Adrien has already spent two days in the academy, and because he was with his lover, he was having a lot more fun than he had at the Agreste Business. Even after being with him for years because she still loved him, Marinette felt uncomfortable around him. Despite being busy, Esha was on track with her teaching responsibilities and loved spending time with her students these days. Esha overheard someone snickering and saying hurtful comments one day while they were strolling by New York City's buildings. She could not realize someone was crying in front of a poor woman her own age. The woman was being harmed and kicked by Lila Rossi, Marinette's greatest enemy ever and the world's worst liar. "Get your dirty words and hands off her, Lila!" As soon as Esha's brown eyes made contact with Lila's sly green ones, they immediately changed direction. "How dare you tell me what to do, you brat!" "You are harming her both mentally and physically, which is wholly against the laws of the city of New York. If you open your mouth once more, I'll alert the security officers." Esha shouted for help as the school's police ran at her."Oh, and what do you have against me?" "Guards, she was harming and causing pain to that girl. Arrest her right away." Lila said, "I will be back sooner than you think!" as the police hauled her over to the police car. Esha then carefully observed the girl, and it was clear that she had seen her previously. "I really appreciate your helping me." "Lila has no right to approach you. Marinette Dupain- Cheng and Adrien Agreste are my buddies, and I go by Esha." "My name is Ashi Singh." "Oh my, you're Ashi, the famous actress from the TV shows Meet and Aladdin! I love you dearly." Marinette leaped up and down while screaming."You can call Ashi. I announce that this is the beginning of our friendship because you saved me. What do you think?" They all gave her hugs and agreed. Since that time, the three females have been a trio, and because they had a lot in common, their friendship was even better. They talked for days about their fascinating lives, lost loves, and favored pastimes. The two girls helped Esha in whatever way possible when they all decided to move to New York City. Ashi and the other two went out shopping at the mall one day. Ashi felt as though the world was spinning as they were leaving and fell down the stairs, smashing into the granite. "Ashi!" Running to their best friend, Marinette, and Esha discovered her with her eyes closed and a bloody forehead. Esha instantly dialed the ambulance, and after they carried her inside and put a bed inside, they drove to St. Peter Hospital with them in their car. As she received oxygen, they placed a nasal cannula over her mouth and nose in the hospital room where she was brought. They wrapped a bandage across her forehead after that. To obtain the reports, Esha and Marinette headed to the doctor's office. "How is she doing, Doctor? Is she alright? "For the time being, yes, but I fear not in the future." Esha experienced something similar to having her breath stolen away. "Why doctor? Does she suffer from any illnesses," Esha asked. "She will soon turn 25; there are only a few years left. She has been issued a diagnosis of lung cancer." Esha began crying while Marinette consoled her. "What can we do to try and save her life?" "There isn't much we can do besides pay the $1200 treatment. This will stop it temporarily, but it does not guarantee that she won't experience it again. Since this is a serious case, she will get it later." They went outdoors together to talk about the issue. "How can we raise the necessary funds? The robber stole money from our bank, so we don't have much left." A tall, handsome man suddenly started walking toward them. "I'll be able to help Ashi." "How do you know about our issue and who are you?" "Siddharth Nigam has been Ashi's best friend since we were in junior high." "Oh my, I apologize again. It's okay; we'll figure something out." "No, I have to pay you for that," He gave them a total of 1,200 dollars in bills to pay the crew. "I'm thankful that you did this! You have no idea how appreciative we are. What can we do to repay the favor?" "You must attend the Diamond Celebrations Ceremony on Saturday on the Red Carpet where all the actors and actresses will be. My proposal?" "Of course, we will." "I hope that Ashi was fine. She plays an important part in my life. She was the one who helped my mum when she needed assistance."

*Flashback, 4 years ago in Mumbai, India

Siddharth's mother was great friends with Ashi, therefore they were nearly like mother and daughter. Ashi has gone shopping with her, prayed to God with her, and helped her in every way since Siddharth's father died last year when he was seventeen. After shopping for Siddharth's birthday present, she and Siddharth's mother decided to treat themselves to lunch outside one day. Siddharth's mother did not see the car that was rushing toward them as they crossed the street. Ashi pushed her to the sidewalk after running the entire distance, but she was smacked in the stomach. His mother cried, "Ashi!" as she became frightened. Siddharth and the ambulance were sent out immediately, and they arrived just in time. As Siddharth became distraught and worried that Ashi might pass away, he raced to carry her to the bed. After a few days, they visited her in the hospital and found that she was doing OK but needed a wheelchair to get around because her foot was weak. She was cared for by Siddharth and his mother, who also fulfilled her requests.

They listened to how sweet she was as Siddharth described the story. Esha and Marinette then drove their car toward the academy as they parted ways and went their separate ways. Since Ashi saved his mother without hesitation, they suddenly had the impression that she was the bravest girl they had ever met. They hoped she would be there for them always and that everything would be well. They frequently paid her hospital visits during the following few days. As soon as everything was okay, she was asked if she would like to walk the red carpet. She enthusiastically agreed, and they both looked forward to the thrill of meeting and speaking with the famous people.
