Chapter 1 - The Hero

Money. Good looks. Fame.

Laksh Maheshwari has everything. He owns the Maheshwari Enterprises. Self-made millionaire at the age of 31, he is one of the most intelligent and efficient programmers in the city. However, he doesn't think that he has achieved his best and continues to learn new things. He continues to push himself harder and harder to reach the top.

Girls go crazy over him. His looks and his smile will easily make any girl fall for him. Everyday, in front of the gate of his company, girls would be standing there just to get a glimpse of him. One smile of his was enough to keep them happy for days to come.

However, he didn't like all the female attention that he got. He believed in true love and refused to have any relation with any girl until he was sure that it was the one for him. Unfortunately, he didn't realize that this made him all the more desirable to the girls.

There are few who do not know about him, considering the fact that his face is in the front page of the newspaper almost everyday. However, never has fame clouded his judgement or morals. He respects each and every employee and associate of his for their work, no matter what their position. He even donates to the orphanages. He had kept this fact hidden, but the media found it. This only shows how little he cares for fame and popularity.

One would think that the parents of such an individual would be so blessed that his son earns so much. They need not lift a finger to do anything. Their son would bring and place everything in front of them.

Right?

Wrong!

"This is ridiculous! Why are you so stubborn, dad?!"

"Laksh beta, try to understand. I don't want to achieve my goals on your money."

"Why!? Its your money as well. I'm your son. I earn for my family! For you, Uttara and Maa! Then why won't you accept my help?!" Laksh shouted, pissed off at his father. He had an enterprise for goodness sake! Yet, his father was drowning in debt from the money that he had taken to produce films.

Films which had flopped terribly. However, his father refused to take Laksh's help.

Ram came and placed a hand on his son's shoulder. "Laksh beta, I understand your concern. But being a director on my own efforts was my childhood dream. I could take your money and make a film. But then I would have to live with the fact that I couldn't achieve my dream on my own efforts. I don't want that beta."
