At his friend Sadhu's (Sadhu Kokila) wedding reception, he sees Priva (Nandini Rai) and falls for her. He asks Sadhu's wife to learn more about Priya. Sadhu's wife gives Priya's number to her husband and asks him to pass it to Raj. A miscommunication between Raj and Sadhu leads to Raj calling another woman, Nandani (Amulya). Raj mistakes Nandani for Priya on the phone and has a conversation with her. Unbeknownst to him, Nandani knows who Raj is and develops an interest in him. Through a series of events, everything is revealed and Raj's confusion is cleared.
