🎥 [SCENE OPENS – THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON]
(The crowd is SCREAMING. Jimmy is already laughing at his desk, shaking his head. Behind him, the big screen flashes the now-iconic moment from the award show—Uthra casually saying, "Oh, I'm getting married.")
🎤 Jimmy Fallon (laughing, hands on his head): "I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS."
(Audience laughs, cheers. Uthra and Kishan walk in, waving. The cheers get LOUDER when Kishan enters, slightly overwhelmed but handling it like a pro.)
🎤 Jimmy: "Okay, first things first—who approved this? Who allowed you to just casually wreck Twitter, Instagram, Hollywood, and my peace of mind?"
😂 Uthra (grinning, shrugging): "Technically, no one stopped me."
🎤 Jimmy: "NO. That's not an answer. I feel like I deserve financial compensation for the stress this caused me."
😂 Kishan (nodding, mock serious): "Me too, Jimmy. Me too."
(Crowd SCREAMS. Uthra playfully slaps Kishan's arm. Jimmy FALLS BACK in his chair.)
🎤 ROUND 1: HOW DID THEY KEEP IT A SECRET?
🎤 Jimmy (leaning in, serious tone): "Okay. No jokes. HOW did you keep this a secret for FOUR YEARS? HOW??"
😂 Kishan: "She threatened me."
🎤 Jimmy (gasping, turning to Uthra): "DID YOU??"
🔥 Uthra (calmly sipping her drink): "I... will not confirm or deny that statement."
(Audience LOSES IT. Jimmy is fake hyperventilating.)
🎤 Jimmy: "NO BECAUSE—every celebrity I have ever known can't keep a relationship secret for two weeks. HOW did you last FOUR YEARS?!"
🔥 Kishan: "It was easy. She's a master of distractions. She'd say something outrageous online, people would focus on that, and we'd just keep living our lives."
🎤 Jimmy: "Genius. I hate you both."
😂 Uthra: "Thank you!"
🎤 ROUND 2: WHEN DID THEY KNOW IT WAS LOVE?
🎤 Jimmy: "Okay, romantic question time. When did you two know? Like, when did you realize this wasn't just 'Oh we're good friends'—this was serious serious?"
🔥 Kishan: "First time she beat me at a game of chess."
😂 Uthra: "That's a lie. I've never beaten you at chess."
🔥 Kishan: "Exactly. And yet, you keep trying."
(Crowd SCREAMS. Uthra stares at him, fake betrayed. Jimmy falls onto his desk laughing.)
🎤 Jimmy: "THIS MAN. THIS MAN IS SMOOTH."
🎤 Uthra (rolling her eyes, shaking her head, but smiling): "Okay, real answer—when he remembered my coffee order. Exactly right. With the sugar ratio and everything. That's when I knew."
(Crowd AWWs. Kishan is looking at her, smiling.)
🎤 Jimmy (clutching his heart): "Okay, okay, that's actually adorable. I approve."
