Roshni, a slut or a free spirited woman?
Roshni is a small town girl who has lost her mother at a
very early age of 6. Her father, Manoj looked after her trying to compensate
her loss. She was his pampered princess. Being a clerk himself, he always
wanted to give her all the riches and happiness in the world. Though
economically poor, he had tried his best at giving her, whatever possible. They
were a happy family of two.
She grew up reciting the Bollywood dialogues. Her father
often said that her mother was a Bollywood fan. Hence this craze was genetic.
She was 20 when she had made up her mind to get into acting.
She imitated the Bollywood stars, recited their dialogues and also dressed like
them. Her father often supported her.
The crew of the upcoming movie, “Pyaar ki jeet” was supposed
to come to her town for their climax shooting. She requested her father to let
her go and watch the shooting. He had happily permitted her.
The manager Sanjeev who noticed her watching the shooting
almost for the entire month identified her craze for acting. He offers her a
chance to give the auditions for the next movie of the same banner. She too had
seen him looking at her. He was a not so tall but a good looking man in his
late 20s.
She agreed for the audition. The process made her feel very
clumsy as well as excited. As she was waiting for just one chance to show case
her talent in front of the camera. Luckily, out of 24 she got selected. Her father and Sanjeev was of great help to
her and formed her support system. She was slowly starting to experience her
dream world. She got to know that this field is not as fancy as it seems.
Sanjeev was always with her, guiding her about the career choices etc.
He took great care of her and made sure she signed the right
contracts and worked with good people only. They shared a good bonding with
each other.
One evening, while sipping hot coffee, on a chilled evening
in Delhi, Sanjeev proposed to her. It was an absolute “Yes.”
Moving in together seemed like the best option in order to
spend more time with each other. Her father back in her town got to hear a lot
of gossips about the two living together before the marriage. The neighbours
talked ill about his daughter. Yet he supported her as he liked Sanjeev and he
was a man who believed in his daughter’s happiness.
Her career took a downfall due to her ill health and Sumit
enters her life like the breath of fresh air. She sets up her career being the
most understanding P.R. He rebuilds her image and mostly supports her
psychologically. Meanwhile she gets separated from Sanjeev during the downfall
of her career as she somehow blames him for her lack of concentration on her
career, though he has always being there for her. “You have got me very
distracted from my work Sanjeev!” she had screamed her lungs out with
depression.
Sumit and Roshni liked spending time with each other. He was
very well made aware of her past with Sanjeev. She confessed to him that she
felt guilty about it and yet cannot move back to him. Sumit accepted her whole
heartedly. He kept persuading her to forget her past and move on with him. He
was someone who often told his friends to stay away from women as he believed
that women is a cause of destruction and now he himself was into luring a woman
who didn’t like him as much as he liked her. They dreamt of the life together.
Prajwal was her co – actor. They were having a day out just
to relax from their busy schedules. It was the end of the shoot and Prajwal had
invited her home just to celebrate their first movie together. He talked about
his best moments with her. He had always being the best co – actor cum best
friend to her. He had chased away that crazy fan who had tried to touch her. He
had made him beg for forgiveness. He had being with her as a very good friend. She
treated him more like her bodyguard at the sets. “What are men for? To provide
safety to women.” She laughed.
Sumit didn’t like the kind of closeness they shared. He did
mind that on the last day she had visited prajwal’s home for the celebrations.
The fight broke between them. Unfortunately the heated argument led to Sumit
calling her a bitch who used men for her advantage.
Prajwal caught her
hand, got down on his knees and in the filmy way said, “I love you.”
She liked him too but she liked Sumit and deep down also
felt guilty for being mean to Sanjeev. He often texted her asking to get back
and tried to meet her too.
A couple of days later, Sumit apologized her and admitted that he felt jealous and
confessed his love for her.
She made it clear to all the three that she has more
inclination towards Sanjeev as she had brought her to this position today. He
had picked her up from the rags to the riches and that she was being very mean
to him.
She also admitted that Sumit and Prajwal also meant a lot to
her. She liked them too. She liked them Way beyond just friends.
The society, the media, her fellow town people made a great
gossip out of this matter. If the man
hangs around with multiple partners, he is considered as cool what if the
situations put the women into the similar situation? She gets tagged as a slut.
She married Sanjeev as he was her first love but broke no
relation with Sumit and Prajwal as they also meant a lot to her. Their
relationship was way beyond the society’s mentality. Love need not be lust.
It’s a feeling of understanding. The ease which one has while being with the
other person.
Two years later,
Sanjeev and Roshni are the proud parents of a beautiful baby
girl. Sumit and Prajwal, the best friends of the couple, knock at the door and
she opens the door to find them with toys and balloons, welcoming the baby girl
in the family…..
