Fashion Page #3

I only have mineral water.

Especially when someone

else is paying the bill.

But how can we eat out here,

it's so expensive.

Just relax, okay?

Mrs. Agarwal is an NRI.

She is very rich.

She told me to have lunch

and add the bill to her account.

- Shomu called today. Yes.

- What?

She said there is

a party at some hotel.

If I have to make contacts,

I must go.

Should I go?

Of course, you should go Meghna!

Networking is very important.

What fun!

Lunch and dinner both

at a five star hotel.

You are on a roll.

"Hey baby!"

Sorry. Hi, Janet here.

Stop fooling around.

The girls have been waiting in

the lobby since long.

Listen, there are three girls...

...one of them is new.

Just explain it to them.

Properly, okay?

Yes, I'll be there in five minutes.

Sorry, Sameer,

I have to go.

Working, you know.

Love doesn't provide food.

Sameer?

Not Sameer, honey, Sohail.

Oh, it's my fault. Sorry. Bye.

- Stay together, okay?

- Okay.

Where is Bajaj?

- Hello Janet!

- Hello!

Welcome to the party,

how are you?

- Very well. How are you doing?

- Come. Come.

- Come. Come.

- Let me introduce you to my friends.

- Sir... Janet, meet Mr...

- Hi.

A young businessman from Oman.

- Hi.

- And sir, meet Ms. Janet.

She is a very well-known

model from Mumbai.

- Hi... very nice meeting you.

- Nice to meet you.

Nice meeting you.

- Meet my friends, Shaheen.

- Hi. - The music video queen.

The 'Kanta laga' type.

- She is Meghna.

- Hello.

The famous super hit

Bollywood item girl.

- She is Anita, the famous calendar girl.

- Hello.

Hi!

One vodka with coconut

water on it. Vodka?

No thank you, I don't drink.

Drink up. It's free and imported too.

Shomu said that I could

make some contacts here.

- Drink ma'am.

- Contacts? And that too here?

Just smile and look pretty

for the photographs.

And then ourjob is done.

That's it!

- Thank you. - Janet!

- Yes Bajaj, coming.

Good party, isn't it?

Mukesh Tyagi.

I run an ad agency.

Talent Unlimited and you?

Meghna Mathur...

You are a model, right?

No, not as yet but hopefully...

Come on, you look professional.

Send me some of your photographs.

I suggest that you

drop in to my office.

I have good contacts...

perhaps I can help you.

- Sure...

- Do one thing, this is my card and...

- call me up on my mobile.

- Okay?

Janet, Meet Mr...

Mukesh Tyagi.

He runs an ad agency. Yes.

Talent Unlimited.

"Send me your pictures."

Or "drop into my office."

He says he has a lot of contacts.

He has been doing the party

rounds since the past five years.

Listen, fraud...

- ...with those old lines, you won't catch any fish.

- Go from here.

What's the problem with

you small town girls?

Anyone who speaks halfway decent English,

can get anywhere with you.

Come on, let's go.

You want to make contacts.

Janet, Reema, Meghna.

Dolly, that's your 15,000.

I've cut five for the advance.

- There are 10,000 in the packet.

- Okay, fine.

And here's your 18,000.

Don't ask for conveyance.

We've got a party like this

after a month. Get it.

And Meghna...

It's yourfirst time so

I'm paying you 12,000.

What are you looking at?

Here take it.

Don't want it?

No... but... money?

You're paid for the work you did.

Work?

Didn't you pose for the camera?

People like having girls

at such parties.

Mr. Bajaj is an event manager...

...he contacts me for the models.

It's like this...

...pretty girls increase the glamour

quotient for such parties.

High society calls this

eye candy, understood?

Here take this.

Here.

And here, Reema.

- What's this? Where have you been?

- What do I do?

Don't you want your money?

What should I do?

The world of glamour is strange...

...you are so desperate

to achieve success...

...that the difference between

what's right and wrong begins to blur.

To be honest, there's barely

any time to think about it.

As the date for the portfolio got closer...

...my hopes began to diminish.

Meghna darling,

why are you so tense?

Everything will work out,

dear. I promise.

How is it possible, Rohit?

Only six days to go for the portfolio...

...and I still don't have the money.

You know what he said...

If I don't pay the entire amount...

...then I forfeit the advance.

And I still have 30,000 to go.

Meghna, if you don't mind...

Shomu's offer is still open.

I don't know.

You could give it a try.

It's worth a shot.

Lingerie?

"Beautiful lady."

"Drive me crazy."

"Beautiful lady."

Janet, show some more skin.

I've shown enough for

what I've been paid. Get it?

Fine, let's get on with it.

"Come on."

"Beautiful lady."

"You drive me crazy."

"You drive me crazy."

Don't feel shy.

It's weird for the first ten seconds...

...after that, you will get used to it.

Come on madam.

Take off your gown.

There are other models

waiting for the shoot.

Quickly, there are three more to go.

Come on madam,

make it quick.

Just feel free, do not stress.

- Take this.

- Meghna, relax.

Archana... very good.

- Have some tea, you will feel better.

- No.

Okay, left profile now.

- Janet, your cheque.

- Thank you.

Meghna, that's yours. You remember

my commission, right?

Yes, but Shomu are you sure this...

...advertisement won't be released here?

I told you that it won't get released here.

This advertisement is only for Sri Lanka

and Bangladesh. Is that clear?

Don't worry.

You've done the advertisement now, so...

- Now chin up.

- Just have a smoke and chill.

Thanks. I don't smoke.

Meghna, don't think so much.

The lesser you think,

the more you will make.

Thanks Janet.

Oh yes. Tomorrow is

your portfolio shoot, isn't it?

- Yes. Thanks.

- All the best. I know you'll rock.

Okay guys, let's get this done.

Alright... just look up a bit.

Relax, yes. Okay.

Now look at me. Smile.

Yes, nice. That's good.

Look at me and chin down.

Chin down.

- Chin down.

- Chin slightly down. Relax now.

- Okay. Do it again!

- Sorry.

Smile... yes. Much better.

Okay, great.

Look at me. That's a nice smile.

Hold that.

Hold that pose.

Superb!

Anisha, didn't I mention that...

I haven't seen a striking

impressive face recently.

And I finally found one.

She is unbelievable.

- Irene.

- Yes, ma'am.

- Send in the Kartik girl, please.

- Okay.

Meghna Mathur!

That's me!

So you want to be a model?

No ma'am.

A super model.

Ambitious.

Do you know the city gets

two hundred girls everyday...

...who aspire to be a model.

I know.

But... how many of them...

...get a chance to sit across you?

- Kartik was right, you have spunk.

- Thank you.

But that will not suffice.

What did you tell me your name was?

- Meghna...

- Yes, Meghna.

Meghna, in the fashion industry...

...even a little talent will do.

But if you have the wrong attitude...

...nothing will work.

You have attitude.

Use it with prudence or

it will be mistaken for arrogance.

That won't happen.

Really!

Yes.

Won't you be there to guide me?

I like your confidence.

What are you doing tomorrow?
