There was something different about the hustle bustle of Saiyaara fashion house today. It was because of fear. Fear of a certain Sahir Azeem Chaudhary who was coming today for it was one of his 3 days in a week visit to the fashion house.

Sahir Azeem Chaudhary, the richest man in the country, the one who has businesses worldwide and is very diversified, still spares 3 days every week to visit this particular fashion house that is a tiny part of his huge conglomerate for the only reason that this fashion house, Saiyaara, was started by his late sister, Noor Azeem Chaudhary.

Even though she belonged to the richest family in the country, Noor, at the age of 12 had already decided that she wanted to become a fashion designer and start her own fashion house. By 17 she had already set up a small boutique owing to the investment made by her elder brothers Sahir and Zaki. It was her talent and determination that brought Saiyaara in the ranks of the leading fashion houses after 5 years of hard work. Saiyaara was her baby.

Noor had bigger plans for Saiyaara but all of them faced a major setback when Noor died in an accident. It took one drunk driver to destroy numerous dreams of a 25-year-old girl.

Since after her death, the ownership fell into the hands of Sahir and Zaki. Though Noor died, both the brothers wanted to keep her vestige alive. Saiyaara is close to both of them because of it being the closest thing to their sister. So they take turns in visiting Saiyaara, Zaki is the boss for the first 3 days of the week and the last 3 days are for Sahir. Sunday being the holiday.

Now, Zaki is a fun kind of boss, the one with whom everyone gets along well but Sahir is the one who gets the nicknames like Sadiyal, Khoonkhar, Gabbar etc, that is, the one boss that is too strict and can't be made happy with just trying; you have to be the best, do the best to get his approval. The employees fear him.

****************

Sahir was in the conference room looking at the photographs of models who made it to the final list of candidates for the selection of one who can portray the theme that they have been given for their latest project. Saiyaara was contacted by famous director Rajdeep Kundra to design costumes for his new project which was a passionate love story between a girl with a bad past and a carefree and fun loving guy.

Out of the whole collection, only a few outfits will be used for the movie while the rest of it will be later showcased in a separate fashion show.

They had the costumes ready but they were in search of someone who could exhibit the emotions they wanted to portray through their designs. This particular meeting was held for that purpose only. So right now Sahir was looking at the pictures of the models so selected; they were given one outfit out of the whole collection and were asked to portray the theme, the emotion called passion.

"Junoon." Sahir muttered, "Is this what you call passion? Yeh hai junoon?" he threw the photographs away and slammed a hand on the desk hard, making the employees fear for their lives.

"None of these models have portrayed the emotion of theme correctly. It clearly looks as if they are faking it! Did you seriously choose these not capable models? Is this the quality of Saiyaara?" Sahir's voice boomed in the conference room. He was really angry as they had only a few days time left for the final submission but they still didn't have a model to do the job!

"Ahem, excuse me, sir?!" everybody stared at Tarini, the head designer working on the project.
