Synopsis
When Kavya Pratap Singh, a chirpy, yet fiesty
girl from Ambala, decides to make a trip to
Delhi for her marriage shopping, she meets a
young, carefree Delhi lad, Humpty Sharma.
Humpty's father is the owner of a campus
bookstore, where Humpty and his two best
friends, Shonty and Poplu, have grown up
together and which remains their hangout
spot even now. Kavya is unattainable for
Humpty initially, which makes her even more
endearing to him. But being a Delhi boy, he is
not the one to give up so easily. With some
help from his two best friends, he finds out all
about her and through an interesting turn of
events (including a ploy to save Kavya's
friend Gurpreet's marriage), they start
growing closer to each other.
The more time they spend with each other,
their love hate banter grows, but their
chemistry is apparent. They are both
different, yet very similar as people. They are
young, fiesty and carefree, and its the spurge
of life which attracts them to each other.
As per plan, once Kavya's trip ends, she heads
back to Ambala, knowing very well that her
father, the very strict, yet loving Mr. Singh,
would never accept her love for Humpty. But
even though they both weren't looking for
love, love happened. So Humpty, accompanied
by his two friends, decides to go get Kavya.
That's the beginning of a journey for him that
he wouldn't have imagined undertaking even
in the wildest of his dreams. Humpty, against
all odds, decides to convince Kavya's family to
agree to his alliance with her. How he does
this and if he succeeds in his mission forms
the rest of the story.
