Drishya, filled with excitement for her first day on the new set, was getting ready. Her mother entered the room with a small bowl of curd and sugar.

Ramya: (smiling) Aaj pehla hai din tera, issiliye yeh dahi cheeni shubh hota hai.

Drishya looked at her mother, touched by the gesture. Taking a spoon filled with curd, her mother fed her while offering blessings.

Ramya: (blessing) Khush raho, beta. All the best!

Drishya smiled, feeling the warmth of her mother's love and support. After the brief ritual, her mother left the room, leaving Drishya with a sense of positivity as she embarked on this new journey.

In the Shekhawat mansion, Anirvaan was also gearing up for his day on the set. He tried on different shirts, searching for the perfect one. Finally settling on a sky blue shirt paired with black pants, he admired himself in the mirror.

Coming downstairs, Anirvaan's joyful demeanor caught the attention of his father.

Amay: (teasingly) Kya baat hai, aaj toh hero sahab bada chehek rahe hai.

Anirvaan, aware of his father's sharp instincts, closed his eyes nervously. He couldn't afford to reveal the source of his happiness, especially the distraction on the set.

Anirvaan: (trying to act casual) Aisa kuch nahi hai, papa. Bas aaj mood bhi accha hai aur din bhi.

Amay observed his son, raising an eyebrow. Before he could prod further, Suman, intervened.

Suman: (playfully scolding Amay) Ohh hoo, Amay! Aap toh shuru ho jaate ho. Baccha khush hai toh rehne do na.

Anirvaan silently thanked his mother for stepping in at the right moment. Suman looked at her son, understanding the unspoken gratitude.

Suman: (smiling) Jaa bacche, tuhje late ho raha hoga.

Anirvaan nodded, kissed his mother on the cheek, and left with a smile. As he departed, Amay couldn't resist a playful move. He took out his handkerchief, wiped the area where Anirvaan had kissed, and smirked at Suman.

Suman rolled her eyes at her husband's possessiveness but couldn't help but smile at their playful banter.

On the bustling set of "Pyar Ki Pariksha," Anirvaan, dressed in the suave attire of his onscreen character Arun Roy, awaited the commencement of the scene. Nearby, the actress playing Maya was getting ready in her vanity van.

Manish, the director, approached Anirvaan, ready to discuss the upcoming scene. Anirvaan, however, seemed lost, his gaze fixated on the entrance of the set. Manish noticed his distraction and gently tapped Anirvaan's shoulder.

Manish: (concerned) Is everything okay? You're okay, right? Tabiyat toh thik hai na?

Anirvaan snapped out of his reverie, slightly flustered.

Anirvaan: (distracted) Haan... Yes, sir. Aap kuch keh rahe thay?

Manish: (explaining the scene) Okay, so today's scene is like this - Arun Roy is heading to his office when he encounters some goons. They demand money, and he hands over everything, except the chain around his neck, a gift from Maya. The goons attack, and Arun defends himself, kicking and beating them. Got it?

Anirvaan: (nodding) Okay, I got it.

Manish, satisfied, signaled for everyone to return to their positions. The crew prepared for the shoot, and Anirvaan stood in the designated spot. Manish gave the cue.

Manish: (calling) Roll camera and ACTION!

As the scene unfolded, Anirvaan performed his character with precision. However, his eyes were drawn to the entrance, anticipating the arrival of the new set manager.

Just as the scene reached its intense climax, Drishya entered the set, observing the dynamics and intricacies of the shoot. Her eyes fell upon Anirvaan, who looked nothing short of handsome and dashing in his character's persona. The realization struck her, and she couldn't help but mumble.

Drishya: (mumbling to herself) Dishu sahi keh rahi thi... he is the heartthrob.

The intense scene was unfolding as Anirvaan, in his role as Arun Roy, was supposed to overpower the goons. However, his gaze kept betraying him as he couldn't help but steal glances at Drishya, the new set manager, standing at the edge of the set.

Anirvaan stumbled back when a goon actor threw a punch. Manish, the director, immediately called for a halt.

Manish: (shouting) CUT! Anirvaan sir, kya kar rahe hain? Arun Roy ko goons pe bhari padna chahiye, not the other way around.

Anirvaan nodded, refocusing on the scene. But as the action resumed, his eyes once again drifted towards Drishya. This distraction proved costly, and the goons landed another hit, causing Anirvaan to stumble and fall.

Manish: (annoyed) CUT! What's happening today, Anirvaan? Mukka laat maarna hai, mukka laat khaana nahi hai!

The crew rushed to help Anirvaan stand up. Manish, frustrated, decided to take a break.

Manish: (calling out) Aadhe ghante mein phir se shuru karte hain, guys. Take a break!

As Anirvaan drank water to recover, Manish approached him, accompanied by Drishya.

Manish: Anirvaan, this is Drishya Grewal, our new set manager.

Anirvaan's grip on the water bottle loosened upon hearing her name. Drishya extended her hand for a handshake, and Anirvaan, still a bit flustered, reciprocated.

Drishya: (smiling) Nice to meet you, sir.

Anirvaan's heartbeat raced as he mumbled under his breath, "And you are beautiful, sweetheart."

Drishya: (confused) Aapne kuch kaha?

Anirvaan: Aapne kuch suna?

Drishya: (shaking her head) No.

Anirvaan: (grinning) My bad, you should have.

Manish shook his head at the unusual exchange and left the two. Drishya tried to retrieve her hand, but Anirvaan held on.

Drishya: (assertive) I need to go.

Anirvaan: Sure

Drishya: Aap haath chodenge toh jaaungi na!

Anirvaan: (mumbling) Yeh haath ab nahi chutega

Drishya: (confused) Why are you talking to yourself?

Anirvaan grinned and finally released her hand.

Anirvaan: Drishya!

She turned around to face him.

Anirvaan: (smiling) You have a beautiful name!

He winked at her as she walked away, leaving Anirvaan with a grin that lingered on his face.

Drishya entered her room after a long day on the set, only to find her younger sister Disha and brother Devam there, seemingly up to something.

Drishya: (questioning) Tum dono yaha kya kar rahe ho?

Devam: (grinning) Hum aapse gossip lene aaye hai.

Drishya: (confused) Gossip?

Devam: (excited) Ohh ho di, aap Anirvaan Shekhawat ke saath kaam kar rahe ho. You know he's handsome and hot!

Drishya rolled her eyes at their antics.

Drishya: (clarifying) Main uske saath kaam nahi kar rahi, uske liye kaam kar rahi hoon. I am the employee there, not his partner.

Disha: (persisting) Come on, di, batao na, how was he?

Drishya: (feigning indifference) Who?

Disha: (teasingly) Aree, Anirvaan, aur kaun?

Drishya: (casually) He's okay.

Drishya knew she was downplaying her impression of Anirvaan. He wasn't just "okay"; he left a remarkable impact on her, but she chose not to disclose it.

Devam: (triumphant) Chalo, Disha di, bet ke paise nikalo. Main jeet gaya.

Drishya looked at them, puzzled, as Devam explained.

Devam: (smirking) Maine aur Disha di shart lagai thi. Disha di ka kehna tha ki aapko vo hero bahut pasand aayega, aur maine kaha tha ki aap uspe itna dhyan nahi doge. And see, I won!

Disha reluctantly handed Devam the money.

Disha: (skeptical) Drishya di, are you sure he was just okay?

Drishya: (maintaining composure) Haan, and both of you, out now. I need to change.

They both left her room, leaving Drishya alone with her thoughts. As she changed, she couldn't help but remember the moments with Anirvaan, especially when he said she had a beautiful name and winked at her. There was something about him that made her feel comfortable, and a smile played on her lips as she reminisced about the day.

The Shekhawat family gathered around the dining table, enjoying their dinner. Anirvaan was seated, and everyone was immersed in the flavorsome meal. Suddenly, Suman noticed something and inquired.

Suman: (concerned) Ani, yeh tuhje chot kaise lagi?

All eyes turned to Anirvaan as he paused, realizing his mother's observation.

Anirvaan: (nonchalantly) Kuch nahi, Mumma. Bas, set pe chota sa accident ho gaya tha.

Amay, while munching on his food, chimed in with a playful tone.

Amay: (teasing) Nazar hati durghatna ghati.

Suman shot Amay a disapproving look, and he responded with an innocent puppy face.

Amay: (innocently) What? I am just saying ki Ani, you should have been careful.

Anirudh shook his head at his son's antics, and Abhiram couldn't resist giggling at his father's statement. The bond Amay shared with his sons was more like that of friends. While he loved all his children, Anirvaan being his firstborn held a special place in his heart. He thoroughly enjoyed teasing his eldest.

Anirvaan, aware of his father's playful nature, played along. However, Abhiram seized the opportunity to add his own twist to the conversation.

Abhiram: (smirking) Yeh kahavat thodi purani ho gayi, Papa. Aap yeh kaho ki kis pe nazar thii, jo yeh durghatna ghati.

Anirvaan, caught off guard, choked on his food as Abhiram looked at him with a mischievous grin, silently conveying that he knew what had transpired on the set earlier.
