Description: Dr. Baldev Chaddha is a fertility specialist who operates a clinic and a sperm bank in Daryaganj, Delhi. Despite his efforts, his clinic has more failures than successes, and he is in search of a healthy and high-performing sperm donor.
Vicky Arora, a carefree Punjabi youth, is the only son of his widowed mother, Dolly, who runs a small beauty parlor in Lajpat Nagar. Vicky, who often avoids responsibilities, seeks a job to improve his family’s financial situation.
Dr. Chaddha meets Vicky and believes he is the perfect donor he has been searching for. After persistent efforts, he convinces Vicky to become a sperm donor. Initially hesitant, Vicky agrees after being offered a generous salary. Keeping his new career a secret from his friends and family, Vicky starts spending his earnings on renovating his home and his mother’s parlor.
Vicky falls in love with Ashima Roy, an ambitious accountant, after meeting her at the bank. Despite their cultural differences—Ashima is a divorced Bengali woman—the couple decides to marry after overcoming family objections. After marriage, Vicky stops donating sperm, much to Dr. Chaddha’s disappointment, as Vicky was his most successful donor.
The story takes an ironic turn when the couple discovers that Ashima is infertile. They consider fertility testing, but Vicky cannot undergo the test without revealing his past as a sperm donor. When Ashima learns the truth, she is shocked and leaves for her parental home. Heartbroken, Vicky cuts ties with Dr. Chaddha.
