A small stage was set up in a vast, unploughed field for the weekend program. One by one, the contestants were welcomed by Aaryan as they entered, flaunting their best dresses and makeup, except for the last contestant.

"Contestant number 10, Shehnaaz," Aaryan called.

Shehnaaz appeared in a plain Punjabi Salwar Kameez, devoid of any fancy or new elements. It seemed to be Prerna's hand-me-downs. Her face bore no trace of makeup, not even a hint of lipstick. She looked more like a simple Indian village girl than a celebrity. Amidst the other contestants' jewelry, her most precious adornment, her smile, was missing.

"Arey, yeh kaun gaon ki chhori hai bhai, jo shooting ke beech mein aa gayi?" Aaryan asked the crew.

"Aaryan," Shehnaaz cried out in annoyance.

"Huh? Awaaz se toh jaani pehchaani lag rahi hai... Ooohh... Shehnaaz? Tum ho? Mujhe laga koi gaon ki chhori, shooting gatecrash karke mujh jaise handsome bande se autograph maangne aayi hai," Aaryan joked.

The other contestants chuckled at his comment. Shehnaaz stared at him and circled around him.

"Kya kar rahi ho, Shehnaaz?" Aaryan asked, confused.

"Nahi, angles check kar rahi thi... Dekh rahi thi tum kaunse angle se handsome lag rahe ho?" Shehnaaz smirked.

"Haaye... What a comeback! Aisa attitude toh bas ek hi ladki mein ho sakta hai, aur woh meri favorite, Shehnaaz ke alawa aur kaun ho sakta hai... By the way, you are looking extremely pretty in your natural gaon ki chhori wali looks," Aaryan praised, bringing back her lost smile.

"Flirt karne ke extra paise mil rahe hai kya tumhe?" Shehnaaz raised her eyebrows.

"Waise mujhe tumhare saath flirt karne ke paise lene ki zarurat nahi hai. Woh toh main free mein kar dunga, but agar producer ji iske paise de rahe hai toh main mana bhi nahi karunga..." Aaryan smirked.

"Producer, iske overacting ke paise kaato..." Shehnaaz ordered, pointing a finger at him. Aaryan and Shehnaaz had a good laugh, which made the other contestants roll their eyes and make a disapproving face.

"Aaryan, hosts are supposed to be unbiased. Tum host hoke kisi ko jyada attention nahi de rahe?" Dia took a dig at Shehnaaz.

"Aaa... Uuumm," Aaryan stared at the director, lost for words.

"Apni-apni aukaat ke hisaab se sabko treatment milti hai, kyu Aaryan?" Shehnaaz indirectly replied, giving a fitting response.

"Huh?" Aaryan fumbled, not knowing what to say.

"Huh! Ab ek bujhta hua diya, ek shining superstar ko aukaat batayega...," Dia scoffed.

"Aasmaan mein chahe jitne bhi sitaare ho, ghar ke andar roshni diye se hi hoti hai... Aur raha sawaal bujhne ka, toh no chance. Kyuki bujh gayi hoti toh kisi ko mujhse jalan kaise hoti? Kyu Aaryan, thik kaha na maine?" Shehnaaz asked.

"Khaamosh!! Jali ko aag kehte hain, bhuji ko raakh kehte hain; jis raakh se barood bane, usse Shehnaaz kehte hain," Aaryan improvised the famous dialogue, mimicking Shatrughan Sinha.

Shehnaaz chuckled, shaking her head in disbelief.

"Toh chaliye ab program ko aage badhate hain. Jaise aapko pata hoga ki aaj weekend dhamaka hai, aur ismein hoga contestants ke beech direct muqabla... Jab tak hamare contestants iss muqable ke liye change karke aate hai, tab tak hum dekhenge kal ke kuch highlights," Aaryan said.

The screen played some highlights, including Ashima's fight over dog pee, Dia getting a pedicure and manicure by Thakur Vikram Singh's maids, Shirley's sensuous dance to entertain the male host of her house, and small glimpses of other contestants.
