The Range Rover SUV pulled into the driveway of the mansion and Aishwarya Rai stepped out alone. She was fuming, feeling angry and humiliated at the way she had been treated by her husband Abhishek Bachchan and her in-laws.
Trouble had been brewing recently, when some news reports emerged that Aishwarya Rai had been close to Randeep Hooda, her co-star from the movie Sarabjit. They had been on outdoor shoots and Aishwarya had left her daughter Aaradhya behind with her husband and her daughter's aaya (nanny) back at home. Abhishek didn't particularly like this, and not because he loved her. The idea of his gorgeous wife going on an outdoor shoot with her secretary and a couple of her assistants irked him. His own film career was going nowhere, and he was aware that he was an object of ridicule among people in the film industry who remarked that Aishwarya and her father in law Amitabh Bachchan were the bread winners in the family. Not that they lacked in anything financially, theirs being one of the wealthiest film families in Bollywood, but Abhishek was feeling acutely insecure and this was showing in his attitude and behavior towards Aishwarya. Small things had begun to irk him, and he would snap at her or utter things meant to deliberately hurt Aishwarya.
Over the last few years, the two had begun to drift very far apart, especially after Abhishek sided with his mother during multiple arguments she had with Aishwarya over finances and career.
Three years ago, after repeated fights, Aishwarya had sought me out, an old friend and lover of hers, for solace and strength. We had known each other since her modeling days, when she was working with my publicity firm.
We actually started our sexual relationship during the filming of 'Bride and Prejudice'. We continued to be involved with each other on and off, especially during the filming of 'Shabd' when we were having sex almost each day, but the details of our affair are for another chapter maybe.
Our relationship was extremely private and never was disclosed to anyone except for a few of our closest friends. It was mostly because Aishwarya wanted high profile men to be associated with her, while needing to satisfy her sexual desires. Also because she comes from a very traditional South Indian family that she was very close to and didn't want to disappoint in any way. Very few men knew her true sexual tastes and she sought me out regularly till the time her nuptials with Abhishek Bachchan were announced.
Aishwarya again rekindled our affair during the filming of 'Robot'. We had sex nearly each night that she was out shooting for that movie. It was a torrid affair, all without Abhishek knowing or suspecting anything, as we took all precautions to keep it under wraps.
But coming back to the present- the latest fight started a couple of hours ago. Aishwarya was taking longer than usual in getting ready. Despite the fact that she made umpteen public appearances, always immaculately dressed and with perfect make-up, Aishwarya rarely ever was late. But Aaraadhya had been cranky, not having slept in the afternoon and was bawling all evening. Abhishek asked Aishwarya and the little child's nanny to sort it out and left to be with his friends for a game of snooker.
The snooker table was in the basement of their plush mansion, a complete pad for men. It had a well-stocked bar, a massive 90" TV, Harman Kardon home theater speaker system and leather recliners for the boys to lounge around. The music was loud and it drowned out any voices from the upper floor. Aishwarya wanted Abhishek to take the kid with him so she would stop bawling. The nanny was getting desperate and the kid didn't show any signs of stopping her tantrum.
Aishwarya yelled "Abhishek?! Where are you?! I could really use some help now!"
Aishwarya called out to Abhishek again, there was no response at all.
Finally, getting up from the makeup table where she was getting ready for the evening's event, she walked down to the basement. Getting down there unnoticed, she found Abhishek and three of his friends were gathered around the massive snooker table and on the table, in her high stilettos was this new Bollywood chick, a starlet turned teen obsession named Disha Patani.
Disha was here thanks to her boyfriend, Tiger Shroff, and this chump had managed to convince her to step onto the snooker table and dance dirty to the song that was blaring on the speaker system.
"Aisi nazar se dekha usss zaalim ne chowk par..."
Aishwarya turned red with anger..this was Aishwarya's item song from a Bollywood movie, in which both her husband and her father in law were leching at her, but Aishwarya had eyes only for the older Bachchan. And now, here was this stunning young girl, dancing to her song, with her own husband rubbing his pants to caress his obvious hard on. Her face flushed, her heartbeat increased and her pulse went up. Here she was, watching her husband rubbing his hard-on and leering at a 20 something girl, to a song that had brought Aishwarya and Abhishek together.
Aishwarya continued to watch as Tiger Shroff climbed onto the snooker table and caught hold of Disha from behind and began gyrating his hips, simulating having sex with her from behind. She was stunned as Abhishek climbed up and onto the table and got in front of Disha and looked deeply into her eyes.
Tiger was getting turned on by this, seeing how Abhishek had a noticeable hard on in his pants and was rubbing it on Disha's thighs while looking into her eyes. Disha opened her mouth to kiss Abhishek and he leaned in to kiss her, squeezing her large breasts while Tiger Shroff cupped her ass from behind. The other 2 men in the room had unzipped their pants and were stroking their cocks looking at all this happening.
Disha Patani was a girl from Indore, one of India's mid-sized cities in the state of Madhya Pradesh, a stunning natural beauty who had made her way into Bollywood through beauty pageants and modeling. Her gorgeous smile and her fresh faced beauty had opened doors and brought her to Mumbai. To some degree, the B-town crowd that had now befriended her, had made her feel ashamed of her humble roots and she felt the need to fit into the modern crowd. And that meant acting cool around people, trying to fit in. All this had meant that a guy like Tiger Shroff ,the son of yesteryear Bollywood star Jackie Shroff, had been able to take advantage, plying her with drinks, drugs at times, and had been using her in perverted ways she could never have imagined earlier. But that's enough on Disha for now, maybe I'll reveal more in another chapter.
Aishwarya rushed upstairs, her face flushed and tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Madam, aapka makeup foundation kharab ho jayega! Roiye mat please!" (Don't cry! It'll ruin the makeup foundation!") the makeup lady took one look at her and remarked.
She dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief and began to think of ways to get back at Abhishek. She had heard some rumors from some of her close sources that Abhishek had been seen with multiple women after Aishwarya got pregnant. A couple of her close friends in the movie business had confirmed seeing him in a posh Goan hotel with a woman that they couldn't recognize. Upon pressing the hotel staff further, they had found out that the woman was Ukranian and had originally come to India seeking work in Bollywood.
That wasn't all; he had been traveling abroad regularly to be with a certain woman in Italy. Aishwarya had never confronted him with those rumors but now she had seen it with her own eyes. Right in their own mansion, in their own basement, he was kissing someone other than his wife with people around, then he was capable of doing a lot more when he thought he was alone.
All the guilt that had built up inside of her for having cheated on Abhishek multiple times with me, now evaporated. In a weird way, she felt relieved. At least the charade didn't need to continue between them.
Aishwarya picked up her mobile phone and checked her contacts. She searched for 'Kart' and sent a text message -- "Need to talk to you soon. call me."
I received the text while I was in a phone conversation with my girlfriend, Karisma Kapoor, affectionately called Lolo.
I said, "Listen baby, I'll call you back. Something important just came up."
I hung up and called Aishwarya immediately.
She picked up and said, "Kartik, I just caught Abhishek with Disha Patani and Tiger Shroff in the basement."
