Shaan and Saloni struggle with their undefined relationship; Shaan being hell bent on staying in denial and Saloni not willing to give up on them so easily. Shaan always on the lookout for a quick buck gets himself into a pitiful condition where he has no option but to steal from the person who cared for him the most. Kim is a home baker, whose daily routine involves talking to lovers who are getting married and want their story fused in their wedding cake. Unknowingly she lives and loves through them vicariously. Debu having learnt his lessons from each misadventure smarts up to the ways of women, Shaan learns about love after having lost it and Alisha finds her feet as an individual and opens her own little boutique of designer dresses.
