Inside the Chandigarh high court
There is an entry of C.E.O. Saloni wearing sunglasses on her head, Gucci handbag on her shoulder and Armani jumpsuit; looking like a dashing diva with her cocky advocate Ujjwal she makes her dancing with lot of self-pride and attitude on her face.
Ujjwal
How are you, Ms. Vansika?
Speaking in flirty manner
Vanshika

Folding her hand and dilating her eyes to show
Ujjwal
Whatever!
looking in her eyes, taking eyes off her and smirking in front of the audience.
Saloni

Saloni flashes a smile at Ujjwal and move her hand through her hair in flirty manner.
Sahil
pretty face but ugly heart. Sahil looks Saloni with disdain
Judge Mrs. Mrinalini enters the courtroom marching like a lady boss and takes the seat, but none of the member of court is aware of her presence.
She marks her presence by shouting at the court in a most dominating manner.
Mrinalini

Both the advocate stands in front of the judge and Mr. Sahil and C.E.Os. Saloni take respective seat opposite to the judge table.

Mrinalini shouts at lawyers
Ujjwal

Sahil
Last week, on Saturday night I applied Mitra men bb cream expecting that next morning I will look more graceful than my girlfriend, but on next morning when I went with my mobile in washroom, texting my girlfriend, she asked me to send a selfie and when I looked at face from the front camera there were red patches and black spots. I was looking like a horrible beast. Sadly, I sent same picture to my girlfriend and then.... And then....
Sahil sobbing.
Vanshika
And one more breakup, one more breakup.
Ujjwal
your honor! Do not judge a book by its cover; this person just wants sympathy of the court. Do you have any proof?
Ujjwal moves towards Sahil pointing finger at him.
Vanshika
I have a proof. Look at the advertisement of his product. It promises glowing, gentle, and radiant skin and look at my client, his face is too radiant to be shown in public.
Sahil hides his face
Saloni tries to steal glance from everyone
Ujjwal
l object! Many energy drinks promise to make a lightning bolt see I am emitting electricity.
Ujjwal jerks his whole body acting as if he got an electric shock.
Vanshika
But none of them have side effect.
Ujjwal

Vanshika does money gesture by snapping fingers and faces audience with evil smile.
Ujjwal
