Varsha was a young, strict tuition teacher in Delhi, balancing her recently completed degree with teaching students for extra income. She had a no-nonsense attitude when it came to studies, but deep inside, she harbored a secret dream—to be on TV. Whether as a news anchor, a reality show contestant, or even an actress, she just wanted to see herself on the screen.
A group of her mischievous students—Rohan, Karan, Mehak, and Aditi—knew about her dream. They were not bad kids, just a bunch of innocent pranksters who loved to create fun memories. One day, an idea struck them—a prank so wild that it would leave everyone in splits.
The group roped in Rohan’s elder brother, who owned a small local studio. With camera setups, flashy lights, and a fake production team, they created a convincing environment. Then came the fake call—a staged conversation that Varsha “accidentally” overheard while teaching.
“Madam, we’re looking for fresh new faces for a reality show. But the contestants must be bold enough for a complete transformation.” Varsha’s ears perked up. She casually asked, “What transformation?”
Aditi, acting as if she was hesitating to spill the details, finally “reluctantly” revealed, “Ma’am… they’re looking for someone daring enough to go completely bald on national television! It’s a new trend in the industry.”
Varsha froze for a moment. But then, the thought of being on TV, fame, and breaking barriers took over. “If that’s what it takes, then why not?” she told herself. “Where do I sign up?” she asked, trying to sound casual but clearly too eager.
The students, barely holding their laughter, exchanged glances. She had fallen for it. The next day, Varsha arrived at the “audition studio,” wearing her best kurti and neatly tied hair. A fake makeup artist (Aditi in disguise) greeted her.
Cameras rolled, fake stylists fussed around her, making her feel like a true star. As she sat down, Rohan, pretending to be a celebrity stylist, picked up a pair of scissors and said dramatically, “Ma’am, we will begin your bold makeover now.”
She nodded confidently, trying to mask her nervousness. But the moment the first snip was made, a chill ran down her spine. A large chunk of hair fell to the floor. She flinched slightly. Too late to back out now.
As Rohan randomly hacked away, her once well-maintained hair turned into a disaster—uneven bangs, patches of hair sticking out, one side completely cropped short while the other remained untouched. Mehak, holding back laughter, said,
“Ma’am, it’s a modern edgy look!” “Bas bas, make it even at least!” she protested. And then came the trimmer. The moment the trimmer buzzed to life, Varsha felt a sudden wave of reality hit her.
“Wait… this is really happening?” she mumbled. But before she could process, the machine glided over her scalp, and her remaining hair vanished in seconds. She sat stunned, eyes wide, feeling the cool air directly on her exposed scalp.
Aditi, still in character, said, “Wah ma’am, you’re looking so bold! The industry will love you!” Varsha tried to smile, but her hands unconsciously touched her smooth head, her fingers gliding over the soft skin where her hair once was.
What have I done? But she forced a grin. “So… when will the audition results be out?” she asked. The students looked at each other and quickly changed the topic.
By the time Varsha realized there was no reality show, the video was already edited and uploaded. Titled “Strict Tuition Teacher’s Bold Transformation – Must Watch!”
The video blew up overnight. Delhi’s streets, Metro stations, even chaiwalas—everywhere she went, people recognized her. “Oh madam ji, aap woh YouTube wali ho na?”
“Arrey bhai, kya confidence hai! Bilkul pataka lag rahi hai!” “Didi, asli audition kab hai?” Everywhere she turned, she heard giggles and whispers.
She locked herself at home for two days, refusing to meet anyone. The students felt a little bad but didn’t dare confess. But then, something unexpected happened. A few days later, Varsha’s phone rang with an unknown number.
“Hello, am I speaking to Miss Varsha?” “Yes…” “This is Rajesh Kapoor from Zee TV Productions. We saw your viral video. We’re working on a new reality show about bold personalities.
Would you be interested in an audition?” Varsha stared at the phone in disbelief. Maybe… just maybe… her prank gone wrong was about to turn her dream into reality. And so, her bald journey had just begun.
