"You have around hundred pairs of shoes. You still want to keep this?" She asked.
"You know the answer to that, Neha." Suhail replied.
"I know it holds a lot of importance to you. But you are the country's biggest superstar. You should not own rubbish like this."
Suhail walks to his closet and looks at the old, dusty, tattered pair of shoes. The shoes he wore the first time he came to this city. The shoes he wore to auditions while he was struggling.
"I might be a star for the world, but this is the actual me. Always."
