Now, Sugandha wanted a movie like love marriage, where there is family discord, she runs away with the groom, and her father yells at her husband vowing to never see his face again.

When Sugandha asks what happened, he without saying anything, simply signals his problem with the help of a biscuit, making Sugandha realize that Mudit suffers from Erectile Dysfunction. Now Sugandha is really looking forward to having sex and also loves Mudit. She decides to tackle the problem head on and is determined to make her relationship with Mudit work. Sugandha's best friend is Ginni (Anshul Chauhan), while Mudit's best friend is Duggal (Manuj Sharma).

They both get into heated argument and Sugandha leaves saying that she will be waiting for him and Baraat. Eventually, Mudit along with his relatives, leave for Haridwar, where the marriage is scheduled to take place. In the journey, Mudit constantly receives calls from someone stating that he is his well-wisher and knows about his problem. When he reached Haridwar, Sugandha picks up the phone, scolds and abuses the unknown person, and suddenly realizes, that well-wisher was Sugandha's father. He got worried after seeing Sugandha depressed for multiple weeks and decided to check her WhatsApp.When Mudit and his father-in-law consult a doctor (Gopal Datt) (who is a veterinarian), the doctor just informs him that it's all because of tension. 'Don't take tension and the problem will be solved', the doctor suggests. But now the issue is visible to both families. Sugandha's father wants Sugandha to run away from the wedding. Mudit's parents are adamant that the issue is with Sugandha and not Mudit. One day before the marriage, again Sugandha and Mudit try getting intimate again in order to check if the issue has been resolved. Coming out of room they find every family member waiting excitedly about whether they succeeded in getting intimate or not. Mudit says that he had an erection, but Sugandha said he didn't.
