Avantika is a stunning investment banker who is adept at numbers and has become the center of attraction for every male. She is a rising star in her field and the epitome of elegance with brain. She meets Deb and falls in love with him while in college. Nobody expected them to become a couple, but they fall irreversibly in love with each other.

Deb is a former business executive who wanted to become a great writer but ends up working as a scriptwriter for saas-bahu serials. He isn't particularly attractive, and his bank account isn't exactly bulging.

He excels at one thing: falling in love with Avantika. Avantika is in desperate need of it. Against all odds, they have managed to stay together for ten years and have done well so far. But that's about to change.
