In the whirlwind world of Indian cinema, where dreams collide and hearts entwine, two souls from opposite ends of the country find themselves entangled in a love story destined to defy all odds.
Meet Dhruv Kapoor, the charismatic heartthrob of Bolly...
Dhruv shook the idea off. Akanksha being the woman from his dream? No way.
As Dhruv kept thinking on, Aayush and Ananya started to shout. They were fighting on who could speak faster.
At this point, both Akanksha and Dhruv felt like they were left as parents to take care of two kids. Their fights were absolutely childish!
At sets, Akanksha and Dhruv started to get more akward. For the first time, Akanksha noticed Dhruv looking at her with a longing look in his eyes while working even though he looked at her like that all the time.
"I'm sorry." Dhruv said to Akanksha.
Aayush and Ananya looked at each other like "Why is dude apologizing? You know or what?"
"It's fine." Akanksha said bluntly. She didn't want to think further or give any signs of liking.
When Dhruv was done with his makeup and stood up, Akanksha looked at him surprised.
"Why are you looking like that?" Dhruv asked.
"Nah, it's just strange. I had a dream last night. The man in my dream wore something similar." Akanksha said with a smile.
"A dream?" Dhruv asked. He'd had enough trauma with dreams.
"Yeah, why?" Akanksha asked.
Unable to explain, Dhruv decided to let it go.
Maybe it was just a random dream for her. It would be absurd to think it is related.
The shot for Dhruv was to hold a sword in the middle of a palace where fire ablazed burning down things. The director preferred using real fire rather than vfx as it was expensive.
After the shot was done, the members tried to switch the fire off but it began to increase. Fortunately, the female lead escaped earlier. However, Dhruv got trapped between the fire.
Akanksha, Aayush, Ananya, Niranjan and all other members did their best to turn the fire off, but it just grew.
"I'll call the fire fighters." Niranjan said as he ran towards Dhruv's room to get his phone.
Suddenly, a burning piece of wood above Dhruv was about to break down, but none of them seemed to notice it. Fortunately, Akanksha noticed it.
Without thinking even for a moment, Akanksha ran through the fire and moved Dhruv away from his position.
Suddenly, at that moment, the face of the woman unveiled to Dhruv. The woman was Akanksha. She looked exactly like her.
Suddenly, by God's grace, it began to rain heavily. Everyone else moved back to the areas where there was no fire for shelter. Aayush dragged Niranjan who just came out with a call on his phone with the firefighters but told them not to come when he saw the rain.
Niranjan didn't have time to look around with Aayush dragging him away. Aayush did that on purpose so that Akanksha and Dhruv can have their privacy. It was quite far away from the place where Dhruv and Alanksha were standing.
Dhruv looked at Akanksha with a longing look on his face. Neither of them moved from that spot. Akanksha prayed gratefully to the God for the rain. When she looked at Dhruv, Akanksha saw Dhruv's hand burnt. She took his palm in her hand.
"Are you okay?" She asked with a frown of concern on her face but Dhruv didn't answer.
Before Akanksha could react, Dhruv pulled Akanksha closer by her wrist and hugged her. Akanksha stood blank. Slowly, she returned the embrace with reluctance.
After the two moved away from each other, Dhruv held Akanksha's neck and moved her face towards his and their forheads touched. Dhruv began to cry in happiness. Akanksha was taken aback. Even in the rain, she could tell he was crying very heavily. She didn't know how to react. She just stayed silent.
Director Neelam, who was in the shelter area, suddenly smiled.
"What are you smiling at sir?" Aayush asked.
"The time finally came." He said with a smile.
Aayush never understood Neelam. He always seemed like a mysterious man. He was so confusing. He didn't want to ask more as it would simply be more confusing.
The fire went off. Akanksha gently moved Dhruv away, who was still looking at her and pulled him along to his makeup room, which was the closest.
Meanwhile, Niranjan began to search for Akanksha. As he looked around, he overheard a few members talking.
"Akanksha is really brave. She ran into the fire like that to save Dhruv sir." One said.
"They always seemed so close. They came and left together everyday. I personally thought they were dating each other." The other said.
Niranjan broke in. "I'm sorry but, what happened exactly? What did Akanksha do?"
"Dhruv sir was caught in the fire. A burning piece of wood was about to fall on him. None of us noticed it but thankfully, Akanksha did. She didn't even think. She ran in immediately and moved him away. She sure is brave. Then it started to rain so all of us came back. Those two haven't come here yet." the person replied.
"Oh, thank you" Niranjan replied.
Akanksha ran into the fire! Oh Gods! Is she okay?
Niranjan was about to leave to search for Akanksha when Neelam stopped him.
"Nirajan, wait. I know that you're concerned, but they're fine now. She's with Dhruv. He won't let anything happen to her. Stay here. They'll be here in a while. I need you here." Neelam replied, pointing to a man who's arm was burnt.
Niranjan looked at Neelam in surprise.
How did he know that I was a first aider?
Niranjan went to the man and checked his wound. He began to tend to it with a first aid kit.
Back at Dhruv's room, Akanksha dried his wound up and did the basic first aids. Not even for a second Dhruv looked away from her.
Even in our past lives, we were meant for each other.
Dhruv suddenly felt a state of extreme euphoria. He realized why he had unexplainable confidence and faith he would meet her. Why his soul that she was the one. Until then, the dreams about the woman tormented Dhruv. But now, it made him feel better.
Dhruv pulled Akanksha closer as she finished tending to his wound. She was caught off guard. Their faces were barely centimeters away from each other. Akanksha held her breath. The more closer Dhruv got to her, the more she lost control on her self grip and resistance.
Dhruv couldn't resist it anymore. He moved his hand into Akanksha's neck and leaned in for a kiss.
