Plot

Asha Maurya is a brilliant and idealistic economist who’s focused on her career and fed up with the pressure from her family to marry. Hoping to launch a microlending program for women in Southeast Asia, Asha welcomes a respite from her overbearing mother’s pestering. After reluctantly going on a date with local bachelor Ravi Shah, she ropes him into pretending they’re an item. Meanwhile, Ravi struggles to earn his father’s respect and hopes a promising relationship might make things better, even if it’s a facade. Asha and Ravi don’t exactly get along at first, which is precisely why they’re confident their plan will work — until they actually start falling for each other.
