==Plot==
Dhruv Shikhar is an orphan who used to work at Purushottam's dhaba. After becoming an adult, he became an entrepreneur and falls in love with Aanya Mehra, whom he first met at his Virtual reality app launch event. They soon become friends and then, friendship turns into love. He gets to know from her that she would like to marry a guy with a sweet family and a pet dog. She also tells him that her parents, Anand Mehra and Yamini Mehra, died in a theater fire when she was seven years old after which she started living with her aunt, Roopa Mehra and uncle, Dr. Sanjeev Mehra.

With the help of his best friend Sandeep aka Shunty, and a creepy marriage broker Joginder Arora aka Shaadiram, he unsuccessfully attempts to find fake parents to make a perfect family to impress Aanya. Then, he suddenly remembers Purushottam, who now lives in an old age home in some other city and goes to find him, along with Shunty. Their initial attempt at making Purushottam as his fake father fails, but somebody tells them about the only love of his life, Deepti Kashyap, who, because of his lack of confidence to elope, left him angrily and married another man. There too, they fail initially when they tell her that her pretend husband would be Purushottam. However, when Shunty tells her that she was the one who visited Purushottam's dhaba many years ago, when Dhruv used to work there, and gave Dhruv money to buy some new clothes for himself and asked him to change his name from "Bal Premi" to a better and more realistic name, she immediately agrees to act as Dhruv's fake mother. Seeing Deepti, Purushottam also agrees to act as his father, because even after all these years, he still loves her.

Soon they meet Aanya's parents and with a few lies in attempting to make it look like a true family, their marriage is fixed. Unfortunately, because of an accidental reveal of Dhruv being an orphan and his fake family, Aanya's family cancels the marriage on the Sangeet day. After the failed attempt at marriage, Aanya's angry uncle and aunt fix her marriage with somebody else.

On the other hand, because of living together for so long, Purushottam, Deepti and Dhruv start living like a real family. Seeing Dhruv's sorrow, his "parents" - Purushottam and Deepti go to apologize to the Mehra family and find out about her upcoming wedding with another man, and Dr. Sanjeev Mehra humiliates both of them. Dhruv learns of this, and tells his parents to forget about Aanya. In the end, it is because of Aanya's younger sister Kanika, that she understands that Dhruv is the right man for her, as he took the trouble of creating a whole family, simply for her. She then goes to him and proposes, and he finally agrees and they marry.
