Shraddha Kapoor
Something stirs inside deep down my belly...as the guy's tongue continues to assault my mouth. I gasp for breath and push him away with all my strength...only then I take note of his face for the first time.
My heart leaps in my mouth as it occurs to me that the person to give me my first wild kiss is none other than
VARUN DHAWAN!!!!
He has satisfied smirk on his face which quickly replaces by horror as his eyes falls on someone behind my back.
I turn around to see equally horrified Sonam Kapoor standing behind me..as photographers continue to click us. 2
I'm jittery by all the attention and continued flashes falling on my eyes. I cover my face with my hand and sprint from the spot.
Some journalist follow my lead and run behind me...I hear them firing questions at me
"How long have you known Varun Dhawan?" 2
"Are you guys dating?" 2
"Is that why Varun split up with Sonam?"
"Are you his hidden girlfriend?"
I stumble on some idle lying rock but quickly recover as I climb into auto and yell at the driver to start the engine.
As I get away I feel something odd about my feet. I look down and realise I'm missing one of the heels. 1
Damn! I slam hand on my forehead in frustration. Also I haven't washed my face and the makeup is still on along with the flowing gown...which I don't need to worry much about right now as I can return it to the studio tomorrow.
But what am I going to do about the shoe?
I contemplate of going back to find the same but all the media would still be there also I don't clearly remember where I lost it.
Geez! What the hell just happened with me?
What was Varun even thinking?
~~
Varun Dhawan
"What where you thinking, Varun?"
Karan snarls at me and I duck my head lower, I might as well hide under his desk "You kiss some random girl in front of whole freaking media to prove what? Your maardangi?" he is furious and I don't blame him. 6
I did most stupidest thing that I can ever think of doing. But I wasn't in right mind last night as my anger had overtaken all my other senses.
When I had reached there reporters swarmed me with most insulting questions any guy can face..
'What do you have to say about Sonam Kapoor calling you a kid in bed?' 1
'She claimed that you weren't man enough for her..is that true?" 3
I could see my hands on that reporter's neck strangling him to death but I controlled myself enough to utter "I'll show you how much of that is true...just wait here"
I had seen Sonam entering the washroom and I was sure as hell it was her when I dragged her out but I should have known better when I kissed her.
That kiss sure felt different...I have kissed many girls in my life (I'm not taking any pride in the fact that girls fall over me all the time) But when I kissed that girl, whoever she was, I got lost in spur of moment...never before I wanted a kiss to last forever..and when I did reluctantly let her go that I realised what blunder I had created. 4
"I was caught off guard Karan. I really thought it was Sonam whom I was kissing" I say making innocent puppy face.
"So even if it was Sonam, you think it was okay to kiss her like that in front of whole bunch of people?" Karan raises his brow. 2
"I'm sorry I just don't know what to do"
"That is why you have to listen to me" He tells me and I nod obediently.
"I screwed up Karan, I've screwed up big time. My phone hasn't stopped ringing since last night. I'm even ashamed to go back home. My Dad..how the hell I'm supposed to face him?" I had managed to get out of house unnoticed this morning.
"Ah! You should have thought of that before acting so whimsically" He remarks with satisfaction.
"Karan you are not helping" I cry out in desperation.
"I'll always help you, love" 4
I shift a bit uncomfortably in my chair when he calls me love but it's okay if it's Karan..he does genuinely love people he care about.
"Get me out of this shit!" I beg him.
I see him smiling and I look up hopefully "What?" I probe when he just keeps tapping his fingers on table testing my patience.
"Who was that girl?" he asks carefully.
"How would I know? I didn't even caught glimpse of her face as she ran away" I sound like I'm upset about it..but wait why are we talking about her?
"What about her?" I ask uneasily as his sly smile grows on his face.
"We will have to find her" he decides.
"How?" I reply too quickly then rephrase my question "Why?"
"'Why' I'll tell you about that later on as for your another question 'how'"
He stops speaking as he reaches for the drawer and pulls out cellophane wrapped high heeled shoe. He places the shoe on table for better view.
I just stare at the shoe dumbly and back at Karan, a sly fox that he is, his face lits up with tricky smile that gives me vibes about his not so good intentions.
Cinderella story- A Varun Dhawan fanfic
Re: chapter 4- A Varun Dhawan fanfic
Varun Dhawan
"What!" I howl almost falling off my chair.
"Pretend girlfriend? Is that even a term?" I ask boisterously "Ok I get it..this is a new story you are planning on making into.."
"Varun.." Karan stops me calmly "This is only way around" he informs.
"No it's not!" I yell at my mentor and stand up on my feet "It is most ridiculous plan that I've heard of....you want this girl to pretend to be my girlfriend? Karan I don't need a pretend girlfriend when I already have a gi ..." I bite on my words. 2
Karan folds his arms and waits for me to find my ground.
"Had" he corrects me later.
"Karan do you realise that many things can go wrong..your plan can backfire through thousand open spots"
"Hmm..I have thought about it" he says in tailored manner like he has been discussing his new business venture with me "Unlike you, I don't jump on my guns" he taunts. 1
"I made an anonymous call to studio early morning to see if there was any lost commodity complaint" he leans on table excitedly "Last night, as your luck would have it, I was leaving the venue when I witnessed you pulling off your little stunt and ruining your career with it. The girl you kissed fled right in front of my eyes and I noticed one thing that most reporters present there ignored. I saw her stumble and fall on ground..poor terrified girl didn't even realised that her heel has come off till I got my hands on it." he smiles cleverly.
"I agree to whatever you say..but why the unnecessary drama?"
"Unnecessary?" he repeats with vehemence "Varun you just got dumped by a girl in worst possible way. Also you made a complete fool of yourself by kissing wrong girl in front of whole media..and to add icing on cake you have a movie to promote in next couple of weeks...it means, even if you want to, you cannot avoid all the media flak that will be coming your way. The only way where you can save your grace and emerge as hero is..when you tell people that the girl you kissed is indeed your girlfriend and Sonam just said whatever she said because she has big mouth and is extremely jealous of your relationship, get it now?" he draws a deep breath.
I'm stunned and it looks like I've lost my voice as slump on nearby sofa to organise my thoughts.
Karan did make sense to me..but still I'm not convinced enough. I could see this going wrong in so many possible ways..the idea is too contrived to work through.
"What if she turns a traitor halfway and sells out our secret to the media?" I doubt out loud.
"We will sign a nondisclosure deal with her and even offer her enough money so she isn't tempted by the greens."
"Money is not always the motivation..some will do it for their 60 seconds of fame" I argue my point.
"She will already get her 60 seconds of fame when you come out publicly as couple...and I think we are stretching it too far right now" he says leaning back "See I'll get to know what kind of girl she is once she walks in through that door.. only then I'll make a deal with her"
"Wait a sec..she is coming here!" I ask feigning my elevated mood.
"Yes before I called you, I had made a call to her first and asked her to meet me"
"How did you even get her number?" I ask perplexed. 2
"You don't pay enough attention, do you? I told you in the beginning that I had called the studio..they informed me about girl who had been frantically searching for a shoe she lost last night...they gave me her number when I told them I have found one"
I let out a whistle. This man never fails to impress me with his quick wit and sharp intelligence. When I had been sitting here brooding about trivial issues like how was I going to face my family? This guy has been sorting it all out in his brain by that time.
"Karan you are a genius!" I applause.
"Oh! so I'm told" he gives me his dimpled smile.
The phone rings on his desk "Already?" he says on intercom while mouthing me 'It's her' "Okay send her in" he orders on phone as his eyes fix on door.
I don't know why suddenly I'm feeling nervous like excited bride on her first night...and then there is knock on door. 6
"Please come in" Karan says.
I hold my breath as I hear clicking sounds of her heels..as she closes the door behind her and enters.
I bend forward from side couch to have better look and all the air from my lungs disappear as my eyes falls on the person I least expected it to be... +
"You?"
"What!" I howl almost falling off my chair.
"Pretend girlfriend? Is that even a term?" I ask boisterously "Ok I get it..this is a new story you are planning on making into.."
"Varun.." Karan stops me calmly "This is only way around" he informs.

"You?"
Re: chapter 5- A Varun Dhawan fanfic
Shraddha Kapoor
"You?" Varun spits with utmost disgust when our eyes meet.
So he hasn't forgotten me.
The only person to unreasonably hate me more than my stepmom is Varun Dhawan. 2
I didn't mentioned earlier but Varun and I, we went to same school. And he wasn't aware of my cordial existence in school till eight grade when our dance teacher paired us together to perform in group dance for annual function.
Varun was very open about his displeasure on being paired with me. He even requested the teacher to change partners..but our teacher was adamant that we were only good dancers in the group hence fit to dance in lead.
Since first day of practice Varun started giving me hard time. At times he would drop me intentionally or shove me away forcefully..cracking up whenever I hit the ground. 3
I lost my nerve one such day when he pressed his hands on my chest. The moment his palm touched me I smacked him hard on face. Everyone practicing in auditorium was stunned into silence. Of course I hadn't developed boobs by then but still his gesture was offending and I was so done with his bullying. 2
Needless to say Varun didn't return to the practice the next day and he quit participating in the annual function all together.
Thereafter whenever accidentally we crossed our ways in hallway he would shoot daggers through his eyes like he would kill me anytime if given a chance.
I took care not to cross his path again until now...
I got a call this morning and I didn't believe when the caller introduced himself. Karan is big name in the industry, ask any struggling aspiring person what it feels like when Karan Johar calls you and asks you to drop by his office and you'll know what I'm talking about.
"You guys know each other?" Karan asks as Varun keeps staring at me like he is seeing a ghost.
"Sort of" I answer for both of us "We went to same school"
"Then our job gets easier" Karan tells Varun who breaks into hysteria.
Karan and I exchange glances probably thinking the same..finally stress has made him loose his mind. 1
"Varun? What is wrong?" Karan asks sweetly.
"Eaassy?..This...I don't...believe..it's..easssy" Varun mumbles incoherently while shaking with laughter. 1
Karan gets up from his seat and directs Varun over other room towards the end of office.
"I'll be back in a minute" he says to me before disappearing behind the door.
Since he didn't ask me to sit, I stand uncomfortably in middle of office and survey the room..my eyes stop on cellophane wrapped something kept on desk. I take a closer look and gasp recognising one of shoe I had lost yesterday.
My mind works with speed putting all the pieces together. Varun accidentally kissing me last night, Karan calling me to his office the very next day..he somehow finding out that it was me who Varun had kissed by mistake, as the heel on desk would explain.
Varun of course didn't recognised me last night due to make up and all hence today he lost his mind when he came to know it was me with whom he shared passionate kiss.
I hear muffled argument from behind closed doors..I don't have to wonder for long as the door opens and Karan strides in swiftly followed by slouching Varun.
"Please take a sit, Shraddha" Karan gestures me. It doesn't escape my notice that he addresses me by my name when I'm yet to introduced myself...but then I see snarling Varun and it becomes clear who did the introductions.
"I believe this belongs to you?" he points at my shoe. I nod slowly sensing some trouble.
"Shraddha we have a offer for you...and there is no pressure to say yes..but before you come to any decision think very clearly of what I'm about to say...you can even take a day to decide but remember once you say yes there is no turning back" Karan says in grave solemn tone that gets my instant full attention. 1

Varun Dhawan
Of billions of people on earth, one fourth of them living right here in India, why does it have to be her? 2
Even Rakhi Sawant is better than this piece of shit before me. Yes, I hate her that much and there is very good reason for it apart from her duck like face. 5
Nobody has raised a finger on me in my entire life..not my parents or my big bro or any of my teachers as I was always in their good books..but this girl..she smacked me in front of my buddies...for no apparent reason. Okay I agree I had made fun of her couple of times...but who doesn't when you are kid and someone has Donald duck face...it was hard not making fun of her. 2
I could never forget the embarrassment I felt there upon. My buddies kept teasing me about it for days together...whenever she passed by us in the corridor they would jab me in my ribs.
If she wasn't a girl she would be dead by now.
I suggested Karan we hire a professional con woman because if we are going to fool not so innocent press, why not do it properly. But Karan insisted our kissing photos were out everywhere right from papers to news channel to internet..anybody will easily spot the difference if it's not her. As if people don't have anything better to do with their lives...but I know how intriguing paparazzi can get...part of their job is not having life of their own.
Also Karan has put undue faith in this ugly duckling within five minutes of meeting her. He even questioned why don't I do the same?
Well, I wasn't going to share our past little history with him...so here I sit as he narrates the clauses of nonexistent contract to this only person who has ever hit me sitting right across me.
I gauge her reaction carefully as Karan speaks..to be frank she has no expression whatsoever on her stoic face. Maybe it will be easy afterall to make people believe that we are madly in love..as no can read that stoned face..I snort.
"Anything funny?" Karan breaks in and I wish for once he stops sounding like my teacher.
I shake my head fearing he will ask me to stand in corner and put finger on my lips..but thankfully his attention gets back to the pig. 1
"So Shraddha what do you have to say?" he asks her and I pray wholeheartedly that she says no.
She doesn't say anything for a while...that dumbass.
"It's okay if you want to think over it and tell us tomorrow" Karan suggests.
I'm not sure what is there to think over? We weren't offering her to take over Prime Minister's seat for Godsake. 1
And against my all hopes she says
"I'll do it" 1
l look at her and she looks back at me..my eyes scream
'You made a terrible mistake'
