They happen to be wrapped around his real amour, tarty singer Shabu (Bindu). Flummoxed and furious, she flees back to her rich uncle to beg forgiveness, only to notice that he?s dead, probably of heartbreak. She flees yet again, to the train station. There...
...Despite the competition, would-be stars and starlets keep on coming. Thirty-year-old Prem Pandit, the son of a businessman, arrived six months ago from Jaipur. "I will never join the junior artists," he says. "I have talent. I have good looks. Why should I want to be one of them?" Every morning, armed with his head shots, he visits studios and producers. Assistants take his pictures, promising to summon him for auditions. Very few call back. But Pandit is sure someone out there is going to give him a break. "That is the magic of this business...
