“Congratulations to all for the new venture. Hope this new coming together become very successful”

Mr. Alok Trivedi, Producer of the Cine-youth Production House, congratulate all the associates, members and actors for his new web series “NOT MEAN TO BE…”. Generally, Mr. Trivedi has more interest in commercial TV shows. And their production house is famous or you may say one of the leading production house is Indian Television industry. But lately to increase the viewers and to bring the attention of the youth towards TV series and to spread wings in the web world too, their Production house has organised various camps in various Arts college throughout India. And shortlisted some amazing concepts, actors.

One such story is “Not mean to be…”. Which has touched his heart the very first instance. And he has thought of giving this new writer a chance in the form of web series. Being the renowned producer, producing a web series is not a big task. He got some finest actors of the industry, directors and a good team. And hoping that this may lead his success in web series world too.

***************************************************************************

Manyata can win gold medal in punctuality and time management. In fact, in every aspect of a well routine life. Being a scholar throughout her career, it came as shocking when she expressed that she wants to join Arts college instead of science. After so much argument followed, her parents let her pursue her dream with a promise that she will also try for Civil services side by side. She now a student of St. Marry Arts college, Mumbai. Life was going normal till the time she gets an opportunity to work with one of the finest production house, and with the well-known name Mr. Alok Trivedi.

From that time her life as if not her anymore. Friends, Family, near dear ones all are congratulating, finally her decision of doing Arts instead of science feels as if one of the best decision of her life.

But in all these lies a huge responsibility. And it will be a lie if she tells that she isn’t nervous. In contrary she is nervous like hell. If you have to classify her, she is not the total extrovert type, but given circumstances she can carry a good conversation. Knowing her anyone can bet that the only thing she wants now is just done with all these and get into her comfort zone, but what to do she have a dinner to survive through. And adding to her nervousness she has worn a white printed frock giving her a girlish look rather than a grown up adult, attending a party which surely going to have some known faces of the industry along with Mr. Alok Trivedi of course.

She was confident when she left her resident after changing into N’ number of times. But as she stood at the entrance of the Party hall, she is now having double thoughts about her appearance.

***************************************************************************

“Ma’am, after a long time people are going to see you on screen, any reason why you choose Web series for your come back?”

“Ma’am, when are we going to have you on TV series!”

Kavya look on with void eyes, this was her life, her dream and after a long break she is back to her own space, but this time something is missing.

Yes! She no longer feels the excitement in little things as she used to. She has learned the life changing lesson is a very hard way and no way she is going to be back now. She is here to take back what truly belongs to her, her career, her name and her identity.

With that her eyes come back to life a solitary warmth in them as she smiled, what can be highly mistaken for a content laugh.

“We Actors do have life. So yaa!! I had a break. And good one indeed”.

She smiled again, she indeed had a good break. Which taught her strong lessons of life which she must have learned by then. But whatever and in what way Almighty tried to intervene, it was good for her own self.

“First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Trivedi Sir, our Producer. I have gone through the storyline, the concept. And overall Alok Sir is there, so why not a web series. Coming to TV series, if I get something nice as this I will definitely do”.

The reporters take their turns hurling their question at her. The interview was going good in fact till the time this happened.

“wow! Nice to hear that Kavya”.

The reporters turn towards the source of voice, while Kavya stood their unmoved, she doesn’t have to turn to know who this might be. She can recognise this voice even in her worst nightmare. The void look back in her eyes as she stares straight into his.

Shreyash Malhotra, is not just a name in the industry. He is The Shreyash Malhotra, the heartthrob of the industry, with a shine through acting skills and good looks, it doesn’t take him much time to win hearts all over the country. His no nonsense personality and Professionalism give him extra brownie points. So it is not like rocket science to guess that Mr. Alok Trivedi has opted him for one of the Male Protagonist among the two for his first ever web series.

“Mr. Malhotra, it’s not the first time we are seeing you and Miss. Kapoor together opposite to each other. Viewers previously has given immense love to both of you. But unfortunately the show didn’t run for long. So what are your expectations from this web series?”

Kavya rolled her eyes on the mention of her previous show, Anyway Shreyash take the lead and the interview ended smoothly.

“I see you are still stuck to that point! Didn’t your break do any good Kavya?”

Shreyash asked genuinely concerned. He can sense standing beside her that she is not comfortable, she is restless. She shouldn’t have taken this if she is not comfortable.

“its Miss. Kapoor for you Mr. Malhotra. And don’t be worry, I won’t jeopardize like last time.”

He is concerned, but nevertheless if she is fine with it, he is not here to nurture peoples unprofessional behaviour. He is here for his job and he will do that.

***************************************************************************

“Hey buddy, just park my car today. Will surely manage the next time”

Giving his keys for the valet parking, he moves towards the entrance hurriedly. He is again late, but this time, late by fair enough time.

If you want to describe The Abir Rajvansh, then you can say the boy who always late, but then he is so charming that all choose to ignore it.

If grave and mysterious attitude attract girls then a humble, down to earth personality paired with good looks makes people adore you and Abir Rajvansh is none the less. Surely Mr. Trivedi wants all the best for his upcoming web series.

Abir is the kind of boy who will make you feel as if the boy next door. Even have achieved name and fame, he never gets them to him. One of the most demanded and busy actor of the industry. And what sources said that it’s because of him Mr. Trivedi delayed the shooting for a month as he was busy in his album shooting.

But like even the moon has marks, Abir is very emotional, and sometimes these emotional decisions marked as unprofessionalism in the industry. But he cares the less. As long as he is honest to himself and his work, he rarely gets affected by these gossips. As you know telly gossips are one of the inevitable part of Actor’s life.

“Holly shit !!”

Looking at his watch he missed the person in front of him and stumble upon her and in a reflex caught it, what seems a bundle of white with black long hairs all open, all over the face.

A vision of pair of glasses adorning a beautiful pair of eyes stares back at him.

Even the cupid exclaimed from heaven “Checkmate!!”

And Abir Rajvansh will be lying if he disagree to it that he is mesmerized.
