After their awkward first date where they initially disliked each other, Chaman drives Apsara home and they get into a car accident.

Desperate to boost his confidence and improve his chances of finding a wife, Chaman wears a wig to alter his appearance. When his colleagues and students discover the deception, they mock him.

Chaman approaches several colleagues after his wedding disappointment, but they all reject him, each claiming to already have boyfriends. Later, one of these colleagues shows interest in him. However, she asks him to meet her parents while wearing the wig, ironically preferring his inauthentic version. This moment becomes a turning point for Chaman, helping him recognize that Apsara valued his inner qualities rather than his looks.

When Chaman agrees to meet his colleague's parents wearing the wig, he sees that she values his false appearance. This contrasts with Apsara, who posted their photo publicly despite knowing his true looks and encouraged him to accept himself. Through this comparison, Chaman realizes Apsara loved him for who he really is, not for a manufactured image.

Apsara posts their photo on Facebook during the engagement period, which becomes a target for mocking comments from college students who ridicule both of them. Chaman is furious and demands she delete it. However, Apsara stands her ground, explaining that people will always judge and criticize, urging him to accept himself rather than react to every negative comment.

Chaman enters the engagement largely due to external circumstances, the accident and family pressure, rather than genuine emotional connection. He's uncomfortable with the rushed timeline and feels trapped by expectations. His unhappiness stems from his own insecurity and inability to see Apsara's sincere affection, as he's still hung up on superficial concerns about looks and social judgment.

• engagement doubts
• pressure
• emotional readiness

The clerk's dinner scene where he introduces his mute wife demonstrates that deep emotional bonds and happiness can exist without conventional romantic ideals or physical appearances. Witnessing this genuine connection helps Chaman understand that meaningful relationships are built on understanding and acceptance, not looks or social standards. This realization shifts his focus from superficial criteria to authentic connection.
