Character Introduction

Sidharth Shukla:
A seasoned television actor and a model. The right mix of a bad boy and Mamma's boy. Has had his share of controversies but is know to be a hard worker with great values and work ethics. Is not arrogant but is extremely self assured and confident. Loves his mum and sisters and is as much macho as he is their little boy. The fact that he values women but is so much of a manly man is what drives women crazy and everyone wants to own this mixture of gentle but macho. He enjoys flirting with women, but has a very different set of standards when it comes to sharing his home and heart and bed with anyone. He knows that his home is a sacred place and is careful to guard the beauty and balance of it.

He is very private and protective of his life and will never short change it for more fame and footage, because of this he has been constantly scoffing at the thought of going on a show like Bigg boss where one has to leave privacy and personal space outside that house for 3 months.  The makers this year though were on their top game and he too wanted to do something out of the box for him and his career needed a toss up to keep it interesting and fun. So reluctantly but keenly he now found himself on the show and as anticipated he knew that the makers would bring Rashmi Desai , a co actor and someone he allowed into his inner circle at one point. She was someone who never understood the depth of his personality loyalty and hence undervalued him and then go on to hurt hi. And sour things between them. The makers milked this and they were expecting great content.
One thing about him is that if he is in it he has to win it. So as much as he rejected the show all these years he had decided now to give it all he got and nothing short of the trophy would satisfy. And for that he needed to find a fine balance between following the format of the game yet to not lose his individuality nor compromise on the values of his home and mum. Her pride about him and his sister's expectations from him all that weighed heavily on him as well. He always cringed with disdain at the forced hook ups and fake friendships people made in this house and had decided to be real and authentic and give it all his best.

Shehnaaz Gill :
An extremely talented singer and entertainer from Punjab. Whole hearted and honest. She has seen her share of hardships but her spirit has always stood above and beyond the tests that came her way. She belonged to a conservative yet cultured family. Though she was very close to her mum, life served itself certain situations where she had to always be away from the comfort of her grandparents and her mum. The uncle and aunt with whom she was raised treated her very badly and as a child she not only did not recieve the love any child deserves but she also has to endure a lot of hardships and torture from them. That is exactly what makes this girl so special that she did not allow her bitter experiences to make her bitter. She was part child and part a deeply evolved person. The childishness of hers maybe perhaps because she never got to fully live so she retained it with a vengeance to be able to live it when she can on her own terms. When she realised that she could now make her own dreams she set out on her own against the wishes of her father. Determined to never now allow anyone to dictate what life she should live. She had her honesty and the willingness to work hard and the talent and looks to make it work for her. Or so she thought.
Fame soon followed but because she was young and misguided controversy too followed and once again what she had painfully earned she saw slipping for her fingers. She was ready to give up on life but somehow within her none of her life experiences was able to blow out the light from within her. Her own personality did not allow her to remain sad for long nor did life and destiny.

So this show of Bigg boss was the next life line that came here way and she grabbed it. Vowing to herself that she would be herself and however long she stays she will be herself and even if it is a week she will use that time to replace the bad image a certain Himanshi Khurana someone who used her position of privilege to make a noise louder than the missteps shenaaz made and blew what should have been a small incident out of proportions.
Snehaaz lost a lot of confidence because of this and she ironically came onto the show to find herself , such an intimate journey in such a public platform. She was alone and that was her strength, when she was younger she craved love and affection, it never came her way so she learnt to build herself without it.

Chapter 1
After much preparation and anticipation the day to enter the Bigg boss house has finally arrived. Shenaaz was not nervous but she was keen to not make any mistakes, she is very unaware of the charm she possesses once she hits the stage. It is like the stage reacts to her persona and magically elevates her and ensures she connects with the audience on a very level.

For Sidharth it was a pensive moment, the stage-lights stopped blinding him long time ago but he knew this was a one shot situation which could catapult him to the next level of stardom or steal the existing one right from under his feet.

When the time came for Shehnaaz to choose her connection, she recognized two faces one of Paras and the other Sidharth. Instinctively her defense mechanism kicked in and instead of choosing the bigger star she chose Paras. Why would a celeb like Shukla want to be associated with her? One thing that life had taught her was to never allow another person to put you down so she played her cards well and decided to go with the obvious choice.

Sidharth who till then had a resigned expression perked up because of the way this next contestant confidently wore her traditional dress. The way she addressed herself and the twinkle in Salman Sir's eyes. For a person who detested the formula and cliched contestants he found this girl interesting . While every other girl chose him, she was the only one who he wanted to be chosen by and when that did not happen he sat up even more and was in a twisted way impressed by her.

With all the adrenaline around them the contestants soon found themselves locked into the house and the game had truly begun.

Hello all, in the saturated world of fanfics I can't believe that I actually dared myself to start this. I am writing this more for my need to express than the desire for fanfic. Hope you like it and I hope we are able to together let our imagination run with this couple who has unlocked so many things for so many of us. Their genuinely and real bond is such a soothing truth. Let me know your feedback.
