After the beauty pageant winners are announced and felicitated. Deep is called by his father; Mr. Ravindra Singhania and informed that he has organized a success party for Deep for becoming India’s most known and successful make-up artist till date. Deep asks, “What was the need for that, Dad?” Everyone already knows that I’m the most successful and talented make-up artist in the whole country, there no need of any party to let people know about it!” Mr. Ravindra Singhania answers, “Of course, there is a need for that, our country needs to know more about your success, so no excuses, get ready for the evening’s party! Since you are born with your mother’s beauty, you need not dress up to impress the guests, just make your presence in the party that is more than enough!” Deep agrees and hangs up his phone.
Evening, Deep’s Success Party
All the guests had arrived and were waiting anxiously for Deep. Just then Mr. Ravindra Singhania makes his entry, thanks his guests for coming and welcomes them into his party. He then introduces about his son, who having inherited his abilities to beautify any man/woman has today become the most successful make-up artist of the country. He then requests Deep to make his presence known to the guests and that is when Deep enters the vicinity of the crowd. As Deep enters the stage of the party, all the guests’ eyes get fixed onto him. They were already amazed after learning of abilities of beautifying people and now were stunned to see his glorious beauty. Deep comes forward and stands next to his father who proudly introduces his son to all his guests. The guests come one by one and congratulate Deep for all his success. Once almost all the guests are done with congratulating Deep. Mr. Singhania takes his son aside near the bar counter, serves him a glass of drink and questions him regarding what he had learnt about Deep’s deeds in the beauty pageant contest. Deep surprisingly asks his father, “How did you come to know about that Dad?” Ravindra Singhania, “Come on Deep, this is a small world.” Deep, “Now what about it?” Ravindra Singhania, “Look Deep I have never stopped you from doing anything, but this time, you should have controlled your anger! You don’t know how much such incidents can affect your image!” Deep pounces his fist on the bar table, the guests turn their heads towards the father-son duo for a moment. Ravindra Singhania tries to change their attention, “What happened? Are you all not enjoying the party?” The guests smile and continue to enjoy themselves in the party. Once all the guests take their eyes off from Mr. Singhania and his son, the former continues with Deep, “Look this is what I told you! You need to control your anger otherwise….” Deep “You know Dad! You know how much I hate ugly deformed things and when, at that time, on stage I saw that bony structured woman I was filled with horror, I couldn’t handle the sight of such an ugly woman in front of me which is why I burst out!” Mr. Singhania keeps his hand on his son’s back, rubs it pacifyingly and says, “I understand Deep and I have never stopped you from trying to achieve the most beautiful things in this world, but my boy, the way you behaved with that girl….” Deep cuts in, “She deserved it Dad! She should have known that the beauty pageant was not her piece of cake, but still she joined in just to make a joke of the whole contest and of REAL BEAUTY”. Mr. Ravindra Singhania looked sadly at his son, he did not know how to make his son control his anger when it was him who was the real one responsible behind Deep’s obsession for beauty and his hatred for ugly and deformedness. Just when, the father-son were still talking, there was a voice heard from behind saying, “Won’t you introduce your son to me, Ravindra?” Both Deep and Ravindra turn their heads around to see a stylish and classy looking middle-agedman smiling cheerfully at them.
