Ram Kapoor is a busy businessman in his early 40s, who has been unmarried and without love all his life. Priya Sharma is a woman in her early 30s, for whom marriage just never seems to work out. But when Ram's stepsister, Natasha Kapoor, and Priya's younger brother Kartik Sharma, fall in love and wish to get married, Ram's stepmother, Niharika Kapoor, decides that Ram should marry Priya, to which Priya's parents Shipra and Sudhir Sharma happily agrees. However, both Ram and Priya are actually poles apart, their personalities and lifestyles being too different. Nevertheless, they agree to marry for their families' sakes and both marriages occur.
