SidNaaz - Soulmates in the journey of self-discovery?

#12

The next morning starts with a different kind of energy in the house. As the morning song starts playing Shehnaaz wakes up with a start and is blinded by the sudden light, she immediately goes back to hide her face in Sidharth's chest. Sidharth too wakes up only to hug her tight, both wait for the song to get over. Slowly, they sit up and Shehnaaz gives Sidharth a feeble smile.

Sidharth trying to change the mood says, 'Tujhe iss ney bahar torture kiya hai na?' Shehnaaz nods her head. 'Toh chal milkar iski band bajate hai! Isne agar over smartness dikhayi toh isko milkar hum log washroom mein band kar denge.'and looks at Sana with an expectant smile sounding silly.

Sana's eyes widen and she says, 'Pagal hai tu? Log bolenge ki maine jaan bujh ke isko band kar diya!'

Sidharth: 'Aree yaar, tu na ajeeb behave kar rahi hai yaar. Mujhe nay eh wali Sana nahi chahiye, mujhe to who wali Sana achchi lagti hai joh hamesa hasti rehti hai aur jise dekh kar mera man bhi khush ho jata hai! Yeh Shehnaaz rondu hai, rotey hue aur bhi moti lagti hai!'

Hearing this Sana softly smiles and says, 'Mujhe dekh kar tera mann khush hota hai, Sidharth? Eise toh bohot bolta hai ki mein moti hoon, mein bewakuf hoon, gadhi hoon? Aab tarif kyun kar raha hai. Dekha sachchai samne aa gayi na. Jhutha kahika'

Sidharth: 'Aab mein kya karu moti. Tu dukhi jo hai. Tu dukhi rahegi to mera kaam kaun karega. Gadhi to tu hai hi na to tujhe bewakoof bana raha hoon mein firse. Chal aab chill kar, nahito mujhe Himanshi sey dosti karni paregi. Kyunki, tu mujhe apne dukhde suna suna key pakayegi'

Sana fakes being angry and says 'Haaye rabba kitna ganda hai tu, Sidharth. Chal mein tere sey baat nahi karti.' And tries getting out of the bed.

Sidharth bursts out laughing and catches hold of her wrist unwilling to let her go, till the time her face too breaks into a smile.

As the day progresses Bigg Boss announces the task for the week titled, 'Shehnaaz ka Swayamvar', wherein all the housemates will be divided into two teams – one of Sidharth's and one of Paras and both these men will contest to win Shehnaaz's heart in the Swayamvar.

Rashmi and Bhau become Shehnaaz's parents who would help her choose her groom.

Shehnaaz gets happy being the center of attraction and starts getting ready. She decks up in a red Patiala suit and looks like the prettiest bride to be. She starts coming out of the living room to find Sidharth and seek his opinion on which pair of ear rings to wear with this dress.

Meanwhile, Paras, who has always been cunning, realizes that he needs to cozy up to Shehnaaz to win this task and start showering Shehnaaz with all his attention.

Seeing her coming out, he follows her and says, ' Kya lag rahi hai tu Shehnaaz, tujhe dekh kar koi bhi ladka pagal hi ho jayega. Mujhe pata hai tu Sidharth ki dost hai par mujhe bhool mat jana. Mein bhi poori koshish karunga tujhe impress karne ka taaki tera pati ban paoon, task mein hi sahi. Tu itni cute hai yaar, mera dil mat todna.'

Shehnaaz in all her innocence blushes hearing Paras and smiles at him.

Sidharth who has been noticing Paras downright flirting with Shehnaaz starts coming towards them. He sees Shehnaaz's smile at Paras which somewhere pinches his feeling.

As he gets closer Paras realizes that Sidharth is coming towards them, he quickly grabs Sana's hand and says, 'Tu apne earrings lekar ghum kyun rahi hai, dey mujhe mein tujhe pehna deta hoon,' and puts a pair in Shehnaaz ears. He then continues, 'Tu kitni sundar lag rahi hai, Shehnaaz. Real mein mere sey shaadi kar le,' and hugs her.

Shehnaaz not knowing how to react lets him hug her.

Sidharth looking at all of these, gets slightly miffed and leaves the place not willing to encroach upon their privacy.

Meanwhile, Himanshi starts spewing venom against Sana, trying to play the victim card infront of other housemates. She does that slowly in absence of Sana to gain sympathy and show her in negative light.

The task begins with both the sides trying to woo Shehnaaz and get her attention. Shehnaaz welcomes this change in the atmosphere and sings and dances to her heart's content.

She calls on Sidharth and Paras to perform for her. While Paras recites a flirty poem for her. Sidharth comes forward and offer his hand to Shehnaaz to request her for a dance. To which Shehnaaz smiles and comes forward holding Sidharth. They dance to a peppy number and laugh their hearts out, with Sidharth momentarily forgetting the scene with paras. Their equation has no vendetta. It is natural admiration for each other devoid of any plan or negativity.

Paras starts getting up to get Shehnaaz dance with him, but Sidharth swiftly drags Shehnaaz to the side giving him a I-know-it-all look. Paras cowers back to his seat.

The task goes on with the housemates enjoying themselves with light hearted jokes and cheers.

Meanwhile, Himanshi who was in Sidharth's team starts looking for a reason to chat with Sidharth. She starts sharing her inputs for the task stating the fact that She knows Shehnaaz from beforehand, hence knows her likings and dislikes. The team too gets swayed in her manipulation and start grouping with her. Sidharth too gives in and start hearing her out as he wants his team to win.

Shehnaaz notices this from far and gets slightly miffed with Sidharth talking to Himanshi, for far too long for her comfort, but brushes away the feeling reminding herself of the promise which Sidharth has made to her.

At night, after the task gets over, Paras comes up with a plan to woo Shehnaaz further when Sidharth has let his guards down. He cooks special dinner for Shehnaaz and lays down the table for her. He then requests Shehnaaz to eat while his team members gather around and start pampering her. Shehnaaz gets overwhelmed with all the attention and thanks them for taking so much of efforts for her. While she knows this is all for the game, she can't help feeling glad for the efforts taken for her.

Seeing this, Sidharth's competitive nature strikes and he gets miffed with Shehnaaz for getting swayed by the fake efforts of the other team.

Eventually, Shehnaaz goes to the changing area to change for the night and Sidharth too follows her.

Shehnaaz still dazed from the entire day events blurt out with a wide smile, 'Sidharth tune dekha un logo ney mere liye special dinner banaya! Kitnaa tarif kar rahe they mere sab aur mere age piche ghum rahe the!'

'Ha to fir itna khush hona hai to jaa Paras key pass, humlog waise bhi kuch nahi kar rahe hai tere liye! Agar tujhe lagta hai ki tere liye Paras jyada care karta hai, to fir janaa, mujhe irritate mar kar.' comes a curt reply from Sidharth.

Shehnaaz gets taken aback with Sidharth's outburst. She does not like his tone and her earlier memory of Sidharth too chatting with Himanshi comes back. She angrily responds: 'Tu kyun badhak raha hai mere upar. Tu bhi kuch kar leta mere liye par tere liye to Himanshi sey baat karni zaroori thi jyada. Tu bol bhi raha tha subah ki use dosti kargea. Khud to kuch karna hai nahi, log karein to usme bhi problem?'

To this Sidharth too loses his cool and says, 'Kya boli mein Himanshi key saath baat kar raha tha? Mein use baat kar raha hai kyunki who tujhe pehle sey janti hai aur who mere team mein hai aur ideas dey rahi thi.'

Sana: 'Abb tu Himanshi sey mere liye idea lega? Tu ek kaam kar Sidharth, kal sey side mein behta rehna aur chill karna. Paras kar lega jo bhi karna hai.' and storms away.

Sidharth fails to process what just happened and decides to stay away from Shehnaaz.

That night Sidharth and Shehnaaz sleep in separate places. While Sidharth sleeps in his bed, Sana rests on the living room sofa. Paras seeing Shehnaaz sleeping alone takes advantage and sweet talks her to share his bed with him and Reshmi. He proclaims his friendship for her and promises to stand by her.

Shehnaaz in her emotional vulnerability fails to recognize his vindictiveness and naively decides to share his bed.

Sidharth wakes up with a start in the middle of the night and goes looking for Shehnaaz, when he finds her in Paras' bed, he gets hurt and resigns to maintain his distance from her.
