The story follows Aditya, known as Adi, an unemployed young man with a photographic memory. He struggles with his relationship with his elder brother Raman, who dotes on Avni, Raman’s wife and Adi’s sister-in-law. Adi had left home fifteen months earlier and was living with his paternal uncle. Raman calls Adi back and tasks him with accompanying Avni, who has been transferred to Dhamli for two months while Raman moves to Bangalore. Avni pressures Adi to handle household chores, frustrating him as he tries to hire a maid, but she refuses. She also encourages Adi to pursue a career in software engineering, but he resists.
Adi’s life takes a turn when he meets Natasha, or Nikki, who instantly proposes to him. Adi is surprised but quickly falls for her. It is later revealed that Nikki is Avni’s cousin and has been observing Adi since Avni and Raman’s wedding. Avni discovers the relationship and sends Nikki home. Adi becomes frustrated and decides to return to his uncle, only to learn that it was Raman’s decision to send him away to teach him responsibility, not Avni’s. Avni had assigned him chores to instill the value of hard work. Eventually, Avni plans to propose Nikki’s family for Adi’s marriage.
