Sitara Gopalasundaram – single, high-minded, just-over thirty, arts editor of Homme magazine, with a mop of uncontrollable hair and no time for Bollywood-types – is seriously upset. Being commanded to unearth the story behind Bollywood superstud Nasser Khan’s much-talked-about reclusive status following the break-up of his long-standing engagement to a cinematic bimbette is nothing short of a nightmare for someone who can’t quite tell her Khans apart. Things get worse as what she had hoped would be a one-time, never-again, meeting turns out to be the first of a series of strange encounters, as fate keeps throwing her back into the arms of Bollywood’s reigning pin-up boy. Blown away by the high-octane world of showbiz, Sitara still thinks she can get her life back to its normal humdrum routine. Seriously?
