==Plot== The story introduces Manneet Shergill, a 30-year-old architect who has achieved recognition in the male-dominated field of architecture despite past challenges from her family and society. As a single parent to her son, Anmol Shergill, conceived through IVF, she faces further complications when invited to her sister Gunjan's wedding. Her father stipulates that she may only attend if she leaves Anmol at home.
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.
