Lights, Camera, SHAKHI !!

6. Game is ON

"No Shaurya this is not right there is a proper program to train someone in martial arts and you've already given me less than 8 weeks!!
I'll only teach her few attacking and defending techniques.
Intense training is not required when body double will be doing the risky stunts."

Shaurya : No, she will be doing all of that!

"What..? Did you ask her..? Did she signed the contract? Show me!"

Shaurya : I'll ask her today only..... Actually wait let me call her right now
If she agreed then you have to do whatever I told you and if she doesn't then we will cast someone else! It's simple.

"Ok!"

Anokhi (at door) : Sir did you called me?

Shaurya : Yes, come in, Miss Bhalla meet Mr Lee he is a Martial artist and he will be teaching you some techniques which will help you in the film.
And Mr Lee she is Anokhi Bhalla your student.

Lee (forwarding his hand) : Hello Anokhi !

Anokhi smiles and they shake hands

Shaurya : So Miss Anokhi I've decided that all the stunts will be performed by you only, since it's my first action film so I want to make it the best hence no proxy.

Anokhi : What!! Par maine aajtak aisa kuch nahi kiya h aur ab ekdam se ye sab kaise....!?

Shaurya : I think aapko ye shuru se pta tha ki ye ek action film hogi and nothing comes in your hand without trying! You have to fight for it.... Par aapke pass abhi bhi time hai aap chahe to backout kar sakti h we've no problem with it (Shaurya smirks)

Anokhi : No I can't loose it (she murmured)

Shaurya : But it will be going to be difficult, you can think once again.

After a pause

Shaurya : It's ok aapke pass time h aapka jo bhi faisla ho shaam tk mujhe bta dijiyega....

———————————
Anokhi (in her mind) :
Nhi Nikki tu itni badi opportunity apne hath se nahi jane de sakti aur thode stunts hi to karne h...., 2-3 foot ki deewar to tu bachpan mai bhi kudd leti thi ye sab bhi ho hi jaege...

At Sabherwal House

Devi : Yeh tum kya keh rahe ho Shaan aur tumne ye soch bhi kese liya ki hum Aastha ki kisi student ko apni film m cast karenge..!!?

Shaan : Bhabhi pehli baat to Anokhi Bhalla ko maine uski kabiliyat dekhkar select kiya h na ki vo kiski student hai ye dekhkar
Aur dusri baat ye film aur ye production house mera h to jo mujhe theek lagega mai vahi karunga

Devi (irritated) : Shaan par Aastha—

Shaan (cuts Devi in between) : Please bhabhi mujhe is baare m ab koi baat nhi karni..!

Shaan exits

Devi (to herself) : Isse baat karne ka to koi matlab nahi h mujhe Shaurya se hi baat karni hogi..!
Us Aastha ko mai kabhi apne bete ki zindagi mai vapas nahi aane dungi..!

Evening, Shaurya's cabin

Badi maa : Shaurya mai bas kuch dino ke liye Haridwar gayi thi aur yaha itna sab ho gya Aastha ne kya kiya ab..? kis ladki ko bheja h yaha... Anokhi Bhalla yahi naam h na..?

Anokhi came to Shaurya's cabin to let him know about her decision but she gets stopped at the door listening her name

Shaurya : Aap chinta mat kijiye badi maa.. use mai dekh lunga and most probably vo aaj hi yaha se chali jaegi (shaurya smirks)

Badi maa (sighs in relief) : Chalo ye to acha h...! Jitna jaldi ho sake nikalo use yaha se..! Humari zindagi mai na Aastha ki aur na hi uski kisi student ke liye koi jagah h..

Shaurya : Ji badi maa

Badi maa left from back door

Anokhi (enters his cabin) : Oh to aap ye sab jaan bujhkr kar rahe hai

Shaurya (trying to ignore) : What..?

Anokhi : Yeh body double ka idea drop krna sare stunts mujhse karwana...!

Shaurya : Listen Miss Bhalla I don't owe you an explanation. and I never forced you! agar aapko ye sab nahi karna h to you are free to leave.

Anokhi (in challenging tone) : Not at all Mr Sabherwal !! if you are doing all this just because I'm your mother's student then watch me now.. Mai kahin nahi jane vali !

Shaurya (pointing finger at her) : Don't you dare call her my mother and stay away from my personal life.

Anokhi : I never crossed my line Shaurya sir, here you are the one who is mixing personal and professional life.
And if you really want it in this way
then The Game is ON
Mai bhi dekhti hu aap mujhe kese replace karte h!

Shaurya : Then get ready to face the challenges from tomorrow Miss Bhalla.

And Shaurya stormed out of his cabin

————————————

Anokhi (to herself) :
Samajhte kya h apne aap ko inhe lagta h sab inke hisab se hona chahiye par ab esa nhi hoga atleast not with me!
Agar kuch dino baad inhone khud "Anokhi you are perfect for this role." Nahi kaha na to mera naam bhi Anokhi Bhalla nahi.

Shaurya walking restlessly in the corridor

Shaurya (to himself) :
What does she think of herself ?? she is challenging me...! Shaurya Sabherwal...!! Huh! Mai bhi dekhta hu kab tak rehti h ye yaha..!

——————————————

Anokhi grabbed her things and started moving towards the office exit
Shaurya was at the exit, he saw her and gave an angry look, Anokhi too looked at him with same expression and walked through the corridor keeping her eyes locked at him.

At Anokhi's Flat

Varun : What...!? No body double are you serious

Anokhi (sitting on the sofa) : Yes!

Varun : Dekh Nikki maine pehle hi kaha tha agar Sabherwals ko pata chala to vo tujhe bilkul cast nhi karenge

Reema : Par ye to thik nahi h na Varun vo apne personal issues mai Anokhi ko kyu include kar rahe h

Anokhi : Exactly my point.

Varun : Vo sab jo bhi ho mai to tujhe yahi suggest karunga ki inse panga lene ka koi fayda nhi h....! Tujhe kal red cherry valo ka bhi call aaya tha na vaha try karle...

Anokhi : Nahi Varun now it's between me and Shaurya sir and I don't want him to feel that he can win over me!

Varun : Zidd mat kar Anokhi

Anokhi gave an angry look to Varun

Varun : Acha acha thik h par dhyaan rakhna apna... Aur koi bhi problem ho to call me.

Anokhi : Hmm..
