IN THE ACADEMY DRESSING ROOM

(Manoj is Arnav's coach who runs a academy to train poor students who has passion towards tennis. Arnav always had a liking towards this nature of his coach though he was not poor. Hence he always spends some of his valuable time here when he is in town. Arnav is the favorite of all these young players. He is talking and giving gifts to the students there and Manoj comes there and looks at expensive gifts Arnav had got to his students)

Manoj – How many times to tell you not to get them such costly gifts... its not good Arnie...

Arnav – Master.... Come on....Everytime same dialog.....(Mocks at Manoj and students start laughing)

Manoj – Youuu.... You are spoiling them.....

Arnav – Naaaa when they are getting trained under you they cannot be spoilt...because you teach the lessons of life along with tennis... (he gets emotional)

Manoj – Wah wah.....dialog is of your own or from any movie? (Manoj never liked Arnav getting emotional so he always made the situation light)

Arnav – Master ji..... you will never change (he comes and hugs)

Manoj – I don't want to..... by the by...congrats...5th Wimbledon....I am so happy for you...

Arnav – Thank you ...(Smiles and breaks the hug.....Sheetal unexpectedly comes in there...pitches into the dialog)

Sheetal – Next time you will congratulate me as well Manoj Sir...(Manoj looks at her with a confused expression)...you dint get it?? We both will win the mixed doubles title also .... Right Arnie??

Arnav – Lets see (His face expression changed drastically)

Sheetal – Ok....I that's overconfidence..... Ok Manoj master if not for mixed doubles title...for being his life partner... (Manoj gives a disgusted look as she was speaking this in front of his students)

Manoj – Come on guys....warm up time...on the field...now (he walks to the field...followed by the students)
