Varun Dhawan

"I'm saying it again Varun, keep your reins under control till the movie is out," Karan tells me crossly for the hundredth time "There is nothing more detrimental to a movie's box office performance than a controversy" he gives out his well-woven advice.

I roll my eyes at him, yes actually I'm doing that stuff a lot now, rolling eyes and all as I have discovered that it helps me to emote better on screen.

"I'm out of your school, Karan" I remind him. I wish he would stop telling me what to do as it has been a while since my first movie was released. But I can't argue with him as he is a big reason I'm where I am.

"I still have my wings over you" he smirks. I bow my head gratefully "Thank you Daddy, for watching over me" I say almost too sardonically.

"Now go" he rebukes arranging papers on his table "I'm already behind my schedule" he whines and I scurry out of his office. There is a row of men waiting for him to meet them outside.

As soon as I get inside the SUV my cellphone rings. I let out a sigh at the caller and plaster a smile on my face as I answer the phone "Hey babes"

"Hey Baby...whatcha doin?" Sonam says much too sweetly.

"I told you I was at Karan's office" I have no idea why am I irritated.

"What was that old hag saying?" she sniggers out a laugh.

"Sonam. I know he is a bit prudish but little respect please" I beg her as I don't like anyone making fun of my mentor except me.

"Grow up kiddo" she slams me "Anyways be ready at 8. You are coming with me for today's Cine award show. Do you want me to pick you up? Or.. "

"Wait a sec..I never said I was going" I stress out. One thing I hate most about her is taking me for granted.

"Oh! but you are darlin'..ahh.. I love calling you that..darlin' darlin' stand by me.." she breaks into terrible singing but it puts a smile on my face reminding me of reasons why I began liking her.

"Sonam....Sonam!" I cut her singing off. "I wish I could stand by you, but I was just reprimanded by my mentor to keep a low profile..and seeing with you again publicly will only fuel the gossip" I explain to her.

"Do you think I care? I don't give a shit about what people have to say. So you are coming with me that's final. There is no 'no' to this statement" she states defiantly and I want to smack her.

"Sonam I have dance rehearsal tonight. We will be shooting a promo song tomorrow. I have to be present at the rehearsal, I can't skip it, okay? Please understand babes" I have been pleading with her a lot lately.

"Hmm..so this is it then. I ask for one simple request and you turn me off?" she demands coldly like a nagging wife.

I remain quiet as an answer.

"Okay, Varun I get it. I always knew this is how it was going to end anyways" her voice sounds put off.

"Sonam please don't take it in wrong way" I request her.

"What other way is there to take it then?" she fumes "You have been avoiding me for a while now...whenever I ask you to accompany me, either you are way too busy shooting or traveling..it's all about priorities Varun, and right now I'm not one of them" She argues.

"You are right. My career is my top priority right now. C'mon, I'm 25 years old what else do you expect from me? Even in the beginning, it had been my career first, I never said I'd be devoting my life to you, did I?" I say venting all the angst that had been building up for some time now.

There is a long silence at the other end and I check my phone to see if the call is still on.

"You will pay for this" she threatens and I hear a beep sound as she cuts the call.

I sigh relieved. I knew the breakup was coming up but never thought I would be doing it on the phone. Maybe I should text her later and ask her to meet somewhere so that I can break her heart properly.

Don't judge me for being so ruthless. I didn't know what I was getting into when I started dating her. Balancing my schedule and her mood swings was taking its toll on my handsome face.

Love and relationships can wait as there is a lot I have to prove to this world. Being the son of a well-known director gave me some perks in the industry initially. But if I don't work hard and with sincerity, the silver spoon that I was born with will slip away from my mouth one day.

I'm eagerly looking forward to the dance rehearsals as the dance steps are set by my all-time favorite choreographer Sarojji. Dancing is the best part of my job.

As I reach the studio I get a call. I look up at the caller ID in confusion. Why would Karan be calling me again when I met him this morning?

"What have you done, you jackass!" Karan hollers over the phone "What the hell did you say to Sonam?" he counters.

"Nothing...wait how did..she called you?" I ask bewildered.

"No stupid. Check the idiot box. Just today when I told you to stay away from controversy, you got into the biggest one"

I drop my phone and scuttle towards the control room. There are a few spotboys watching random matches on tv when I snatch the remote from them. I stop on chessiest gossip channel.

The hostess with a high annoying voice is exhilarated on the show like she has discovered aliens somewhere.

"Hello and welcome to the greatest revelation on earth. Sonam Kapoor lashes out at her rumored boyfriend Varun Dhawan!!! Her latest interview spills beans about her much talked about link up with Varun Dhawan..here is the clip"

My heart has stopped its thumping sounds under my chest as Sonam comes in the picture. She is dressed like she has just returned from some Hollywood premiere.

Interviewer: So Sonam let's talk about your relationship status. Are you single again?

Sonam: Always was.

Interviewer: Really? Then what about Varun Dhawan.

Sonam: Varun! Ha ha!! He is still such a kid.

Interviewer: What do you mean by that?

Sonam: Varun and I, we are just friends who occasionally like to enjoy 'coffee' together..ha ha..but the thing is no matter how much I want..Varun couldn't just have his coffee....you know what I mean..hahahha

Interviewer: So are you implying that Varun is not man enough for you?

Sonam: I'm not implying anything. Anyways such things are too personal to be shared.

Before I realize what I am doing I lift the chair and flank it at the TV set. But thankfully the chair is made of plastic so it doesn't do any harm. I spun around and I'm greeted by the gawking faces of people. Some even have the audacity to move their eyes up and down my body stopping in the middle for nano second.

I storm out of the studio and bang the door of my SUV shut.

That Bitch!

"Today I'll show you how much of a man I am!" I say out loud as I thrust my leg on the accelerator.
