The Prime Minister had just cancelled her wedding! And she had to find out along with the whole country! So our girl has a crazy idea. Since everything for the foreseeable future was going to be online anyway, why shouldn't their wedding be? And so begins the journey to a virtual wedding. It isn’t a smooth ride at all. Nisha’s father tests positive just as plans begin to get underway. Her mother assures her it is one of the milder cases and the wedding is cautiously back on. Just as all best-laid plans often go awry, Nisha gets a blast from her past. The man she deeply loved comes back into her life begging for another chance. As she debates telling Rishabh about her past, she herself begins to get cold feet. Jumping all these hurdles together they finally get married. An uncertain happily ever after.
