The events unfold during the COVID-19 pandemic, with lockdowns and travel restrictions that force the characters to remain together for days. Government orders and local measures complicate logistics, including the engagement and eventual wedding. The confinement amplifies misunderstandings and the need for patience and adaptability.

The story begins in Suryapet, a town in Telangana, before moving to the rural Ashokapuram Village in Andhra Pradesh for the engagement. Suryapet offers a growing-town backdrop, while Ashokapuram shows a traditional village setting with close-knit families and local customs. The house where the extended family stays during the lockdown becomes the focal point for tensions, conversations, and reconciliation.

💞 Love Waiting
