SidNaaz

Does everything happen for a reason?

What role does destiny play when two strangers meet for the first time? Were they meant to meet? Did their souls just make them do whatever it takes to guide them towards one another?

Do souls always find a way if they are meant to be?

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

Shehnaaz and Sidharth enter the BB13 house not knowing what lies ahead. While Shehnaaz is just happy to be there and starts talking to people with an open mind, Sidharth takes time to open-up. He remains cautious of the situation and the people around, trying to make a sense of the different energies which were going to co-exist in that house for the next few months.

Funnily enough, he sees the in-house Katrina Kaif guffawing around with people. He further notices her distinct raw accent and filmy style of exaggerated reactions and loud outbursts of laughter. She had a whole lot of positive energy and exuded innocence, her happy vibe easily rubbing on people. He then remembers the moment of their fleeting eye-contact on stage, but brushes of the feeling thinking that she might not have noticed as she was way too absorbed with what was happening around her.

Shehnaaz on the other hand starts talking to everyone and getting a sense of their nature. She notices that some people easily open-up to her and some hold on to an unnecessary air of being a celebrity. She sees Paras trying to be extra sweet to her as they were clearly told that the show will all be about making connections. She also realizes that she was one of the youngest contestants in the house and easily the most grounded.

Suddenly, she feels a strong presence around her and from the corner of her eyes sees that it is none other than Sidharth Shukla, masquerading around the house as if it were his own. She feels slightly intimidated with his personality and makes a mental note of never messing with him. She also feels a deep sense of respect towards him understanding the fact that Sidharth is pretty senior in the industry. Caught up in the tirade going on in her mind, she does not realize that Sidharth is walking towards her with a soft smile on his face. She gives him a warm smile and turns around leaving hurriedly, not sure why she is fleeing from him.

Then, Big Boss' booming voice resounds within the house welcoming them and wishing them luck for their stay in the house. Dinner is served and slowly the housemates go to bed with their assigned bed partners. Funnily enough Shehnaaz is paired with Sidharth Dey, the writer, who happily snores into the night keeping the other housemates awake. Sidharth shares his bed with Reshmi Desai, his past co-actor. For reasons not known to her, Shehnaaz feels uneasy seeing Sidharth sharing his bed with Reshmi. Her mind goes into an overdrive thinking of the history which they might have had, having worked with each other, but she quickly nudges herself back to reality and gets on with cracking jokes with other housemates about Dey's loud snores.

Hearing a slight sound from her right, she looks around and again has an eye contact with Sidharth. She feels an unknown connection with him and they both share a smile, sighing at the snoring situation they were in. Having gone through the hectic schedule of the day, they both crash into their respective beds and within minutes fall asleep.

Shehnaaz has a distinct dream of standing alone in a dark room with nothing but a blue door on one side. From the peels of darkness that engulfs her, she can feel that there is a bright light on the other side of the door, and she needs to get to the other side. She stares at the door and tries to figure out a way to open it and come out of the room. As if made evident by her mind, she knows that only her saying the right keyword aloud can open it. So, she doesn't try to push the door or open it by force, but simply thinks hard trying to figure out the right keyword. What exactly is it?

Moment later, a loud music starts playing and the house is flooded with light, a customary waking up technique followed in the Bigg Boss house. Shehnaaz and Sidharth wake up with a jolt.
