Struggling to meet the overwhelming medical expenses and receiving no support from her in-laws, Katha found herself at crossroad. Meanwhile, Viaan Raghuvanshi, a successful architect, carries the scars of his past. His father's abandonment of his mother, Teji, for another woman had left Viaan with deep emotional trauma. He had developed a cynical view of women, perceiving them as gold diggers as a result of his mother's attempt to paint his father as a gullible and a cheating husband. Katha, works at Viaan and his best friend Ehsan's company Earthcon. Apart from a few small slip-ups and initial misunderstandings, Katha manages to impress everyone with her talent and resourcefulness. Ehsan starts getting attracted to her and tries to impress her but get no response from Katha's end apart from friendship. Driven by her son's desperate need for treatment, Katha turns to her boss, Viaan, seeking financial assistance. However, she never mentions the reason for which she needs money, as she had posed as a single unmarried woman in her job application due to an old, unfair company policy that no one had paid attention to. This ask for a large amount of money leads to Viaan considering her as another potential gold digger. Viaan perceived Katha as a woman with integrity. So, instead of a simple offer of help, Viaan proposed an unthinkable condition to test her - that Katha spend a night with him in return for the money. It was a heart-wrenching decision for Katha, but her love for Aarav pushed her to reluctantly accept, knowing that his life hung in balance.
