But none of them have managed to attract him till date.
So when he's forced to go for yet another date, one that his grandparents have been bugging him about for quite a while now, he hesitantly gives in, aware that he owes her a thank you or probably more given the fact how she helped him unknowingly in the past. And that's all he has in mind when he goes for the date. Things however, take an interesting turn when Aranya's attempt to ruin the date gets thwarted and Agastya's determined to have her by his side as his partner, even if it's fake.
