Audition monologue लड़के (Kabir) के नज़रिए से — उसकी सफाई, फिर सच को मानने तक का ग्राफ़। 90–120 सेकंड में आराम से परफ़ॉर्म हो जाएगा.

Teesri Gawah — Kabir’s Audition Monologue (Ladka POV, Hinglish)

(Facing her/Camera. Restless. Hands can’t stay still. Starts defensive → breaks → honest.)

“Sun… please ek minute de. Haan, tumne jo dekha woh galat tha. Galti hui—par main villain nahi hoon… ya, shayad hoon. Bas ek baar meri baat poori sun lo.

Tum jaanti ho na, main cheezein samajhne se pehle bhag jaata hoon. Pressure aata hai toh main joke maar deta hoon, serious baat ko halka bana deta hoon. Us din bhi wahi kiya. ‘It’s complicated’ bol ke maine sabse bada jhooth bola—tumse, usse, aur khud se.

Main Maya ko kabhi plan karke nahi mila. Work ke baad baitha tha, dimagh ghoom raha tha, aur mujhe laga… tum door ho rahi ho. Interviews, late nights, voicenotes—aur main apne hi insecurity se ladne ke bajay, asaan rasta choose kar liya. Validation. Cheap sa comfort.
(half-laugh) Kitna pathetic lag raha hoga na? Haan, mujhe bhi.

Jab usne mujhe kiss kiya, ek second—bas ek second—maine apne aap ko justify kiya: ‘Hum break par hain, hum theek nahi chal rahe…’ Par sach yeh hai: hum break par nahi the. Main bas apne character ko break par daal raha tha.

Tumne mujhe kabhi chhota mehsoos nahi karaya, Kabir ne khud ko chhota kiya. Tumne boundaries maangi, maine ‘control’ samjha. Tumne honesty maangi, maine ‘scene’ samjha. Aur aaj jab tum mere saamne khadi ho—gussa, theek—mujhe pehli baar apni shakal dikh rahi hai jaise tum dekh rahi ho.

Main ye nahi keh raha ki mujhe maaf kar do. Main bas itna keh raha hoon ki meri zimmedari main leta hoon—full. Maya ko bhi, tumhe bhi, khud ko bhi galat kehne ki himmat aaj aayi hai.
(pause, softer) Main tumse pyaar karta hoon—par shayad pyaar karne se pehle insaan banna padta hai, jo main us pal nahi tha.

Agar tum jaa rahi ho, jao. Main rokungi nahi—kyunki mujhe pata hai roka toh phir jhooth bolunga. Bas… ek cheez chhod jao mere liye: yeh yaad ki kabhi ek ladka tha jo tumhare saath better ban sakta tha… aur usne chance khud barbaad kiya.

(beat)
Main guilty hoon. Aur shayad aaj se main sach mein grow karna start kar doon—tumhare bina hi sahi.”

Notes for Audition

1. Arc: Start defensive (speedy, jittery) → mid-beat realization (voice drops) → end with composed acceptance.
2. Beats to hit: “Validation” बोलते समय शर्म/खिसियाहट; “Hum break par nahi the” पर साफ़ ठहराव; “Main guilty hoon” पर eye contact hold.
3. Duration: ~1.5–2 min at natural pace.
4. Button (ending look): हल्की साँस, सिर का छोटा-सा nod, नज़र नीचे → फिर ऊपर (acceptance).
