Aarush is a 28-year-old reporter with a problem. His family's planning an arranged marriage for him, but he's already got a crush on a girl in the tech department. But she doesn't even know he exists! So, he needs TIME to woo her, not an arranged marriage. So, what does he do? He pulls the classic Indian-guy-with-strict-parents move: pretend he's gay.
And who's gonna be his fake boyfriend? His frenemy, of course! Meet Nisith, a junior editor with a beef against Aarush's lack of brain and punctuality. Nisith even agrees to help Aarush woo his crush. But when fake dating gets involved, will they stick to the plan? (Spoiler: Hell no.)
