Naisha's life is pretty much set-marriage to a guy she doesn't love, all thanks to her controlling dad. Her only escape is her guitar and music. But when she meets Viresh Malhotra at her cousin's wedding, things take a turn. Viresh is the charming flirt, always the funny guy, and never really serious about anything-until Naisha catches his eye. He is tall and hot too. Late-night kulfi runs, guitar sessions, and their secret moments bring them closer, but Naisha's still trapped in an engagement she doesn't want. With Ekanshi and Akansha's matchmaking and Rohit and Kartik's usual chaos, everyone's caught up in a mess of feelings, but maybe, just maybe, Naisha and Viresh aren't as hopeless as they think.
