Pranav and his fiancée Kajal (Monal Gajjar) finalize a house, but the house owner backs out after the deal is finalized. Pranav resumes his search and finds a house, which is above his budget, but decides to buy it nonetheless. Pranav and Kajal decide to get married so they can avail higher loan as the joint applicants. Pranav manages rest of the amount from friends and his boss, but the bank refuses to approve the loan at the last moment because he works for a proprietary firm.
