As the evening was nearing its end, people were flooded with anticipation about who would win the next set of important awards. AdiZa were holding hands silently hoping for the best to happen.

Zain(whispered): Aditi..

Aditi: Hmm..

Zain: They are just awards which can't determine anything baby.

Aditi: I know Zain. But just think how motivated and happy would the Naamkarann fandom be, if their favorites win awards. They have been
longing for celebration since long. Onscreen nahi tho offscreen hi sahi. (If not onscreen, then offscreen).

Zain(smiled): You indeed set an example for all celebrities Adi. I mean, you wish to grab the trophy for the fandom happiness.

Aditi: Even you want them to happy Zain. We are here because they love us unconditonally. No arguments on that.

Zain: True. If not this time, we will keep on try to win those for our fans.

Aditi: Considering the way the channel has interfered in our show and its story, I feel something is cooking up. I get too much negative vibes from the way they are approaching our crew.

Zain: Lets not talk about that. We have a performance coming up. You remember?

Aditi(laughed): Our hot and sizzling one right? Lets go. Its time.

Aditi and Zain made their way to the backstage to get ready for their performance. A playful smirk flashed through Aditi's face every now and then not to be missed by Zain. She was tying the back of her costume with make up artist roaming around her with the final touch up.

Zain: What's with that smirk of yours?

Aditi(acting innocent): Smirk? Not at all. Ulta, I am nervous to dance.

Zain: See Ms.Rathore. I agree that you are a very natural actor. But not in front of me you naughty girl. Whats going on?

Aditi: Nothing na Zain. Come. Lets have a last practice. Its our turn after this set of awards. Come.

Zain(sighed): I will find that out. Take my word.

Aditi suppressed her smile and turned around to start the steps which they remembered after so much practice. Meanwhile, in the auditorium..

Karan: That was a brilliant act by your very own Shivika. Lets go forward to the next set of awards.

Arjun: Best Bahu award and the nominees are:

Anika from Ishqbaaz
Naira from yrkkh
Avni from nk
Ishita from yhm

I invite Devoleena bhattacharya(our very own gopi bahu) to present the award.

Devoleena: The star plus best bahu award goes to..its a tie. Its Naira from yrkkh and Avni from Naamkarann.

(Naira and Avni are true examples of a modern day bahu using their intelligence and bravery as their weapons. Naira deftly manages her responsibilities as wife and daughter in law with much ease. Avni on the other hand leaves no stone unturned to safeguard her family. She left the only possession of her life- her Neil to secure her family.)

Aditi's eyes widened like a saucer and a big smile broke out on her face. Zain turned at once to look at her after hearing the announcement.

Zain: Adi! Run baby run!

Aditi placed a chaste kiss on his cheeks and ran away to the stage to recieve the award. Zain peaked to the stage to watch the scene.

Aditi: Thankyou so much everyone. Thanks a lot.

While Aditi was walking back, it was time for the next set of awards.

Karan: The next award is for spa2018 best beti. The nominations are:
Avni from Naamkarann
Naira from yrkkh
Ruhi from yhm
Susheel from ikyawann
Kanak from tsmsp

I invite Krystal Dsouza and Karan Tacker to present the awards.

Krystal: The starplus best beti award goes to..
Yet again..Avni from Naamkarann

(A daughter who fought the death to get justice to her mother, A daughter who stood against all odds and society to gain respect for her unmarried mother, A daughter for her father in law in every sense, A daughter who limitlessly loved her step mother. No one on starplus can stand against Avni who is undisputedly the best daughter)

The Naamkarann team cheered and shouted at the top of their voice on watching Aditi climb the stairs again and again. Aditi ran back to the stage with the earlier trophy still in her hands giggling at the situation. Zain could not wait any longer and came outside near the stage to see his lifeline in her happiest form.

Aditi: Thanks again! This feels great. Thankyou so much for all your love. Avni Ayesha will stay in my heart forever.

Karan: Congratulations and do one thing. I will get you a chair. Yahi baiti raho tum( be seated here).  No need to go back and come again and again.

Everybody laughed non stop hearing his comment. Aditi smiled and went down the stairs to join the Naamkarann cast with Zain and decided to be there until their performance time.

Arjun: Moving on.. the next award is of best beta.. and the nominees are:
Shivaay from ib
Kartik from yrkkh
Neil from Naamkarann
Aditya from yhm

Karan: And the winner is Neil from Naamkarann and Kartik from yrkkh

(The unconditional love for their parents is portrayed beautifully by both of them. Sensibly balancing all their relationships with adorable love for their parents- Neil and Kartik are really good sons to look upto)

Aditi squeezed his hands tight and gave him the best possible sidehug ever while he caressed her exposed waistline softly making her lose her sanity. Before she could comprehend her complex emotions, he left her side to recieve the award.

Zain: Thanks a lot everyone. Its a pleasure to see your show gathering maximum awards and I am part of it. I feel so proud to be able to portray Neil Khanna. Thanks everyone and Congrats to you too Mohsin..

He soon came back with that trophy presenting it to his creatives. It was time for their performance and they went backstage.

Arjun: How about taking a break for relief? Lets watch your favorite scintillating jodi of Avni and Neil burning the stage with hotness.

At the entry point of the stage:

Zain: Nervous Adi?

Aditi: To be honest, yes. But no issue. Lets nail it.

Zain smiled and proceeded towards the stage with her.

*********
The stage was set for a rainy steamy sequence with water droplets sprinkling from above. Aditi pulled Zain to her and started dancing so seductively completely engrossed in his embrace.

Hai Rama ye kya hua..
Kyun aise hume sataane lage...

Zain lined her pink lips with his thumb clutching her waist tight with the other hand.

Tum itni pyari ho saamne..
Hum kaabu mein kaise rahe...

He lifted and twirled her around finally nuzzling his face into the crook of her neck.

Jaao..humko tho aati sharm hai..

He peppered kisses along her exposed back and sexy belly.

Teri...aisi adaa pe tho fida hum hai...

********

On the stage, there stood a jodi who made heartbeats race with their single movement. With each touch of his, every single nerve of hers responded with exponential sensuality. While the audience interpreted it as a phenomenal act, the truth was that they were having their good times on the stage. The performance ended with water flowing through every curve of their bodies and Zain placing an open mouthed kiss on her tempting mole over her upper lips.

The stage was cleared for the further awards and AdiZa retired to their room. On the way, people congratulated them for that mind blowing performance. Aditi was not in a state to make sense of anything happening around her, but managed to smile at every compliment. Zain excused themselves stating their drenched condition and darted towards a common room they have been given for costume change. As soon as Zain let Aditi in first, closed the door and turned back, Aditi pounced upon him and started eating out his lips like never before. Zain couldn't hold back any longer and pushed open her white shrug sticking on to her extremely turned on body begging for him.. his body heat..his attention. He broke off the kiss and started sucking at her pulse point right at the top of her left breast. She even had a small black mole there driving him crazy for her. His skilful hands caressed her long legs and made her legs curved around his waist. She spread out her dampened hair over his broad naked chest leaving trails of kisses on his belly button. He hissed and inhaled sharply  stroking her calfs, his thumbs circling on her ankles making her arch her body back in desire. She sucked at his adams apple with all her innermost desire much like a hungry tigress and rubbed her body againt his desperate for friction. He started soothing her down by gently patting her back resulting in she coming down from her high.

Zain: Adi...

Aditi(clenched her fists at his opened wet shirt): Why did you had to do that? It badly turned me on..

Zain: Adi.. you are so amazingly hot.

Aditi: And right now so much restless, Right?

Zain: I can't deny that about myself too.

Aditi(composed herself): I am sorry. I didn't realise when I lost it.

Zain: Relax. C'mon. Its me. No issues.

Aditi(teasing): If it was someone else?

Zain(shot her a glare): A.D.I.T.I😐

They laughed and laughed until the next set of awards was going to be declared. They changed their outfit and went back to their seat in the auditorium.

Karan: The starplus best patni award and the nominees are:
Naira from yrkkh
Ishita from yhm
Anika from ib
Avni from NK
Gauri from ib

I invite the very gorgeous Jennifer Winget to give the award.

Jennifer: The star plus best patni award goes to Avni from Naamkarann

(A woman who is bold and daring like none. A woman who loves her husband like anything. A woman who shares all her worries with her husband rather than starting a chup chaap saga, but still goes out of the way to safeguard her husband and family. A wife build of trust, love and admiration. A wife who demands to be treated equally and makes her man go wow respecting her intelligence. Avni Neil Khanna is the best wife ITV has ever seen)

Aditi: Thankyou yet again. Never expected these many awards. Thankyou Neil( gesturing towards Zain). I have become the best wife because of my husband. Thanks a lot.

Arjun: Karan already told you to be here. Sunti hi nahi ho! (you don't listen to us)

Aditi chuckled and came down the stairs earning a big fat howl from the team.

Arjun: Moving on to the best pati and the nominations are:
Raman from yhm
Kartik from yrkkh
Neil from nk
Shivaay from ib
Omkara from ib

Jennifer: And the winner is yet again Neil Khanna from Naamkarann.

The crowd cheered with long whistles and hurrays.

Arjun: Have you guys taken the patent to win all awards? Matlab, hadh hai!( This is the limit!)

Zain: Thankyou Arjun. Thanks Jennifer. Aditi would be very happy today to recieve her award from you. She is a big fan of yours. Anyways, thanks to everyone who loved Neil Khanna. It has been a character set apart from what is usually offered and I am proud to essay that role. Thankyou Avni from being a charming wifey. Thanks to the entire cast and crew of Naamkarann. Thankyou.

Arjun: Time for the next act guys. Well! Its a surprise act. Our dear starplus leading men, are your leading ladies present near you?

Zain looked to his left and to his horror, she was not there! He was bewildered when he saw her adorning a superhot red shimmery top with blue denim making her way to the stage with a catwalk. He rubbed his eyes and blinked non stop to let things sink in. Music echoed in the hall. Crazy kiya re played in the background while Aditi along with Shivangi and Shrenu swayed to the beats enjoying themselves. Aditi dancing flawlessly nearly knocked the air out of his lungs. He recollected her small smirk in the dressing room earlier this evening and smiled at her. She came down the stairs and pulled up him dancing around him. Firecrackers and party poppers blasted away ending the performance. Shocked would be an understatement for the Naamkarann team but it was worth it.

Zain joined an extremely cheerful Naamkarann team soon to be followed by the final awards. Aditi grabbed a chair next to him while everybody showered her with compliments. He looked at her in a 'I will see you soon' manner while she winked at his antics.

Karan: Since starplus and its jodis are superhit not only in India, but also in foreign countries , a category was introduced some years ago to award the popular jodis. The spa2018 Best International Jodi and the nominees are:

Ishita-Raman from yhm
Anika-Shivaay from ib
Avni-Neil from nk
Naira-Kartik from yrkkh

I invite one of our evergreen jodis Arnav-Khushi, Sanaya Irani and Barun sobti from ipkknd to present the award.

Sanaya: The spa2018 best international jodi goes to Avni-Neil from Naamkarann

( The jodi definitely has enormous fan base outside India. Apart from the quality of the couple, this can be the main reason)

The team rejoiced and AdiZa rushed to the stage to recieve the award with a contented smile over their faces.

Aditi: A big thanks to all our international fans for this beautiful surprise. Favorite jodi is something which would stay close to our hearts forever. Thanks a lot everyone.

Zain: Thankyou for loving us a lot. Much love to all of you. We love you.

Just as they were about to go back, Arjun asked them to wait on the stage itself.

Arjun: Who knew next one is also for you or not!? Karan please.

Karan: Yes Arjun. The spa2018 best jodi and the nominations are:

Ishita-Raman from yhm
Anika-Shivaay from ib
Avni-Neil from nk
Naira-Kartik from yrkkh
Gauri-Omkara from ib

Barun: And its none other than Avni-Neil again! Congratulations guys!

(AvNeil has set the norms of ITV couple a notch higher. An unconventional jodi where the heroine is equally the hero and the hero is not an angry arrogant young man. They stood together through thick and thin giving major couple goals. Apart from the beautiful way these characters have been written, their sizzling chemistry give us goosebumps. We tend to forget that they are an onscreen couple and that its a fictional show thats going on. We have fallen in love with the natural aura and minus overacting of both Zain and Aditi. The way they have breathed life into AvNeil is remarkable. Aren't there enough reasons for them to win?)

The entire Naamkarann team ran off to the stage and lifted up Zain and Aditi. Zain lifted and swirled Aditi which made the day for most of the fans. AdiZa recieves the award from the famous ArShi.

Aditi: I really don't have words right now. The result of our hardwork has paid off and I feel grateful to every single soul behind this. Thankyou for giving me no.. giving us AvNeil. And thankyou for giving me this awesome family.

Zain: Yes absolutely. Thanks a lot for giving us AvNeil as our fandom has named us. This is for you guys! Thanks for gifting us each other for she is such a good friend of mine. This mad family and these moments will be cherished. Thanks guys..

Arjun: This is brilliant guys! This team has scooped away almost all the awards of this eve.

Karan: we are so proud of you guys!
Congrats! And ladies and gentlemen, till the next time we meet we bid you a goodbye. Thanks and love from the entire star parivaar!

The loud cheers and joyous laughters of the team drew curtains over the evening. This called for endless celebrations and fun too. Never did they know what awaited them...
