During the course of the mission, Jatt Ambarsariya meets Jasleen Kaur ([[Navneet Kaur Dhillon]]), his boss at the insurance company. His boss falls for him. Then there is Kirat ([[Monica Gill]]), his landlord who is smitten by his charm and calmness. In accomplishing his mission, he falls in love with both of them and the same goes for them, resulting in a love triangle.

We flash forward to present time where Jatt is at a Dhaba and he is talking to some bystanders. One of them asks what happened with the girls he loved? Jatt stated that after the conclusion of his mission, he vowed to remain true to his job so he broke their hearts. The bystanders in shock walk away in disgust.
