<p>Dhruv Shikhar is an orphan who used to work in the “Purshottam’s Dhaba”. After some years, he became an entrepreneur who falls in love with Aanya Mehra whom he first met on his Virtual reality app launch event. They soon become friends and meet a certain number of times. He learns that she would like to marry a guy with a sweet family and an adopted dog. He also finds that her parents, Anand Mehra and Yamini Mehra, died in a theatre fire when she was seven years old and she lives with her aunt, Roopa Mehra and uncle, Dr. Sanjeev Mehra. With the help of his bestfriend Sandeep “Shunty” and Joginder Arora aka Shaadiram, he unsuccessfully attempted to find fake parents to make a perfect family for Aanya. He then recalled about Purshottam who had gone to live in an old age home in some other city and went to find him. The attempt of making Purshottam as his fake father failed but somebody told him about his first and the last love of his life, Deepti Kashyap, whom because of his lack of confidence he failed to elope with. After a few attempts of persuading her to accept the offer, she finally agreed to act as his fake mother after Shunty reminded her of the small boy who she met in a dhaba. Purshottam also agreed to act as his father because of Deepti. Soon they meet Aanya’s parents and with few lies in attempting to make it look like a true family, their marriage is fixed. Unfortunately because of an accidental reveal of Dhruv being an orphan and his fake family, Aanya’s family cancels the marriage on the sangeet day. After the failed attempt of marriage Aanya’s parents fix her wedding with somebody else, on the other hand because of living together for so long Purshottam, Deepti and Dhruv start living as a real family. Seeing Dhruv’s sorrow, his parents – Purshottam and Deepti went to apologize to Mehra family and find out about her wedding. But Dr. Sanjeev Mehra humiliates both of them. Dhruv learns of this, and tells his parents to forget about Aanya. In the end, it is because of Aanya’s younger sister Kanika, that she understands that Dhruv is the right match for her, as he took the trouble of creating a whole family, simply for her. She goes to him, proposes, he finally agrees and they marry.
