Reel Se Real Takk... (SidRa reuploaded)

SID-RA

So for this chapter I was completely unable to come up with how they must have met the first time so I actually went and watched their part of the introductory episode. It is inspired by the events of the show but whatever they felt and their inner conversations are mentioned are all made up with creative liberty. As I've made clear I don't know the show so well so in future the tract of this story will be different from the events that happened in the show and may have a totally different plot all together. Whatever they think and feel is how I imagine my characters are and may completely differ from the people they were inspired by.

P.S.  everything that is written within single quotes i.e. '_____' is inner conversation of the characters with themselves and it may occur while they appear to actualy having an external conversation with others. Just like we think in our minds continuously about different things while still talking to people.

Hope you enjoy.

SID'S POV

"and aage badhte hai ar bulatae hai hamare agle contestant ko...."  Said the host soon after which the entire set boomed with music of the song kamariaaa.... I sat in between 2 men on my either sides all of whom, including me were anticipating who the next contestant is. Music stopped and then began the banter between the contestant and the host. We couldn't see as we were rotated such that we could see nothing. We could however, hear and that was enough, enough to know who stood there on the other side of the stage just a few steps away from me. 'Boy, aren't I doing a good job at keeping my calm.' I thought to myself. 'I'm proud of you sid, tu kar sakta hai' I chanted in my head. Yes I was in control.

I released a deep breath just when the sound of her bubbly laugh smashed against my ears. Then and there all the calm and control I had crashed with that sound. That laugh, those smiles were all fresh as ever in my mind... I would never accept it but they were fresh as ever in my heart. Rash. How could I ever forget that laugh? Especially, after knowing that once upon a time I was one of the reasons for your smiles and laughs. Yeh kaise karunga yaar mai. Kya hoga?  Past jab yuh hamse kuch kadmo ki doorie pe khada ho, jab hum jante hai ki abb yaha se koi raasta nikalta nai hai siwai issey face karne ke, tab kya kare? Kya karna hai bhai... saans lete raho. Kadam badhate raho. Yeh sab toh pata tha na tumko. Contract toh marzi se sign kiya tha na. toh abb bhugton. Yaad rakh sid yeh toh career ke liye kar raha hai tu. Personal professional ko mix matt kar. Kya hai co-actor thi ab co-contestant hai. Bas aur kuch nahi. Hai kaun waise yeh rash D. Bas ek ladki.

Soon I escaped my mind and focused on the conversation between the men who sat with me. "ye rash hai na? iska toh shayad ex-husband bhi aayega. Mai bata raha hu na aayega dekho" abu M declared to which paras chuckled and started adding his inputs... ' uff issey toh achha mai apne khayalon mein hi tha.' I thought. Background mein I can still hear how paras and abu ji are talking about rash finding a lover and maybe getting married in the show... yeh toh zara jyada hi ho raha hai.yeh nai hoga. Shadi? Kya sach mein yeh ho sakta hai? Yaha mera dimag abhi se hi hila hua hai waha mai yeh sab dekh paunga? Dekh liya toh kya jhel paunga?

RASH'S POV

"Toh cahliye rash ji abb aapke duty ke liye partner chunn le. Yeh raha hamara display area" and with that the host directed me to look at a turning podium kind of thing jispe 5 aadmi baithe thhey. Waise toh mai calm thi but who knew this show was gonna test me right on the stage, even before entering the house. Once I could see everyone my heart skipped a beat, not because yeh unexpected that or anything else par isliye kyuk sabke beech mein hi baitha tha woh. Maine socha nahi tha yu samna hoga hamara. Par abhi sochne samajhne ka time nai that. The host was asking me questions one after the other and I had to prove it to him ki mujhey uske yahan hone se koi bhi fark nahi padta. And it's true he doesn't affect me."toh kya aap in sabko janti hai?" the host asked. "Ji mai sabko janti hu, nai 2, ko nai 3! Oh nai nai I know 4 of them." I fumbled. 'Get yourself together rash, don't look at him only, kya bol rahi hai.' I thought to myself.i told the host who I knew. "yeh jo blck jacket mein hai yeh mere pichle show mein mere pati baney they" I said 'aur hamara ek past hai,hum shayad pyar mein thhey. Parr pyar mein kya hi mila hai mujhey haar ki siwai life mein? Haare haare haare... hum toh dil se haare...." Is what I thought as I continued the vain conversation with the host. 'rash, yeh tv nai hai kya soch rahi hai apne aap ke liye background song gaa rahi hai show pe focus kar. Yaha kyu aaayi hai tuuu.usko ignore kar. Aur yeh kya show ka pati and all? Itna kuch hua hai tere saath, itna saara time beet gaya. You have moved on. Aur aaj bhi tu uska naam nai le sakt hai out loud. Shame on you. Game kaise khelegi tu agar naam bhi nahi bol sakti hai? naam le tu uska! Prove it to yourself.' This internal conversation was happening in my mind as I was trying my best to ignore mere andar ki mai (clearly in vain.) and focus on the host when he asked me "aap kisko apna partner chunegi in the kitchen duty?" and I blurted out "sid S."

Dekhne walo ko toh laga hoga kitni calmly soch samajhke answer diya tha maine. Only I know what inner conversation I was having aur yeh inner rashmi ka jo chal raha than a naam le prove kar you can face him uss chakkar mein iska naam le liya maine. Hai re meri kismet. Kya hoga mera. Waise yeh bahot normal hai mera. Apne aap se baat karna. Bahar se lagu bhale ke soch rahi hua, ya sunn rahi hu andar toh bass khudse hi baton mein lagi rehti hu. Iss chakkar mein toh phass bhi gai dekho.

Aur phir sid aaya stage par, aur host ne hamse hathkadi bandhwa k banwaya burger. Oh god, yeh sab karna jaroori hai kya? Yeh kya hai door door se nai kar sakte kya hum baat. Abb bol rahe hai burger khao. Kyu bhai nai khana. Yeh sid ko bhi badi masti hai khud bhi kha raha hai mujhey bhi khila raha hai apne haathon se. saath they tabb nai mann kiya kabhi ki isko khilau abb bada aaya. Kya isko sach mein koi bhi farak nahi padta? Itna normal hai yeh. Mazak bhi kar raha hai. Aur maine kya kiya? Sandwich banate banate bol diya hum best friends hai aur bahot ladte bhi thhey aur saath mein kaam toh bahot accha kiya tha. Ek kaam kar de rash, dera jama ke baith jaa aur sabko apni daastan suna. Aur kuch toh hona nai hai tujhse. Bewakoof hi rahegi tu.

Somehow I managed to get  through this fiasco as well gaining some control towards the end.' If sid can be calm and clearly he doesn't even care. Hamare beech jo hua shayad usko yaad bhi nahi hai. Itna indifferent hai yeh, hasi mazaak kar raha hai woh bhi mere jaise bina awkwrd hue.bestfriends thhey hum? Kya soch rahi thi tu rash. Abb mujhey bhi kuch nahi padi . bahar se toh mai indifferent lag hi rahi hu. Actress hu na mann ki baat chhupana toh fitrat ho gayi hai abb. Par abb mann bhi saaf kar le rash. Kyu khudko affect kare jab samnewale ko toh kisi baat ka pata takk nahi? Dimaag se nikal sab, go into the house with a clear mind.' I thought as I exhaled.

"So rash aapne jo bed buddies forever chuna tha, garma garam who aur koi nahi, Sid S hi hai. Lao bhai inka band  laao" the host told me as he put a yellow band in sids hand, same as the one in mine indicating that we will be bed buddies in the BB house. "kya matalab hum bed share karenge?" yeh toh poochte waqt mera dimag poora blank tha. Kaha mai clean slate ka soch rahi thi aur kahan yeh bb abhi se hi test le rahe hai meri.
