Perspective
The story opens featuring Manmeet Shergill, a 30 year old woman, who has made a name and recognition in the male dominated field of architecture, despite facing troubles in the past from her family and the society. She is a single parent to her son, Anmol Shergill whom she had through IVF technique.Despite being estranged from her family, she is invited for her younger sister, Gunjan’s wedding ceremony. Her father however puts forward a condition that she can only come if she doesn’t bring Anmol.
Unwillingly, Manmeet has assigned a trainee at her office, Rajkumar Yadav, who is playful and fun at all times. Manmeet soon realises that Raj is actually a stand-up comedian. Since knowing his secret, Manmeet requests him to become her (fake) husband just for the time of Gunjan’s marriage; to face no obstacles from society and the family. Helpless, and desperate to hide from his namesake girlfriend Nikki, Raj agrees to Manmeet’s plead.
At Shimla, Raj manages to unite Manmeet with her father, as the latter has been at odds with for years. However, during the marriage ceremony, Bhairav and Nirali Yadav, the parents of Raj, arrive creating a tension. Confused, they question the same while Manmeet apologises and tells them that it was all an act.
Nikki, who is furious at Raj, blackmails Raj with a suicide message. So this time, Raj requests Manmeet to pretend like his wife to convince Nikki. Manmeet and Raj manage to tell Nikki that they are in love. However, Nikki creates a scene and informs the Yadavs once again, causing chaos, as they call over the Shergill family to Mumbai to reveal the truth.
