Kailashi : Aarya you have married her . So bring her to home.
Aarya ; Buwa Maa you know that marriage has no importance. To save that girl from those Adivasis I put sindur at her forehead only.
Kailashi : Marriage is an unbreakable bond beta …You have filled sindoor and gave her an identity as your wife …..So bring her home as she is my bahu…
Aarya : But buwa Maa…That was not real…..You know na I am a tv serial actor…..
Kailashi : But those adivasis were real and they captured you both , won’t they ?
Aarya : Ji
Kailashi : Then you filled sindoor at her maang for saving her ….That means you have accepted her ….
Aarya : But buwa maa….
Kailashi : Buwa Maa bulati ho mujhe tum, after the demise of your parents my bhaiya and bhabhi I bought up you as my child . In fact I gave extra attention to you than my son , Hein naa ?
Aarya : Ji
Kailashi ; Then bring that girl here ….Other wise leave this house….
Aarya : Buwa Maa!!
Kailashi : I didn’t give you the culture of leaving your beloved ones Aarya….If you want to stay as my son in this house you should bring your wife. Otherwise never show me your face and forget that you have a buwa maa who stood for you like your parents….
Aarya : Please buwa maa don’t say like these …For god sake don’t say that I am not your son…I will surely bring her home…..
Kailashi : Then do that soon.
Aarya goes in search for that girl. He recalls the whole incident.
Aarya : Will you just stop drinking water ?
Gopika : What’s your problem if I drink water ?
Aarya : Listen we are on a trip to the shooting location of the serial it’s a dense forest and for your kind information there won’t be any washrooms in that area.

Gopika : I was feeling very thristy and I used to drink water at intervals and I know to manage myself. You don’t feel awkward to say that there won’t be washrooms in forest …
Aarya : I said truth only and I felt nothing as awkward in that.
Gopika : Listen Mr.
Aarya : Aarya Prakash….
Gopika : Whatever …..Apne kaam se matlabe rakho….
Aarya walks away without saying anything. After a long journey the whole crew reaches the forest. A romantic scene of Gopika and Aarya was shot .
After finishing the shot both of them started arguing.
Gopika : Why you held me so tightly ?
Aarya : What ? See whatever director explained I did that only. And by the way why you put your hands on my chest ? You was taking advantage of a bachelor
Gopika : What ? Are you mad ? You know naa the scene was like I was felling over you and you holding me , so it’s natural the hand may touch your body …
Aarya : Exactly…What the scene demanded I did that only…You are simply arguing with me for silly things….
Gopika : I am not arguing..You started the argument only…..You have problem when I drink water, you have problem when you didn’t get window seat…..
Aarya : This is too much ….I don’t want to talk to you…..Aap apne raste aur mein apne raste….Please.
Gopika : Fine…..I am also not interested to talk with you..
Gopika started going towards the river side….
One of the crew member said : Gopika Mam across the river Adivasis are living . If they find people out of the forest they will kidnap those people and anything can happen…So please don’t go there.
Gopika didn’t give attention to it. Though Aarya listened it he thought why he should tell this to her as she didn’t leave a chance to argue….Time passed and almost after an hour every one got worried for Gopika…..
Director : I guess wild animals may have attacked her or any group of Adivasis have take her with them….
Aarya : She herself is like a tigress so tiger won’t attack her …
He laughs louder saying this.
Director : Aarya , please this is a serious matter and whole members of our team are worried for them…..I have informed police and forest officers here..They are in search of her….Hope we will get any information.
The members of the crew said they are afraid of searching across the river as anything can happen.
Aarya ; In that case I will go there .
Director ;No Aarya it’s very risky . Please don’t go there.
Aarya ; Sir lead actress of our show is missing and how long we will sat here ? If death is written in fate then it will happen, but if survival is written in fate then I will surely bring Gopika with me….
Aarya crosses the river and reaches a very dense forest area where he sees so much Adivasis . He finds Gopika also there. But she was under their custody and they were helding poisonous arrows, axe and weapons
Gopika was dressed up like an Adivasi and some women have grabbed her hands.
Aarya ; Gopika !!
The Adivasis beat Aarya with their weapons and forcefully takes him to their hut.
Gopika screamed : Aarya !!
They made Aarya also to wear the costume of Aadivasi. Both Gopika and Aarya were surrounded by Adivasis
Head of Adivasi : We will chop heads of these two and will do abhishek of Van Devta with their blood. Take them before Van Devi.
Gopika : Please leave us , we are also people like you …
Head of the Adviasi : Shut up. City people like you comes and destroys the plants and trees of forest . Because of that Van Devi is not giving rain …She will be happy if we gave bali of you two.
Aarya : Please listen to us….We are not among those city people whom you think. We respect and value nature and it’s resources….We just came here for our serial’s shooting only..After finishing it we will go back. We won’t pluck a single leaf here…Please believe us…..
Gopika : Please leave us….We are innocent….Please..
Meanwhile one of the Adivasi lady felt sad for them….She whispered to her in her ear : Before the sunset if the girl is find as married that girl will be never given as bali to VanDevi….Because VanDevi is been conisdered as the protector of Suhagan Ladies…If you both say you are husband and wife may be Mukhiya will leave you…
Gopika looked Aarya and screamed ; Aap kuch kehte kyun nahin? Hamari shaadi abhi abhi huyi hein aur humein ek saath jeene ka mauka hi nahin mila…Uss se pehle hi hum donon alag ho jaayenge..
Aarya felt strange…..But he didn’t says anything.
Head : This girl is telling she is his wife. How can we chop heads of a married couple ?Van Devi will curse this forest then…..
Aarya understood now why Gopika lied like that.
Aarya : Mukhiya ji please…..Please leave us….Please…. I want to live with my wife…Please ….
Head : Okay we will leave you both. But where is sindoor and mangalsutra ? She is a married woman and how can her forehead remain without sindoor ?
Aarya : Mukhiya Ji we are city people like you said and now a days everything has become modern . So there is no need to wear all those things….
Head : But our culture of jungle is rooted in this soil and we are not like you to change culture and values….Before Van Devi fill sindoor at her maang…
Gopika : No…..How can it be…..
Head : That means you both were lying…Now there won’t be any delay in chopping off your heads..
Suddenly Aarya held Gopika towards him and filled sindoor at her maang

Gopika looked him shockingly…..
Aarya ; Gopika is my wife and I am her husband ….No one can cut my wife’s head before me…
Gopika emotionally looked him. He also looked her….
https://youtube.com/shorts/m1sQfkpOOh4?si=Rkmwv3d6C82pNPRL
Head : Now you both can go freely. We won’t stop you….
Aarya helds Gopika’s hand and started walking. Gopika was dumbstruck with words. She was accompanying him without saying anything.
Aarya : What you think of yourself ? You are not Tarzan and what was the need of crossing river and going there ? Director and others already warned us …Why you are not listening to anybody….
Gopika didn’t says anything… Aarya and Gopika reached the shooting spot back. All the members were happy to see them. Aarya explained things to the crew and the members got really shocked to hear the incidents. The last shot was pending to shot.
Director ; After taking that shot we are leaving this jungle….. Now we will never come back to this place.
The make up artist came and wiped sindoor of Gopika. Gopika’s eyes went teary when the sindoor got wiped off.
Make up artist ; What happened Mam ?
Gopika :Nothing….I was missing my Maa, that’s it…
Aarya overhears it and feels sad for her.
The last sequence was shot . Gopika became very emotional after the shot got finished.
Aarya ; Gopika are you okay ?
Gopika : Yeah….Last sequence of our serial, last shot …We both played as husband and wife in this serial…..And that day at the Jungle……
Aarya ; I am sorry for saving us I did that …..Other wise those Adivasis would have ..
Gopika : I know…..Thanks Aarya…And sorry for arguing with you unnecessarily.
Aarya : Gopika….It;s okay…..Bye…..Let’s hope we will meet
Gopika : Where ?
Aarya ; I mean in any other show, web series …..
Gopika : May be …..Bye…
The whole crew travelled back to the city. All of them reached their homes. But that night a breaking news came in news channels ….Television actress Gopika Bhansal is missing….
Aarya got shocked…He tried Gopika’s phone but it was not reachable.
Aarya thought : Where she has went ?
Kailashi : Aarya why you looks so upset ?Do you know her ?
Aarya : Buwa Maa she is my co-actress ……And I….
Kailashi : Beta…..
Aarya explained everything…..
Kailashi : Beta I feel something has happened to her …You should bring her here, she is your wife…..
Aarya : No Buwa Maa…It’s not like that…
Kailashi : I don’t want to hear anything ..You left your wife alone which is not right….
Present time
Aarya took a deep breath and goes to Gopika’s house. The house was surrounded with police …
Commissoner : Accha huwa aap khud hi aaye ….We were about to call you for an enquiry ..
Aarya : Me…
Commissoner : You married your co-actress and left away ……
Aarya : What ? Sir this is not true..
Commissoner handovers a letter to Aarya . Aarya opens the letter and reads it.
Dear Aarya , You filled sindoor at my maang and give me an identity now . I am always grateful for you giving me this identity. I felt very lonely at my home without my Maa…..At the end of each day I realize I am an orphan ….But after you gave me the identity you left me alone and I don’t have any complaints against you. May be you won’t felt it as real but I felt it as real…Yours Gopika
Commissoner gets a call from Kailashi .
Commissoner ; Mr. Aarya Prakash your buwa told that Miss Gopika Bhansal is been with her safely and she has taken Gopika Ji to your home. And your buwa will officially declare the wedding of you both . Congrats in advance Mr. Aarya and sorry for troubling you…
Aarya rushes to his home . He gets shocked to see Gopika with his Buwa
Aarya : What are you doing here Gopika ?
Gopika ;Patni ki jagah pati ke ghar mein uske dil mein hoti hein….
Aarya : Gopika …..You are not my wife…
