आपके पाँव देखे ….बहुत हसीन हैं …इन्हें ज़मीन पर मत रखियेगा …मैले हो जाएँगे. A young forest officer sees the feet of an unknown girl in a train compartment and looses his heart on her. Mesmerized by the beauty of the feet only, and not the face or anything else, he writes the above mentioned line on a chit and leaves the chit to be read by the girl when she wakes up.
A prelude a great love story?
No….its Pakeezah. Its not a love story. The Officer did not know that those feet are already very dirty, at least for the civilized world in which we live. Those feet are of a “तवायफ” who every evening ties a pair of ghunghroos in those very feet and dances in front of a group of lurking noblemen, one from among which would win her for the rest of the night.
