Sameer is a highly successful doctor who not only tends to his patients’ ailments but also wins the trust and affection of many of his female patients. His charm seems almost irresistible, and he handles romantic advances with a light touch of misdirection. The only person who doesn’t fall under his spell is his dutiful nurse, Naina, who, perhaps out of professional discipline or personal boundaries, keeps a cautious distance from his flirtations.
Whenever a woman gets too close or starts talking about marriage, Sameer slips away by claiming he is already married. This tiny lie serves as a shield that keeps most suitors at bay, allowing him to preserve his freedom. But everything changes the moment he meets Sonia, a beautiful and lively woman who seems to radiate possibility. He is immediately smitten, and in a moment of audacious bravado, he fibs about having a wife to keep Sonia from pushing him toward commitment too quickly. Yet Sonia’s interest grows, and she decides she wants to meet this elusive “wife.”
To pull off a believable meeting, Sameer stages a small family illusion. He introduces Naina, along with her niece and nephew, as his wife and children. The ruse is clever, but it is far from simple. The more he tries to maintain the fake picture, the more tangled the web becomes, especially as Sonia’s curiosity deepens and she begins to see how the story fits — or rather, doesn’t fit — with the reality of his life.
The deception gains a new ally in the courtroom world: Vicky, Vicky is his best friend and a sharp lawyer who helps arrange a “divorce” from the supposed wife. Yet Vicky’s personal life adds a layer of complication; despite having a steady girlfriend, he can’t help flirting with the very woman Naina who plays along with the ruse. The arrangement is technically just a ploy, but it brings real emotions into play and makes the consequences feel closer than ever.
Adding pressure to the tangle is the sudden appearance of Samir’s Mother, a protective figure who does not want her son to sever ties with the woman he’s supposedly married to. Her presence injects a sense of tradition and family duty into the scheme, threatening to unravel the whole plan just when it seems to be stabilizing. And then there is Sonia’s neighbor, a would-be rival in love named Pyare, who resists the idea of Sonia marrying Sameer and pursues his own claim to her heart. His interference raises the stakes and makes the outcome less predictable than anyone anticipated, turning a private web of deception into a near-community spectacle.
As the pressure mounts, the lies grow thicker, and the stakes become more personal. Sameer manages to persuade Sonia to go through with an intended marriage to him, hoping to secure a future built on truth by the end of the day. But before any ceremony can take place, Naina confronts Sonia and lays bare the entire web of manipulation — the web that was designed to coax Sonia into accepting a husband who isn’t really hers. Sonia, surprised and moved by the sincerity of the performance she’s witnessed, reveals a crucial truth: while she isn’t the right wife for him, the choice of who is right hinges on genuine love, not on a performance crafted to win him over.
In that tense moment at the altar, Sonia recognizes that the real match lies with the woman who has stayed true to her feelings, not the one drawn into a scripted arrangement. The moment of truth shifts the plan: Sonia declares that it is Naina who would be the better partner, given that she has shown real devotion by playing along, even when it meant an emotional cost. Faced with this revelation, Sameer rethinks the path he has sculpted and chooses honesty over the illusion he has maintained.
A dramatic race to the airport follows. Naina reveals her own longing to leave for Canada, a goal tied to a complicated mix of love and fear. Yet in a pivotal turn, the one who arrives in time is Sameer, who seeks to make amends and salvage what remains of their bond. He apologizes and urges Naina to stay, appealing to the sense that their love has endured because of truth and trust rather than clever misdirection. In the end, the choice is made: Naina agrees to stay with Sameer and his family, and Sonia accepts a future with Pyare, moving forward with her own path rather than pressing into a union built on subterfuge.
The movie closes on a note that blends humor, romance, and a tempered realism about relationships. The characters navigate a landscape where appearances can be misleading, and where love is tested not only by desire but by the willingness to own up to one’s actions and to commit to another person with honesty. The relationships that emerge feel earned, with each person weighing what they want against what is right for those they care about, and with a sense that sometimes the right partner isn’t the one who is easiest to impress, but the one who proves their loyalty through sincerity over deceit.
