Why was Mudit not able to connect with Sugandha?
Mudit Sharma, a young man hailing from Delhi, crosses paths with Sugandha Joshi, a native of Gurgaon. Mudit immediately develops feelings for her. However, Mudit fails to connect with Sugandha despite multiple attempts due to his reserved nature. Yet he keeps making continuous efforts to connect with Sugandha by exploring different avenues of communication.
After finally mustering the courage, Mudit sends Sugandha an online marriage proposal. They finally meet in person and decide to take their relationship to the next level. For Sugandha, accepting the proposal becomes a significant milestone, marking her first major decision for her own life. Subsequently, formal marriage proposals are exchanged between their families.
During a moment of intimacy, when Sugandha’s parents are away, Mudit and Sugandha attempt to deepen their connection. However, their plans take an unexpected turn when Mudit, visibly uncomfortable, excuses himself to use the restroom. Upon his return, Mudit’s sudden change of demeanor prompts Sugandha’s concern. With a subtle gesture involving a biscuit, Mudit hints at his struggle with erectile dysfunction. Sugandha realizes the gravity of the situation.
Who was Mudit’s well-wisher?
Despite their earnest efforts, Mudit and Sugandha struggle to find a solution to their intimacy issue. As the reality of their impending marriage sinks in for Mudit, he makes the difficult decision to call it off. This sparks a heated argument between the two. However, Sugandha, deeply in love and determined to make their relationship work, staunchly refuses to cancel the wedding, insisting that Mudit and his wedding procession attend as planned.
Accompanied by a motley crew of relatives, Mudit sets off for Haridwar, the chosen venue for their marriage. Throughout the journey, Mudit is plagued by incessant calls from an unknown caller claiming to be a well-wisher with knowledge of his predicament. Despite his attempts to ignore the calls, they persist, adding to his mounting anxiety.
Upon reaching Haridwar, the calls persist, further adding to Mudit’s distress. In a moment of frustration, Sugandha decides to answer the call, unleashing a barrage of insults on the unknown caller. However, her anger quickly turns to shock when she realizes that the caller is none other than her own father, who had been trying to offer support and guidance to Mudit in his time of need.
Mudit’s future father-in-law accompanied him to consult a specialist, who suggested that stress might be the underlying cause of Mudit’s issue. As the wedding day draws near, Sugandha and Mudit make one last attempt at intimacy, encouraged by eager relatives from both sides of the family. However, when they emerge from the room, they are met with anxious anticipation from their families, who eagerly await news of their success. Mudit claims to have overcome his issue, but Sugandha disagrees, causing deep concern among their families.
