Nidhi Needs More
(Part 2 of 2)
Nidhi had an exclusive that nobody else could get. After she walked away from the restaurant, she decided to stroll around the movie lot to get her thoughts together. Her reporting skills were not the best; she knew that. She decided to study how accomplished reporters such as Samir and Harini wrote their stories so she could learn their habits. She wanted to prepare this story by herself, without any help, so she could prove to herself that she could do it.
When Nidhi passed a place where she could see the movie studio's parking area, she made sure the red motorcycle was still there. She could not forgive herself if the vehicle drove away while she wasn't paying attention. The motorcycle sat there, in the same place as always. It wasn't going anywhere, she decided. Since she was tired of walking around the same few places, she went one street further out, if only to see something different.
Nidhi came to a short line of women standing outside of a square building with darkened windows. The women were all very pretty and shapely. She looked at the name of the business: Network 69. That told her nothing about what sort of company it was, so she decided to ask the women directly.
"Are you auditioning for a movie part?" She asked. They were young women, girls around her age, and the three that heard her question all giggled. "Tell me!"
One of the girls leaned over, ready to whisper in her ear. "It is a sex movie."
Nidhi's face went ashen. Of course, she knew that sex movies were popular, and that they usually featured young and pretty girls, but it had never really dawned on her that companies that produced such entertainment would be found right in the middle of all the big movie studios.
"How much does it pay?" She wondered.
"We must pass the personality audition and the... You know, a test run of the scene." The same girl spoke in a low voice. "But they are paying between ten and fifteen thousand rupees for twenty minutes of action."
"Up to fifteen thousand rupees?" Nidhi looked amazed. "So much money?"
"That's why we are here!" The girl giggled.
"For that much money, I would take part!" Nidhi laughed.
Two of the girls giggled, while the third looked at Nidhi's heavyset form and said, "They only take skinny girls for these movies."
"Don't listen to her." The first girl said. "There are about eight of us waiting for our first interview. You can walk up to the front of the line and ask if they will accept you. They will give you a ticket and you can wait in line with the rest of us."
Nidhi looked at the line. Five girls stood outside. The rest must be in a visitor's lounge, she guessed. She felt suddenly shy to mix in with the pretty ones.
"Go!" The first girl urged her. "You could make so much money for something you already enjoy doing!"
"The worst they can say is you don't qualify." The second girl told her.
Nidhi became emboldened to at least have a look inside. She rubbed on her Lakti bracelet and started for the door. To the girl standing beside the door, she said, "Excuse me."
The receptionist area was nearly as small as a cubicle. It housed the secretary's desk and four chairs colored orange with polished metal legs. The man at the desk was speaking to one of the pretty girls, but he cut his conversation short when he saw Nidhi enter.
"I would like a ticket, please." She said.
The man sized her up, not liking what he saw in her. "I think all tickets have been given out for the day. You could come back in the morning." He paused for a second, giving her another look. "You look different than the other girls. Maybe you can find out for yourself if any tickets remain." He didn't bother to get up, but he did lean forward and point down a hallway. "Go to the second door on the left hand side. The interviewers don't have a girl with them right now. They will tell you right away about any remaining tickets."
Nidhi didn't like that she had to do this by herself, but since she'd gone that far, she might as well go on a little further. If anything, she was gaining insight on how sex movies were made. She stopped at the correct door and knocked, waiting until a woman called for her to step inside.
She entered a small room where two older women sat at plain table cluttered with several manila folders, paperwork and pictures of girls' faces, clothed bodies and also nude. One woman was beautiful, or had been beautiful when young, but the age lines showed heavy on her face. Nidhi guessed she was near to sixty years old. The second woman was in her fifties, as plump as she was, wearing a red and orange sari, while the first wore a less colorful blue kurta with gold edging around the collar.
"I've come to see if any tickets are left." Nidhi said.
"There are no tickets." The older of the two women replied.
"Oh, you wait!" The second woman snapped at her. "Just because this woman isn't as skinny as the rest does not mean she can't perform for us!"
"Half of the women in India are fat." Nidhi said.
"There is nothing wrong with being fat." The first woman asserted. "My name is Falguni, and this is my associate Upa. We are producers for films made for adults. Do you have any experience in this field?"
"No."
"Can you spread your legs and take a cock?"
Nidhi had to keep herself from giggling. "Yes!"
"Will you do it for our video?"
Nidhi had to take a deep breath here. "I think I can, yes."
"Who will fuck her?" Upa asked her companion. "Are you going to fuck her, because none of the men we have will take such a... such a big woman."
"What is your name?" Falguni asked. Once she had that, she went on. "Nidhi, do you have a boyfriend? Would he be willing to perform for us on video?"
Nidhi didn't know if her boyfriend would or not. She would have to persuade him. "Yes."
Upa cut in again. "This woman does not fit in with your series."
"Then we will start a new series." Falguni decided. "You always want to do things the same way, over and over. I want to try a new angle with skinny girls or fat girls. There are plenty of men who like them!"
"You can do your new series by yourself then." Upa crossed her arms. She looked at Nidhi. "Go on. Take off your clothes so we can have pictures of you."
Nidhi was embarrassed, but she felt the money was too good to pass up. As she stripped, she wondered of the girls outside had lied to her about the pay. "How much can I expect to earn if I do this?"
"Ten thousand to twenty thousand rupees." Falguni said.
