HER DOUBLE JEOPARDY

Its no secret this smoking hot entry into Bollywood has been seen in the company of a dashing superstar, who has an eye for pretty young things. Problem is she is also formed a deep connection (the kind other than professional they swear) with a director known for his noir films. Lately the director has taken to flying off the handle at the mention of the name of the young superstar. Insiders say the director has been made aware of the actress’s ‘dalliances’ so that he would stop making a fool of himself over her. But such is his addiction to the young hottie that instead of cutting off from the girl the director has given an ultimatum to the girl to ‘stop seeing’ the superstar actor accusing her of becoming lazy, uninterested and distracted from work. No one needs to spell it out that can kiss the meaty roles he had promised her in his new film goodbye if she continues her dalliance. The young girl is shocked as she has been attending acting and voice training workshops suggested by the director himself to prepare her for the grand role and does not want to jeopardize her ‘special connection’ with the famous director. Nor does she want to endanger her ‘true friendship’ with the superstar actor as she says has ‘selflessly helped her’ in making her feel at home in a city which was completely new to her. Our heart goes out to the poor lassie, really hoping the cherub faced stunner finds a way out of her entanglements.

 

Public Flight

Suddenly the shiny silver car swerved dangerously and screeched to a halt in the busy side lane opposite a top hair-styling shop in Bandra. The fashionably dressed occupants of the silver car were in the midst of an intense raging argument. Passer-bys slowed down sensing a good tamasha and straining to get a peek of what was totally not their business (as any good god swearing normal Indian would in such a circumstance). The fight between the stunning very young upcoming actress and a mystery man was happening in full public view. She shouted. He shouted back. She seemed to be begging. He seemed to be in no mood to relent as he pounded some numbers on his cell phone and the girl tried to pull it from his hand when he very rudely brushed her hand off. She panicked when she saw the crowd building and tried to cover her face with a striped scarf and rolled up the windows.

Obviously embarrassed the girl tried to regain her composure and seemed to be beseeching man who kept yelling on the phone. She tried to take the keys of the car and signaled the man to move pointing at the gathering crowd outside their car. But the raging man would not budge and it finally took two traffic constables to break the crowd. The couple were ordered to roll down their windows which they stubbornly kept closed for some time. But finally with passions subsiding, good sense eventually prevailed. Scared of trigger happy photogs the couple begged the constables to not to make them come out of the car and it must have been their lucky day as the men obliged giving the couple some gyaan on public behaviour for good fifteen minutes. All seemed well and the car sped off only to come to a screeching halt half a kilometre away!!! The car door flew open and the scarf covered girl threw what appeared to be some papers on the man’s face and tears streaming, red nosed she flagged an auto and sped off.
