Bhola gazed in the mirror for a long time and ran away from his native town to try out his luck in Bollywood. He was a big movie buff and a carbon copy of the great stammering superstar-Farrukh Khan! He thought that a stuntman body double role would be easily offered to him in the new action movie which was being shot in Mumbai. A few passengers commented on his similarity with the great Farrukh Khan which swelled his chest and triggered a smile to reveal his brown stained teeth.He even could stammer like the superstar! He dreamed about the stunt role and later visualised himself returning to his hometown with Over sized sunglasses! He would then wave at his near and dear ones proudly and taking his sunglasses off in a classy style.
As he entered the studio, he was amazed to see a long queue of Farrukh duplicates waiting to meet the assistant director for the coveted role. He wondered about the divine power's ability to make so many identical clones, that too of Farrukh Khan! He somehow impressed the assistant to land the role of a body double in this action movie climax which portrayed Farrukh Khan bravely battling raging fires of hand grenades and bombs to rescue his damsel in distress. This was the costliest scene in movie history and he felt proud to be a part of it. His joyride was about to begin. Bhola got ready and looked confident for the scene, Initially, he got scared but later he thought about the adulation in his hometown when he would get down from the train with his Over sized sunglasses! That thought really excited him.As the shooting began with a deafening explosion, he started to run towards the heroine jumping and dodging hand grenades in a skillful way, but midway, he lost his footing, slowed down and a hand grenade misfired to explode in his face! He imagined the claps and sounds of cheering audience before collapsing on the ground. All he could hear in reality was the constant ringing in his ears and a dull aching pain in his eyes.
A studio member left him in a municipal hospital and after a few days was discharged to be sent back to his native town.
As he climbed down the train-People saw him wearing his Over sized sunglasses! They could even see blood stained tears trickling down from his empty eye sockets!
Bhola would never be able to see movies again!
He took out his foldable white cane and started trudging home. . . .
