Yenkey Singh is a divorced single parent who runs a successful Indian restaurant in Canada, living with his son Honsla Singh. He is desperate to find a wife and often introduces his son as his younger brother when he meets a pretty girl. One day, while waiting at the airport for a delayed flight, he runs into his ex-wife Sweety.
In a flashback, a young Yenkey and Sweety are on a date where Sweety places a condition that after marriage, they won’t have any kids and would focus on their careers. But after a few months of their marriage, Sweety gets pregnant and experiences mood swings. She demands a divorce and wants Yenkey to get child custody. After the child is born, Sweety leaves Yenkey and her newborn child with him, whom he names Honsla. Then, the film depicts the struggle Yenkey faced as a single parent, and how he couldn’t marry a single girl as he is always rejected for having a child.
After the flashback, Sweety is revealed to be a successful fashion designer, who then finally meets her son, Honsla. Just as she meets Honsla, her new husband calls her, thus disappointing Yenkey. As the delayed flight is cancelled, Yenkey meets Jasmine, and falls in love with her instantly. They become friends and start dating. Yenkey proposes to Jasmine, but she rejects him as soon as she finds out he has a son. But Honsla lies, stating that his father’s first wife is dead, leading to Jasmine to marry Yenkey.
Initially, both of them introduce Honsla as Yenkey’s younger brother to their family, and Jasmine’s parents agree to their marriage. The situation deteriorates when Sweety and her husband appear at his wedding. Yenkey and Honsla both decide to tell everyone the truth, as he doesn’t want to hurt Jasmine and her parents anymore.
During their engagement, Yenkey tells everyone the truth. He confesses that Sweety was his first wife and Honsla is his and Sweety’s son. Seeing his father sad, Honsla decides to stay with Sweety for his father’s sake, but Yenkey, who loves Honsla, leaves the engagement on the spot. Then, it is revealed that both were doing a small drama to convince Jasmine and her family members. All of them finally forgive Yenkey and accept Honsla. Just as Sweety and her husband leave, Honsla calls Sweety “Mummy”, thus enlightening her.
“Mummy”
Yenkey says that Sweety can meet Honsla whenever she wants and the film ends on a happy note with a group photo.
