twirled, her dupatta swirling around her, creating an almost surreal vision. Ronit extended his hand, and she took it gracefully.
