“Wow,” gushed Raghav, his eyes wide in disbelief. “What a mind-blowing performance, Archana. Hard to believe you are a newbie. You nailed it like a pro, that too at the very first try itself.” Vamsi nodded in agreement, adding “I must admit I was skeptical about how you would respond to Zakir’s navel-teasing moves. They happen to be very instrumental part of Raghav sir’s movies. But the way you adapted to the moves, especially with the ones with Zakir touching your navel with the sword, was so mesmerizing to watch. And got to say you have a real show-stopper of a navel, Archana. Use it well and it's going to take you places you never even imagined.” Archana blushed, her cheeks turning a deep shade of red as she averted her eyes from everyone in the room. I could sense her discomfort, knowing how shy she was. She wasn’t ignorant…

Shortly after Archana gives her consent, Raghav says her getup needs to be adjusted a bit before they can start with the audition rounds. He asks Rosita to take her to a side room and get her ready quickly. I watch uneasily as Archana, looking bewildered, follows Rosita into a small adjacent room and locks the door behind them. After a few minutes, I began to overhear hushed sounds of arguments trickling out of the room. I strain to listen, but couldn’t make out much of what they were bickering about, but it did sound like Archana was putting up resistance towards whatever Rosita was persuading her to do. After a few minutes, the door finally slides open and Archana stumbles out like she was being pushed forward by someone from the back. She straightens back up blushing furiously and looks for a moment like she was about to run…

"Archana! Wait!" I call out, trying to keep my voice steady as I hurry up to her and the other woman. Both Archana and the woman turn to face me, their attention drawn by the urgency in my voice. “Kesav !! What are you doing? Wait here !!” Archana hisses looking around awkwardly at the other girls who were throwing her dirty glances for being called up ahead of them despite having just arrived. Though she didn’t quite look it, she was also quite older and dressed very modestly compared to them. I might be biased, but if you ask me those heavily makeup-laden girls didn’t hold a candle next to my naturally beautiful wife. “Umm, is he with you?” the lady asks Archana. “Yes Mam. This is my husband Kesav.” “Oh Hi, Sir !!...... I am Rosita.“ She says with a warm smile offering her hand for a handshake.…

“Maybe I should tryout for the role of hero’s mum when we get there.” Archana announced out of the blue while passively looking out the car window looking at the passing buildings. “What?” I spat out incredulously slowing down my second-hand Maruthi Zen car to a slow pace to look at my dear wife to see if she has finally gone nuts. Archana turned her gaze to look at me with gleaming eyes and started earnestly. “Think about it. Most of the young women that would show up for the audition will be trying their hand at the heroine role. And the slightly older ones will try out for role of hero’s older sister. Hardly any girl would want to audition for the role of hero’s mum. I am also a mother. So…” “ARCHANA….YOU ARE THIRTY-FIVE.” I interrupt her loudly. “Don’t be absurd. You hardly even look your own age.…
