Dev receives a phone call from his mother about Alina's destination wedding in Thailand. He is stunned because he has harbored romantic feelings for Alina for years but never spoke up. The news lands as his Bengaluru startup is still battling early challenges, and he wonders if he can even afford to take a break.

Alina personally calls to invite him and makes it clear he cannot skip the wedding. She scolds him with warmth and warns that she won't marry if he doesn't show up. The conversation underlines how important he is to her and raises the stakes of his decision.

On a televised advice segment, Anjali Malhotra tells a listener that attending the wedding can bring closure. Dev catches the broadcast and wonders if the same path could help him too. The idea of closure through participation nudges him toward Bangkok.

Dev heads to the airport to catch a flight to Bangkok, signaling his decision to attend the wedding. He feels a mix of hope and anxiety as he leaves his startup and family behind. The journey marks the start of a personal turning point.

Meghna, a twenty-something living with her parents, receives the wedding invitation along with her family's mixed reactions. She has just ended a six-year relationship with Gaurav and is hesitant yet determined to attend. Her parents warn that Gaurav will be there, complicating her choice.

Meghna arrives at Hua Hin, Thailand for the destination wedding. The venue unfolds as a lavish, 'mini-Rajasthan' by the beach, full of color and ceremony. She steps into the celebration with a mix of nerves and curiosity.

Dev and Meghna introduce themselves with the iconic lines, 'Hi I am Dev, a friend of the Dulhan' and 'Hi I am Meghna, a friend of the Dulha'. Their initial awkward moment gives way to a shared sense of being outsiders at a big family affair. The encounter plants the seeds for a deeper connection.

Both sides begin thrusting them into wedding duties, from ceremonial turbans to festive roles. The multi-day pre-Shaadi events, including a glamorous cricket match, push them into more frequent interaction. The playful chaos makes their bond feel more natural and inevitable.

During a taxi ride to the Proposal Event, Meghna forgets her purse containing the city permit. Gaurav tries to humiliate Meghna in front of everyone, but Dev arrives and defuses the situation, earning her trust. The incident becomes a turning point that brings them closer.

Dev and Meghna open up about their personal lives and insecurities, realizing they share a longing for a life they seldom admit. Dev tells Meghna she deserves better and that she has the courage to change her circumstances. The conversation marks the beginning of a mutual understanding and growing attraction.

Dev participates in a pre-Shaadi dance but suddenly loses confidence and asks his agent to book a return ticket. He considers leaving Bangkok and stepping back from the growing connection. Meghna's quiet encouragement helps him choose to stay and face his feelings.

Meghna urges him to stay, and the next morning he enthusiastically participates in the Haldi ceremony. Their shared glances and growing closeness mark a shift from friendship to something more romantic. The ceremony becomes a catalyst for their emotional breakthrough.

During the wedding around the sacred fire, Dev and Meghna reach for each other and clasp hands, signaling a commitment beyond friendship. The moment shifts the focus of the celebration from tradition to their shared future. It marks the emotional hinge of the story.

In the epilogue, they are committed to each other while living in different cities and saving for their wedding. Dev's startup is thriving and Meghna is pursuing her own path, with a clear plan to marry and eventually live in Bengaluru. They have both discovered a life and love worth building together.
