Plot

When Kavya Pratap Singh, a chirpy, feisty young women from Ambala, goes to Delhi for her marriage shopping for a designer lehenga, 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. Kavya is unattainable for Humpty initially, which makes her even more endearing to him. But, being a Delhi guy, he won't 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 different, yet very similar as people. They are young, feisty and carefree, and it's the spurge of life which attracts them to each other. Kavya has to return back to Ambala within a month. They end up sleeping together.

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 weren't looking for love, love happened.

So Humpty, accompanied by his two friends, decides to go to 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, convinces Kavya's family to agree to his alliance with her. But Kavya's father challenged Humpty to show him one reason Kavya should not marry her fiancé ,and agreed to accept if done as said. How he does this forms the rest of the story. However Kavya's dad accepts Humpty in the end and Kavya and Humpty reunites at the end of the story.
