The day after his marriage to his childhood love, Khanak; Suraj goes to the factory to fix up a machine for the inauguration. Shantanu's recklessness causes Suraj to get electrocuted and seriously injured. Suraj dies in pain, leaving behind a shocked Shantanu and a grieving Khanak.
Shantanu's father offers a huge compensation to the bereaved family, and Suraj's brother Mangal, blinded by greed, accepts this offer. Khanak, however, refuses the compensation and demands justice instead. At the Panchayat meeting, Shantanu shocks everyone by saying that Khanak should take the compensation offered and move on with her life. The appalled sarpanch announces the judgment – since Shantanu has destroyed Khanak's life, he would find a groom for her.
As a solution and atonement – Shantanu get on to search for the perfect groom and meets with a number of hurdles. He comes to face with the stigma attached to being a widow. Finally, he succeeds in luring a man working in a grocery store called Mulji with a fat sum of Rs. 20 lakhs. Khanak voices her resentment and refuses to re-marry. She says that she doesn't want anything but justice. However, Suraj's family and the Panchayat approve of the groom that Shantanu has found for Khanak and marriage preparations begin.
At first Shantanu really hates Khanak because of a series of events (Khanak accidentally washed his laptob with water, Natasha got jealous of Khanak as everyone was praising her and Shan's relationship,etc) but one night it all changes. Shantanu wants to make it up to Natasha after they have a fight and writes her a note telling her to meet him in the drawing room at night,(while everyone else is at the farmhouse) . But the servant who was to deliver the note to Natasha, accidentally gave it to Khanak.
When Khanak reached the decorated room with candles and flowers, she was confused and extremely shocked when Shantanu hugged her from the back. When Shantanu realized it was Khanak, not Natasha, they both started to laugh. Though Khanak wanted to leave, Shantanu asked her to stay and keep him company. They started to talk about Natasha, about the family, thier behavior towards Khanak, and abut Suraj (at which point Khanak started to cry) and then Shantanu made several attempts to make her laugh. They all failed but eventually Khanak was smiling again.
Then Shantanu started to drink wine and since he was not in his senses he got intimate with Khanak thinking it was Natasha. Then Shantanu started to look really drousy so Khanak brought him upto his room, and then left to go to her room. In the morining they were both embarrassed of what happened and didnt know how to face one another. When Natasha found out that Shantanu had spent all night with Khanak alone in the house and he had kept it a secret from her, she suspected they slept together and she left the house. Thinking that she had created a rift between Natasha's and Shantanu's relationship, Khanak leaves the house.
Shantanu goes out in search of Khanak, and he finds her that very night and from here starts a roller coaster of hilarious events that happen while they are trying to get home. Khanak refuses to go anywhere but Dhulwari, (her hometown) and definitely not Mumbai. It starts to rain and while Khanak is dancing in the rain, Shantanu starts to dream about him and Khanak dancing together in the rain and having romantic scenes in a cabin. He shakes it all off saying hes getting too filmy. They find an old cabin to stay in for the night and fall asleep.
During this time Natasha returns home, hoping to see Shantanu. But Akshay (Shans older brother) tells her that Shantanu has gone looking for Khanak and that they are both missing for two days. She is furious that after everything that happened Shantanu went to look for Khanak and not her. Khanak's relatives arrive to meet her but see that Khanak is not there and ask for an explanation form her in-laws.
In the morning Khanak makes Shantanu a deal, if he can earn enough money (by himself and without his dads help) and buy tickets for them to go to Mumbai, then she will willingly go with him. So Shantanu finds a dhaba to work in. At first its very hard from him to do all the tasks without getting mad at the customers but when he thinks about Khanak it calms him down and he gets back to work.
The dhaba owner and his wife help Shantnau and Khanak (separately) realize that they love each other and the feeling starts to settle in for both of them. At the end of the day Shantanu has earned enough money and Khanak honors her promise by going with him cheerfully.
When the two come home, Natasha and Shan both try to contact each other, but are unsuccessful in doing so, which creats a rift between them. Their problems are increased when Shan refuses to tell Khanak's relatives about their real relationship, and wants to keep up a pretence of being husband and wife. Khanak's (ex)sister-in-law - Hetal - is extremley nosey, and likes to butt into Shan and Khanaks lives as much as she can. Shan and Khanak decide to move into the same room - Shan's room - so that Khanak's relatives don't get suspicious. There's a routine every morning, as Shan sleeps on the sofa and Khanak on the bed, all the duvets and pillows Shan uses are scattered onto the bed, so that when Hetal walks in, it looks like Shan and Khanak sleep in the same bed. It goes well, until Natasha walks in with Hetal one morning. She confronts Shan and they have an argument that does not really end. Khanak tries to convince Shan to apologize to Natasha, he tries, in his own way. He goes into her office and asks her to be 'just friends' - for the next four months, anyway. Natasha is shocked and upset, and her dad tries to convince her to move on, but she does not agree.
Several moments between Shan and Khanak show their growing love for each other, once they get tangled in the duvet together, they fall into the pool together, and Khanak always falls on Shan every other day.
Shan tries to teach Khanak English, because she wants to learn it, after a row with Khushboo (Shan's Bhabi and Natasha's sister) about food. While doing this, they get into a situation in which Shan is carrying Khanak - Bollywood style - in a room, when Natasha walks in (with Hetal in the background). This leads to more upset, more anger, however, Shan is starting to realise, more and more, that he loves Khanak, not Natasha - as he says 'I love you Khanak'...to Natasha. This small statement makes Natasha angry and upset, even more so, which Shaan sees as justifiable, but she gives him no chance to explain and tells, as she is leaving the house, that he can only talk to her again when he has the answer to why he said Khanak's name instead of her own, and if she (Natasha) is his life, anymore. Shaan goes back inside, while Khanak is in their room thinking about how Natasha must have felt and wondering how Shaan could have made such a mistake. Shaan enters the room and sees Khanak, he wonders what she must be thinking about him, and also thinking about how he said Khanak's name, he wonders whether it is because he is around her so much, then he thinks, why is he around her so much...?
