Mask

Kabir Raichand, a renowned actor, producer and philanthropist of the country. He is idolized by many. He is worshipped like God by his fans for his contribution to cinema on a global level. Every boy in the country, wants to be like him. And every girl in the country want their better-halfs and lovers to be like him. In all his interviews, he speaks about ethics, values, humility. Unlike other actors who barely talk about ethics, Kabir, is always known for having strong principles and ethics. The people of his country has believed him to be a humble, loyal family man with no controversies despite being the topmost actor in the country.

But, as we know, all that glitters are not gold. Despite being idolized by a huge population in and outside the country, only his close ones know how he is as a person. His wife, Seema Raichand, who is considered to be much less successful than him has always had to make a compromise to live with him. Despite him having multiple extra marital affairs, Seema couldn't leave him. Whenever she thinks of leaving him for his tantrums, he reminds her that she is nothing without him. And, so, she has no option but to leave him. In this way, he manages to cover up all his affairs and saves his image of a 'one woman man' in front of the world. Every woman wants a husband like Kabir, but only his wife Seema knows how awful of a husband Kabir is.

Kabir's son, Rehan, a rebel teenager has been sent to the best school in the world so that he gets the best education. But, Kabir hardly spends a few hours with Rehan throughout the year. Despite having money to afford anything he wants, Rehan, never had enough money to buy time to spend with his father. While every child in the country thought once how lucky Rehan is to be Kabir's son, only Rehan had to face the dark side of being Kabir's son.

Disha, Kabir's love, who was made to believe by Kabir that she was different from his other extra marital affairs and that she was special to him. Kabir promised to marry her. He always told her how he was not having a good time with Seema, and wanted a divorce. And, as soon as the divorce will be done, he will soon marry Disha. Giving her hopes on marriage, he continued his affair with her. And when finally he got caught red handed by his wife, he didn't think a second before dumping Disha. Many girls wanted a lover like Kabir, but, only Disha knew how Kabir as a lover was.

Sometimes, all we know about people is how much they let us know about them. And we start thinking of them as a good or evil based on how they pretend to be. Very rarely do we dive deep into someone's character before labelling them as 'good' or 'evil'.

The harsh reality is, each one of us are wearing masks. And, we don't know a person unless and until we are close enough with them. Only close people know a person as who he actually is behind the mask. Rest all people are doomed to believe that the masked person is the actual person, when in reality, he isn't. He, who appears to be too good, just knows how to play the game well by being behind the masks.
