That doesn't stop her mother from dragging her to Bombay and forcing her into a world of exploitation and bedroom casting calls. But when Aasha's left .to her own devices, she thrives -- in spite of the vicious circles of celebrities, pimps, and starlets who would like nothing more than to see her fail.
  
  Then she encounters Akshay Arora. Today's most desirable leading man, he has left his mark on Bollywood -- and on Aasha's heart. But there's no room for love or trust in a business where the latest stranger under your sheets may be the one who holds the key to your next big role. With her innocence stolen and no one to turn to, Aasha knows her downfall could come as quickly as her rise to fame. And letting herself love might just be the most fatal career move of her life....
