Hi all,

Thanks for each one of your out there reading the first chapter for appreciating my work and voting and commenting in huge number. It's because of you guys that I got the courage to write this fan fiction. And here I am, back with my first chapter of Tu Hi Yaar Mera. It's a lengthy one, I have tried to write what I felt would have happened inside the Bigg Boss house and brought it into paper. This is 100% work of imagination and has nothing to do with reality expect for the characters are real. 

Bigg Boss 13 was in its last leg, the final 7 contestants who entered the finale week were - Sidharth, Shehnaaz, Asim, Paras, Mahira, Rashami and Asim. The atmosphere outside was doubtful, the ending of Bigg Boss would fill a void in the life of all those who had devoted themselves to watching Bigg Boss and supporting their favourites. Kudos to them that Bigg Boss had got record breaking TRP as a result of which the show had been extended by 4 weeks. But what after a week, they thought?

The Bigg Boss fans got an answer to their questions when Salman Khan announced that the next show that would replace Bigg Boss would be something related to marriage of one of the Bigg Boss 13 contestants. Whom no one knew. There were rumours that it'll be the wedding show of Shehnaaz, but it was far from possible. Aarti was also a possible contender for the wedding show.

Let's see what was cooking inside.

Shehnaaz and Sidharth were lying down on the bed like they always did. Shehnaaz resting her head on Sidharth's arm and Sidharth hugging her closely with Shehnaaz's hand resting on Sid's chest. They were enjoying the last a few days in the Bigg Boss house dil se because they knew they might not get this freedom when they stepped out of the house.

SidNaaz

"Sid, tujhse kuch puchna hai meko!, Shehnaaz whispered.

"Puch na", Sid answered.

"Tu mere liye kya feel karta hai? Sach sach bataiyo warna aaj toh mein tera juloos nikalungi Bigg Boss khatam hone se pehle", Shehnaaz ordered.

Sidharth laughed and said "Tu pagal hai!"

"Bata na yaar mujhe tu"

"Kya batau tujhe mein?"

In the Control Room, the employees were watching what was happening inside the Bigg Boss house.

"Arre yaar, yeh log saath mein kitne pyaar aur acche lagte hai", one of the crew member said.

"Bilkul sahi bola tune. In paanch mahinon mein itna toh pata chal gaya ki yeh dono ek dusre se beyhadh pyaar karte hai", the other employee said.

"Kaash Sid batade ki woh Sana ke liye kya feel karta hai, itne seasons dekhliye Bigg Boss par jitna is season mein SidNaaz ne kamaal dikhaya hai waise toh maine kabhi nahi dekha", the employee said.

"Bol toh tu sahi raha hai bhai", his colleague replied.

"Yahan pe tumhe kaam karne ke paise milte hai ya jahan beth ke contestants ke baarein mein judgement dene ke. Agar yahi karna hai toh Colors chod do aur boriya bistara bandh ke ghar niklo", a voice from behind said sternly.

They turned only to see Manisha Sharma, the creative head of Colors, standing on the door, her face blood red.

"Kuch toh karna padhega. I can't let this happen. I'll have to do something ASAP!", Manisha exclaimed while walking to and fro outside the door.

"Eureka!", She had got an idea, the idea she was thinking for the longest time.

She took out her phone and dialled a number. "Hi Sir, I know ki Mujhse Shaadi Karoge mein kiski shaadi karwani hai. Mein aaj Bigg Boss house mein jaake usse baat karleti hu, I know woh inkaar nahi karegi", she said confidently.

"But who have your zeroed down on?", the producer asked from the other side of the phone.

"Shehnaaz Kaur Gill", she announced.

"But she's just 26, and her chemistry with Sidharth is being appreciated a lot. I suggest you keep Arti for Mujhse Shaadi Karoge and we can keep SidNaaz for another fictional show maybe, the TRPs would be sky high!", the producer suggested with excitement in his voice thinking about a good TRP.

Manisha was tongue tied. She didn't know how to get out of this, but she did find a way. "Sir, Shehnaaz has definitely been more entertaining than Arti in the show and if she stars in it it'll definitely fetch a great amount of TRP. I agree with your point that if Sid and Dana star together in a fictional show its TRPs will be sky high but for that we'll have to ideate and conceptualize an idea for the show then find producers, directors, ADs and supporting character, that'll be a long daunting task. We cannot take a short term risk for a long term success, right sir?", Manisha knew she had hit the bulls eye, there was no way that the producer could have an answer for such a good reasoning.

"Hmm, you're right Manisha. Please go to the Bigg Boss house and offer Shehnaaz the show", the producer said fully convinced with what Manisha said.

Meanwhile in the Bigg Boss house, Sana was waiting for an answer from Sid. It's not like she didn't know what he felt for her but she wished him to be more vocal about what he felt for her. "Sidharth, tune nahi bataya na toh mein sach bata rahi hu mein flip mardungi."

Sid was looking at Shehnaaz lovingly, she was a pool of positive energy that had swept Sid's heart and soul with her. He was a different person with her, he was happy with her. For once, leaving his mom, sister and family outside to enter the Bigg Boss house and stay there for 5 months was making sense to him. He was loving his time with Sana, loving what Sana had made him into. He knew what he felt for her, but he feared that like all the other loved ones he lost, he would lose Sana too if he told her what he really felt for her. But how long could he stay without telling her what he felt for her?

"Shehnaaz, maine tujhe pehle bhi bohot baar bola hai aaj phir bol raha hu tu special hai mere liye. Mera jaise tera saath bond hai waise kisike saath aaj tak kabhi nahi raha hai aur na hi kabhi rahega", Sid said with all his heart.

Their eyes were moist, one week more and things were to change. The piercing eyes of the media would not let them stay outside the way they stayed inside. Once outside, they were to live according to the "societal norms".

"Bigg Boss chahte hai ki aap sab living room mein ekhathit hojaye", there was an announcement calling everyone to assemble in the living room.

Paras, Mahira, Sid, Sana, Arti, Rashami and Asim gathered and sat on the sofa in the living room. They knew what would happen, someone was destined to leave the house a few days before the finale and it was to be one out of Sana, Mahira or Arti.

(This was just the look of the sofa, they were wearing something else)

(There looks were these)

"Yeh Bigg Boss ka season bohot masti bhara raha, jahan par is season mein ghar ke sadasyon ne niyamon ka kaafi ulanghan kiya, kraya radh karaye, wahi par is season mein humne pyaar, nafrat, ladhai ki misale bhi dekhi. Aaj yahan se ek sadasya bahar zaroor jayega but aap 7 ke 7 sadasya Bigg Boss ke itihaas ke paano pe humesha zinda rahenge. Aap 7 sadasyon ne 15 logon ko pachad ke apni jagah kayam ki, janta ke dil pe raaj kiya aur yahan tak aa pohnche.", Bigg Boss said.

Everyone had moist eyes, it was a memorable journey for each one of them which had difficulties and success. Each one of them who were sitting there had achieved that place with a lot of hard work. May it be Mahira getting teased about her lips, Paras getting criticised about his girlfriend outside and his bald patch, Rashami's private life being a public spectacle, Arti being constantly termed the "weakest", Asim being blamed for Himanshi's breakup, Sana being called as "jealous" and a "flipper" and Sid being a centre of many jokes due to his age. They all had to deal with a lot of bullshit but they all aced it like a boss and there they were the "Super 7". But, now at the last leg of the game, one was to be eliminated.

"Humein bohot dukh hai ki is padav mein aake aap mein se ek ko apne ghar wapas jaana padhega". Arti, Sana and Mahira were nervous. Paras held Mahira's and Sidharth held Sana's hand while she rested her head on his shoulder. Arti was sitting beside Sid, he put a hand around her shoulder. Arti too had helped Sid and had supported him many a times, though he refused to accept #SidArt but he definitely did love Arti as a friend. Though he had saved Paras from the elimination round and he was happy about that, there was an inner voice within him that knew if Arti or Sana were eliminated today, Sid would have been responsible. He was praying to his God, not to eliminate them at least not today.

"Toh is padav mein aakar jo humara saath chodke wapas apne ghar jaa rahi hai woh hai Mahira Sharma", Bigg Boss announced.

There was utter silence. Everyone stood up to accompany Mahira till the exit. Paras hugged Mahira tightly, trying his best to hide those tears.

"Royi mat samjha, aur jeet ke aayio", Mahira said.

She next moved to Sid and hugged him, over the last two months Mahira and Sid had become really thick friends. She hugged Sana, and they both had tears in their eyes. Though, Sana and Mahira were in loggerheads during the end of the show, they had some really memorable moments when Sid and Paras were in the secret room. They both had each other's back, back then. Mahira hugged Arti, Rashami and Asim and stepped out of the house.

The six of the remaining contestants had mixed feelings, happy that they were an inch closer to that shining trophy and sad that they just had a week's time to leave in the Bigg Boss house that had now become their house.

But as they say, khatra abhi tak tala nahi tha. The concept only allowed 5 people to be in the finale which meant there was one more elimination. The six of them continued their activities.

Just then, there was another announcement by Bigg Boss. "Bigg Boss chahte hai ki aap sabhi log garden area mein ekarthit hojaye", Bigg Boss ordered. The contestant rushed to the garden area, fearing the worst, the elimination of another contestant.

Garden Area 

"Yeh show shuru hua toh 29th September 2019 ko. Aap logon ne jab is ghar mein kadam rakha tha aap logon kahin zyada the, itne ki kabhi kabhi humara sofa bhi kam padh jaata tha bethne ke liye, aur phir bache aap 7. Dukh is baat ka hai ki itne khareeb aane ke baad Mahira ko ghar se eliminate hoke jaana padha."

The housemates were alert, they knew what was coming next. Sid, who was standing besides Sana at the end with his arms around her shoulder came in the middle and put his arms on Arti and Sana both. He couldn't afford Sana's elimination, not so close to the finale and Arti's too because that would have given him remorse.

"Par yahan khade aap 6 ke 6, hai humare Bigg Boss 13 ke Final 6. Aap sab finale mein jaa rahe hai", the contestants had tears of joy. No one was getting eliminated, they all had finally entered the finals!

"Arti, Paras, Rashami, Asim, Shehnaaz aur Sidharth Mubarak ho aap sabhi ko aap 6 hai humare Bigg Boss 13 ke kitaab jitne ke final davedar", Bigg Boss announced.

Once the announcement finished, Sid breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling of remorse had gone now, now each and everyone had equal chances of winning the trophy, it was now up to the fans. Sid hugged Arti, while having his eyes fixed on Sana. When Sana turned to move inside, he released Arti, turned and softly pulled Shehnaaz by her hair for a hug. He hugged her tightly, as if that was all he wanted. She rested her head against his chest, that was her safety spot. She did feel bad that he hugged Arti before her but then realized that Sid was a team player and his friends were important for him.

They all went inside the room and were chit-chatting. It was almost midnight.

"Yaar sach bolu, bas ab aur do teen din mein show khatam ho jayega, itna ajeeb sa feel ho raha hai mujhe", Paras shared with the other housemates.

"Sach mein yaar. Even I am feeling that this would create a void in our lives", Asim replied.

"Void matlab?", Sana asked.

"Void matlab khalipan, akele hojayenge na iske baad", Asim replied.

"Haan woh toh hai. Sidharth, bataiyo tu call toh uthayega na mere warna mein tere ghar aajaungi", Sana said.

Rashami and Arti laughed on the way Sana talked to Sid assertively. Only she was the one who could talk to him so assertively and he won't say a word to her. Sid said, "Of course baby, call uthaunga mein tera. Agar mein gyming ya so nahi raha hunga toh", Sid replied.

"Jaa mein nahi karti tujhse baat", Sana faked her anger and left the bedroom and walked towards the washroom. Sid followed Sana to the washroom, while the other four were just watching them with awe.

"Meri Sid se jitni badi bhi ladhai hui ho, cheezein kharab hui ho but I really wish that they both realize what they feel for each other.", Asim said.

"You know mere aur Sid ke opinions kabhi match nahi karte the. Sets pe bohot ladhaiyan hoti thi humari but yahan humare opinion ek cheez ke baarein mein definitely match hote hai, we both love Sana", Rashami said.

Meanwhile, in the washroom, Sana was faking her anger and Sid was trying hard to convince her.

"Arre sweetheart, mein toh mazak kar raha tha. Tu chahe mereko sote time call kare, gym karte time call kare mein tera call humesha uthaunga", Sid said with genuinity.

"Sachi bol raha hai na?", Sana enquired.

"Haan sachi", Sidharth replied.

"Toh phir kha pinki promise", Sana offered her pinki finger (that's the last finger of your hand) and Sid entangled his pinki finger and promised that he would always pick her call.

"Chal ab pappi de", Sana ordered.

Something similar to this happened 

Sid like an obedient man did what his woman said. He planted a peck on her forehead. They were leaving to go to the bedroom when they heard an announcement calling everyone to the confession room together. They all assembled in the confession room and saw some chairs assembled there to accommodate everyone.

They all got seated on the chairs and were waiting for the next announcement when they saw two people entering from the exit door of the confession room. It was Manisha and one of her colleagues.

Manisha entered the confession room and congratulated everyone for entering into the finals. She hugged everyone and then got seated on the sofa.

"So guys, we're here today for a purpose. We are airing a new show from 17th February, the immediate Monday after Bigg Boss gets over this weekend. It's basically like a swayamvar. It's called Mujhse Shaadi Karoge, aur aap mein se ek us show ke main star rahenge. As in, the boys will be coming to impress you and you'll have to choose one of them", Manisha discussed.

"Toh Arti, tera toh sahi hogaya. Tere liye swayamvar ho raha hai matlab soch tu kitni in demand hai.", everyone teased Arti.

"Chup karo tum log", Arti shushed them though she was blushing from inside.

"Sorry guys, I think there's a misunderstanding. Jiska swayamvar ho raha hai woh Shehnaaz hai Arti nahi.", Manisha announced.

It took everyone by surprise. Sid didn't know how to react, he was dumbstruck. He looked at Sana and at that instant he knew that he couldn't let his girl do this show. He couldn't let her make her debut into the TV world with a swayamvar. But, he also knew what Shehnaaz would say.

"Mera swayamvar?", Sana asked while she couldn't control her laughter anymore. She was too young for a swayamvar. And with Sidharth being around, how could she sign up for this show?

"Shehnaaz, aap kaafi popular hui hai bahar aur log aapko Bigg Boss khatam hone ke baad bhi dekhna chahte hai. Humare khayal se agar aap show mein hongi toh uski TRP kaafi achi hogi", Manisha tried to convince Sana.

Sid though looking normal outside was exploding inside. He was praying that Sana would say a "no". But, he knew her answer would be "yes", because she gave the credits for her popularity and fame to Bigg Boss, Colors and Endemol Shine.

Sana took time to think, "Maine humesha yeh cheez dil se kaha hai ki mein Bigg Boss aur Colors ke karan hu jahan mein hu. Agar mere wajah se TRP mil rahi hai woh isiliye kyunki Colors walon ne mereko itna kaabil samjha ki BB house mein laye. Unhi ke wajah se mein logon ke dil mein jagah bana paayi hu so mein is show ke liye haan kehti hu." Sana said, she didn't know if she made the right decision but she knew this was needed. She knew this might hamper Sid and her relationship but she could manage that. He'll agree when she'll explain to him.

Sid was heartbroken with her answer. He continued to keep him calm demeanor, he'll wait till he had a face to face conversation with Sana, alone.

"Theek hai, toh aap contract paper sign kijiye at least ensuring that you won't back out from the show.", Manisha said and gave her the contract paper and the pen. She held the pen closed her eyes for a second muttered "Waheguru" under her breath, opened her eyes and signed the paper.

Manisha left, and before anyone could react to Sana's decision, Sid held her hand and pulled her with him towards the washroom. He removed his mic and so did Sana. Sid pulled her into one of the bathrooms and closed the door. Sid wasn't one with such experiences but he didn't know what else to do. He feared losing her but he couldn't say that in public - thanks to his "playboy" image.

"Kyun kiya tune paper sign?", Sid asked.

"Yaar dekh Bigg Boss 13 ne meri pehchaan banayi hai, mein Shehnaaz Kaur Gill bani hu toh woh Colors aur BB13 ke wajah se. Mereko pura desh jaanta hai yaar ab Sidharth."

"Toh desh jaanta hai toh swayamvar rachegi?", Sid questioned.

"Yaar tu aise kyun baat kar raha hai mujhe. Like itna rudely. Kuch hua hai kya tereko?", Sana asked. "Batade Sidharth, ab toh batade yaar", Sana thought in her mind.

Sid was silent for five minutes, in those five minutes he remembered all those incidents where he had hurt Sana indirectly or directly, the times that she had cried and gone berserk because of him. "No Sid, you can't do this. She deserves someone way better than you. You'll never be able to keep her happy. She has given you all the love she had and you, tune usse sirf rulaya hai. You just can't steal her happiness from her. If she wants to do this swayamvar, I am no one to stop this. She deserves a guy who gives her the first priority." said his inner voice. Seldom did he know that her happiness was Sidharth Shukla.

"Kuch nahi sorry thoda jazbatti hogaya. Dost hai na tu isiliye tension hogayi. Sahi bola tune, tu kar yeh show mein hu tere saath aur humesha rahunga", Sid said.

Shehnaaz hugged Sidharth and Sid hugged her back. He kissed her on her hair and closed his eyes to enjoy the moment, as Sana always used to say jab hug kare toh aankh bandh karke kiya kar. Sana hadn't expected him to agree this soon, but now they had agreed she had no option but to continue with the show. This wasn't the first time Sid was hugging Sana, but that hug felt something different today. That hug was not a friendly hug or a protective hug, that hug was one of worry and fear. He feared losing her, he couldn't afford that.

"Chale ab bahar?", Sana asked.

Sid came out of his trance. He released Sana and opened the door of the bathroom. They stepped out and walked towards the living room area. They noticed that the living room was decorated with flowers and other materials. There was a scroll by the Bigg Boss which said that the promo of the Mujhse Shaadi Karoge right now in the Bigg Boss house.

They dressed up in their traditionals and got ready for the shoot. Sana was called inside the confession room and an announcement of the show was shot with Sana inside.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1227975559755358209 - The first part of this promo was shot inside 

She came out and sat in one of the sofas besides Sid and slipped her hand and held Sid's hand and kept her head on his shoulder. 

They heard the sound of dholaks coming from the storage room and in no time the sound of the dholaks were beaming in the entire living room. The contestants got up and danced to the tune. Shehnaaz was enjoying and giving the dholak players a tough time to catch with her speed.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1227975559755358209 - Refer to the second part of the promo for this, the one with all the dholak 

Sid was in his own world, sitting and watching Sana dance her heart out. These little cute things that she did were enough to take his heart away from him. Sana noticed him staring and her, she went close, took his hand and brought him to the dancing stage. She held his hand on top and made him do bhangda. They enjoyed dancing for a while after which the dholak crew had to bid adieu to the contestants. Next was the shot where Sana told the contestants about her marriage. She went inside the confession room brought her wedding cards and distributed it to the rest of the five contestants.

"17th February se meri shaadi ke functions start ho rahe hai. Please sab pohnchjaana", Sana requested.

The contestants nodded their heads and cheered "Yes", but Sid was just sitting there. She came close to Sid and kissed him on his forehead but Sid pushed her away rather rudely. He went outside to grab a smoke while Sana went inside the bedroom.

Noticing the tension between these two, Paras went after Sid and Rashami went to look for Sana. Sid was inside the smoking room when Paras came and sat on the bench outside.

"Kya hua bhai? Sana ki tension hai kya?", Paras enquired.

"Yaar, hai toh sahi. Pehla show hai uska I really want her to think before she chooses this show.", Sid replied.

"Baat toh sahi keh raha hai par ladki ne Punjabi filmein ki hai yaar. Upar se woh 26 saal ki hai toh jo decision legi sahi hai legi", Paras said.

"Yaar Paras punjabi industry aur Indian TV Industry mein antar bhi toh kaafi hai na yaar. Tu soch na swayamvar ke show se apna shuruvat karegi toh kahan hai uska future? Audience kya sochegi uske baarein mein. Aur hum dono ka kya? We can't stay the way we stay right now right?, Sid said worriedly.

"Tereko tension yeh hai ki she's going to debut with this show ya phir ki tum dono alag hojayega?", Paras asked.

"Dekh bhai dono hi reasons hai. I don't know, woh show mein akeli hogi pata nahi kaise manage karegi. Agar kisi ladke ne batameezi ki toh?"

"Dekh uski tu tension na le, tera dost hai idhar", Paras said.

He took his mike and said "Bigg Boss aap please Manisha ko wapas buladijiye yeh keheke that I have a business proposal for her."

The crew who were seeing it from the record room were excited. They were happy and ecstatic and Sidharth at least, the news of her marriage affected him and that too real bad.

Meanwhile in the bedroom, Rashami was lying in her bed while Sana was lying on hers facing Rashami.

"Tu kyun kar rahi hai yeh show?", Rashami asked.

"Yaar Bigg Boss ne mujhe star banaya hai yeh bas ek kism ka payback samjhle tu", Sana replied.

"Toh bura kyun feel kar rahi hai tu?"

"Yaar Sid, pyaar karti hu usse mein. Nahi dekh sakti usse mein aisa, hurt itna"

"Toh show khatam hone ke baad tu Mujhse Shaadi Karoge karegi toh tujhe dur hona hi padhega na. Aisa thodi hoga ki tu show kar rahi hai aur yahan Sid ko pappi de rahi hai. Reality show hai na woh Sana fiction show nahi", Rashami said with a concerned voice.

"Mujhe nahi pata yaar. Kya pata is show ke towards mujhe apna sacha jeevan saathi mil jaaye ya aur bhi acha, shayad Sid ko apne dil mein mere liye pyaar dikh jaaye", Sana said with hope in her voice.

Meanwhile, the crew at Bigg Boss had informed Manisha about Paras's proposal and she reached the Bigg Boss house. The crew, though illegally, deleted the shot where Paras and Sid were discussing in the garden area. They were SidNaaz shipper and they literally couldn't let this shot be made public. They knew when to make it public too.

Paras was called to the confession room where he met Manisha.

"Look, my dialogue 36 aayegi, 36 jaayegi teri wala toh teri maa hi layengi has been very popular. And this is my 3rd reality show, I know how and where to give content. If you give me a chance, I'll rock the show Mujhse Dosti Karoge. Sana toh hogi hi but agar aap mujhe bhi saath rakhoge toh show mein ladkiyan aayengi, ladkiyan aayengi toh automatically even the young male youth would start watching the show. TRP socho kaha hogi", Paras said, trying to convince Manisha.

Manisha thought for a while "What he's saying is right. He can literally give the show a lot of content and TRP. No harm in keeping him too, Sana ko rakhne ka motive alag tha isko sirf TRP ke liye rakhleti hu", she thought within herself.

"Okay, fine. I like your deal. I'll send your contract papers in a while tab tak you're not allowed to disclose it to anyone", Manisha said and made a move towards the exit.

Paras smiled and said, "Sid bola tha na, mein dosti karta hu toh nibhata hi hu".

Precap - Journey Videos and Finale.

Sorry guys, this chapter is really long and I feel a boring one. I went too much in detail imagining what would have happened and how things would have occurred. Do read it and give in your reviews and suggestions. I always wait for that. And do tell me how much time did you take to read the entire story.

Love,

Varsha
