"I aspire to be known by everyone someday."

"You could be the most famous person in this world but it's all vain if in the end, you're just
nobody to everyone."

"Well, everyone knows you.
  Whom do you aspire to be?"

"Being nobody to everyone is duller than you think. If I want to be greater, then I hope that someday, I'd be
somebody to someone."

With her first film just released, when Nandini Murthy landed herself the lead role under her dream filmmaker, she was prepared to live the fairytale.

As she slowly learns how wearisome it could be to work amongst stars that the entire nation idolises, on one tiring night, after she completes shooting for the day, Nandini finds herself at a music concert of the industry's biggest superstar, Manik Malhotra.

It was all smiles when they met backstage and she was only star-struck by his suave form until she wakes up the next day and sees the cover page of every elite newspaper to be a picture of the two of them.

One photograph.
One scandal.

And two lives changed, forever.

I just wanna be somebody to someone, oh,
I wanna be somebody to someone, oh,
I never had nobody and no road home,
I just wanna be
somebody to someone.

–Someone to you, BANNERS

Thank you for choosing to read ahead.

Please do keep in mind that I am a writer who'd continue to learn along the journey of this book. My works are not perfect and neither am I, but I will try my best to put in my everything into every scene written in this book.

Your votes, comments and feedbacks matter so much to me.
