Maya closed the distance between them, taking his hands in hers. "Then don't look at the billboard. Look at me."
An aspiring young actor finally lands a role in a big-budget film with his idol, a popular Kannada actress. He has to balance his professional duties with the overwhelming urge to declare his love.
