Description: Krish Malhotra, a young engineer from IIT Delhi, pursues his MBA at IIM Ahmedabad in Gujarat. He hails from a troubled, affluent Punjabi Hindu family in Delhi, where his mother, Kavita Malhotra, often faces abuse from his father, Vikram Malhotra. At IIM, Krish meets Ananya Swaminathan, a brilliant economics student from a traditional Tamil Brahmin family. Initially at odds, they eventually become friends and start studying together. Ananya, despite her academic excellence, struggles with simple questions posed by her professor and turns to Krish for help, recognizing his intelligence.
Krish develops feelings for Ananya and eventually confesses his emotions, suggesting they either end their friendship or take their relationship to the next level. They begin dating and grow closer over the next 22 months on campus. Krish reveals his true passion for writing, a career path he wishes to pursue. Both secure jobs during campus placements—Krish at Yes Bank and Ananya at Sunsilk. Krish proposes to Ananya, and she accepts.
After graduation, they plan to marry. However, their families clash during a meeting at the convocation ceremony. Krish’s loud Punjabi mother struggles to connect with Ananya’s reserved Tamil parents. Post-graduation, Ananya starts her marketing career in Chennai, while Krish returns to Delhi, facing pressure from his family to abandon his writing aspirations. Their journey revolves around navigating cultural differences and familial challenges while pursuing their love and dreams.
