Hi guys! 

I am back with another update of Mujhse Dosti Karogi? Usually, I update two chapters of this story together but because this chapter itself was so big that I didn't get the time to write the second chapter. But, in this chapter, I have tried to show a Mumbai Darshan in the best way possible. So as I am not a Mumbaikar, if I have done any mistake I am asking for an apologize now itself. 

"Hello, yeah hi! I am Ekta Kapoor, mere manager ne bataya tha aapke baarein mein. Bataiye.", Ekta Kapoor said while she was fiddling through her Instagram.

The person on the other side was giving her a story brief, he wanted her to produce the show.

"Just wait a minute, see I really won't be able to give you an unbiased review about your story until I meet you in person. Let's do one thing, call my secretary and just get a meeting fixed for tomorrow or maybe the day after. Let's meet and discuss this story then", she said and kept the phone.

Ekta Kapoor was the czarina of the Indian Television. The Indian Television was what it was because of her. She had produced some remarkably great shows in the past.

While she was going through her Instagram checking the craze fans had for her show, she got a call for Muzammil Desai.

Muzammil Desai was the talent that she had found. He had given her some really good shows which had a long run and gained a really high TRP.

"Haan Muzammil, bolo", Ekta picked up the call and said.

"Ma'am I have an amazing idea for a TV serial. I think it'll rock the TV industry", Muzammil said, excitedly

"Muzzi, yeh sab phone mein karne ki baatein nahi hoti kitni baar kahan hai maine tumhe seedha office aajaye karo aur mere cabin mein aake liye karo yeh baatein.", Ekta replied.

"Okay ma'am, I'll be there in sometime"

"Sometime wagera kuch nahi chalega, I need you in the office NOW!"

Ekta kept down the phone and was waiting for Muzammil to tell her his story idea.

Meanwhile Shraddha and Vinny (ShraVin) were having the best time of their life.

Vinny's look 

"Bhaiya humein pehle kahan le jaa rahe ho aap?" Shraddha inquired.

"Madam, sabse pehle toh hum elephanta caves jaa rahe hai. Toh gaadi hum log Gateway of India ke pass chod denge aur wahan se ferry pakad lenge elephanta tak." the driver replied.

"Isn't it surprising Shraddhu? Hum log kitne saalon se Mumbai reh rahe hai aur ab tak hum log kabhi Elephanta Caves nahi dekha.", Vinny said as a matter of fact.

"Kya karein. Jab aaye the tab interviews, shoots se time nahi milta tha, phir jab thoda time mila tab itna fame milgaya ki jaaye jaate the wahan as a ordinary person reh nahi paate the isiliye jaana chod diya." Shraddha replied.

"Madam toh aaj aap kaise jaoge ferry mein? Log toh aapke liye selfie keechane ke liye pagal hojayenge", driver said.

"Bhaiya aap uski tension mat lijiye", both said in unison.

They took out scarfs and a goggle from their bags and covered their faces. The trio soon reached Gateway of India. They parked their car there and got down off it to buy the tickets.

Gateway of India

Vinny bought the tickets and they all climbed into the ferry. The ferry was a 30-45 minutes journey and both Vinny and Shraddha were in awe sewing the landscapes that they passed by. The closer the cave came, their excitement rose to infinity. The ferry came to a halt, the driver tied a knot on the land surface and everyone started getting down one by one.

Ferry 

Elephanta Caves involved a lot of walking that could definitely be tiring.

"Madam, yahan kaafi chalna padhega. Tayar ho na aap?", The driver asked out of concern.

"Bhaiya, dilli wale hai itni seediyon se hum nahi thakne wale", ShraVin said proudly showing off their Dillipana.

They climbed up the stairs and reached the top of the caves. The caves were beautiful and told tales of history. There were gunshots from the gun practices of the Portuguese soldiers. Many of the cravings were broken due to the gunshots. But the ones that survived told the tale of how beautiful and vast the Indian culture was.

Gun shots

After an hour or so of roaming in Elephanta they started their journey back to Gateway. They climbed down the stairs, on their way back down they bought some souvenirs.

"Mein yeh le rahi hu ghar ke liye", Shraddha said pointing to a pen stand with the three Shiva's engraved on it and Elephanta Caves below it.

"Kitna hua bhaiya?", Shraddha inquirer.

"Madam, 150 ka hai yeh", the seller answered.

"Bhaiya, 120 de rahi hu. Rakhlo", Shraddha said.

"Delhi se Mumbai aagayi, Sarojini Nagar se Satya Paul aagayi, par teri bargaining ki aadat nahi gayi", Vinny said jokingly.

"Arre, one should never forget their roots. Chahe Satya Paul pehnu, Rohit Bahl pehnu ya Ritu Beri pehnu, jo comfort SN ke kapde pehen ke sone mein hai woh toh kisimein nahi hai.", Shraddha said remembering their golden days in Delhi.

She paid the money and made her way downstairs.

"Arre, we can buy these too for our fridges", Vinny said pointing at some fridge magnets, some were of Gateway of India, some of Elephanta, etc.

"Bhaiya ismein se chaar dedo koi bhi", she told the seller.

She paid the money and continued to walk. On their way downstairs they bought a lot of stuff like a collection of stones, earrings, dupattas, etc.

They climbed the ferry back to Gateway and in half an hour they reached back. They enjoyed the ferry trip because after ages they were talking. It always used to be either Shraddha was busy or Vinny was, it was hard finding time for both of them together.

They reached Gateway and walked back to the car. They had spent 3 hours in Elephanta Caves, and now they were starving.

"Bhaiya, bhook lag rahi hai", Shraddha said.

"Madam mujhe ek jagah toh pata hai par mujhe yeh nahi pata ki aapko pasand aayega ki nahi", Driver replied.

"Bhaiya iski tension aap mat lo, aap le chalo humein", he took them to the nearby eatery.

In the meantime, Muzammil had reached Ekta's office and briefed her about the show. The show was loosely based on the Hindi Movie Mujhse Dosti Karoge but with a modern take of how the movie would have been if it was to be released in 2020.

Muzammil's look 

"Muzzi, I literally love the storyline. And I know that no one can direct this better than you. You're going to be the best for this." Ekta said excitedly.

"Ma'am I know, but I really don't know ki ismein cast kisko karna hai. I mean as there's a notion that two actresses can never be best friends toh kaise dikhaye itna close bond do best friends ke beech mein? We have to change that notion within the minds of the people ki two actors can be friend", Muzammil said.

"Hmm, you're actually right. Aise bohot kam log hai jo sach mein best friends hai so we'll have to choose very wisely. Let's go to the brainstorming room. Udhar board hai, we'll think of something there", Ekta said.

They both walked towards the brainstorming room.

ShraVin and the driver had reached the restaurant and it was called Bademiyan. Located in Colaba, this was known for its Seekh Kebabs and rolls.

Bademiyan 

"Madam yahan ka Seekh Kebab aur rolls bohot acha hota hai", the driver said.

"Theek hai bhaiya, hum phir Wahi order karenge", Shraddha said.

They decided on the order and Vinny placed the order.

"Bhaiya, do Mutton Seekh Kebab, do chicken reshmi roll", Vinny said.

One separately for the driver and one for Shraddha and Vinny. Whenever they were together, they would always order one and share. Maybe that was why their friendship was so strong - bolte hai na ek hi plate se khao toh pyaar badhta hai.

They chit chatted till the food came. The food came and the first bite they took, they just got lost in the food. It was delicious and it looked mouthwatering. They enjoyed their lunch and after that made their way to the next location.

Mutton Seekh Kebab 

Chicken Reshmi Roll 

While they are reaching their next location, let's see what Muzzamil and Ekta were doing.

They had reached the brainstorming room and were thinking of the best friend pair that they could show in the serial.

"Sriti aur Maanvi?"Muzzamil asked.

"Sriti is already doing Kumkum with us. And her role is essential for us, we can't let her leave the show. Woh toh possible nahi hoga", Ekta said.

"There is Drashti and Sanaya right? Their friendship is prevalent on Instagram too right?", Ekta Kapoor said.

"You're right Ma'am. But rumours has it that Sanaya is working on some movie or web series with Vikram Bhatt", Muzzamil said.

"Oh okay. What about Asha and Riddhi? But yeah Asha Ka Movie aaraha hai she won't be available. And Riddhi too is doing a web series with us.", Ekta questioned and answered her question as well.

"Sanjeeda aur Mouni?", Muzzamil asked.

"Mouni aur Sanjeeda dono hi film line mein ghus rahe hai. I don't think they'll be ready to act in the TV Show.", Ekta said.

She opened her Instagram to look for more such best friend couples. She was checking everyone's story when she came across a story on @sarya12. It was a picture of Shraddha and Vinny sitting together, their heads joined and the food on the table in front. The caption said - "Friends who share together, stay together".

"Shraddha Arya and Vinny Arora!", Ekta exclaimed.

"Kya?", Muzammil asked, perplexed.

"We got our characters, Shraddha Arya and Vinny Arora", Ekta Kapoor said excitedly.

"But Shraddha is a big star in Bollywood, why would she act in our show? And so would Vinny", Muzammil said, concerned.

"Woh definitely karegi yeh show, I know", EK said with a smile on her face.

When they stepped out of the brainstorming room, it was already 4:00 pm. They stepped out to have lunch after which they planned to call Shraddha and Vinny to their office tomorrow.

Meanwhile, ShraVin had reached their next destination - Sassoon Dock which was located in Colaba. They got down and entered the dock.

Sassoon Dock 

"Madam ji pata hai yeh na angrezon ke zamane ka dock hai, sabse purane. 1875 mein bana tha yeh. Abhi yahan pe Mumbai ka bohot bada machchi bazaar hai", the driver said.

"Chal theek hai. Khareedlete hai, tereko waise bhi khaana bohot pasand hai na?", Vinny said jokingly.

They entered the market where there were different varieties of fish available. They bought some fishes of different varieties and left then left the dock. Once she reached back to the car it was already around 5. They made their way to the last location - Girgaon Chowpatty.

In the car, Shraddha got a call on her phone from Ekta Kapoor. She picked it up.

"Hey hi!", Shraddha said.

"Hi Shraddha, just wanted to ask you if you could drop by my office tomorrow morning?", Ekta asked.

"You don't have to ask me. You order me and I'll be there!", Shraddha said.

"Okay cool, I'll meet you at 10 tomorrow morning?", Ekta asked.

"10 is perfect", Shraddha said and kept down the call.

"Kiska phone tha?", Vinny asked.

"Kuch nahi yaar, just a producer called", Shraddha said.

"Oh, cool. Someone's going to get a role.", Vinny said happily.

"Chup kar tu bhi pagal", Shraddha said hitting Vinny.

Just then, Vinny got a call from EK.

"Hi!", Ekta said.

"Hi, tell me.", Vinny replied.

"Vinny, I have an idea for a show so I would like to meet you tomorrow in my office", Ekta said excitedly.

"Oh that's great ya! I'll be there.", Vinny said, happily.

"Cool, at my office like say 10:30?", EK said.

"Aye! Aye! Captain", Vinny said and put down the phone.

"Meeting call?", Shraddha asked excitedly.

"Yeah"

"Chalo acha hai dono kal busy hone wale hai"

Meanwhile, 

"Done dono aarahe kal office mein", Ekta said to Muzammil.

"Ma'am aapne dono ko alag alag time pe kyun bulaya", Muzzamil asked. 

"Kyunki I want it to be a surprise for both of them ki they both are starring in the same show", Ekta answered his question. 

ShraVin reached Chowpatty and got down their car. They went to their favourite Pav Bhaji shop and ordered.

"Bhaiya teen plate pav bhaji der saare makhan ke saath", Shraddha said.

"Theek hai madam", the cook said and continued making the pav bhajis.

"Omg, are they Shraddha Arya and Vinny Arora?", one of the people at that place asked her friend.

"Oh shit yeah man. They are the best friend couple "ShraVin". Let's go and meet them.", the other friend said.

They both went to click pictures with ShraVin and soon there was a crowd around them. They entertained everyone and clicked selfies with everyone. After all was over, they had their favourite makhan wala pav bhaji with extra makhan and gave the perfect end to their day out.

They went into the car and were exhausted from the day's proceeding.

"Madam, agla kahan", the driver asked.

"Bhaiya, home sweet home!", Shraddha said sleep clearly visible in her voice.

They both reached home and went off to sleep because tomorrow was to be a big day! 

And there finishes this chapter, I know by the end of this chapter you would have felt like eating something delicious after seeing Pav Bhaji at the end. So go ahead but before that, do tell me your views about this chapter. And as always, VOTE. COMMENT. SHARE 

I'll be waiting for your reviews as always.
