It becomes his tough luck when the lady he falls in love with is the kind that values education and advocates for it. The two must meet themselves in the middle while finding a way to solve the puzzles of loving each other.
Mismatched full story
Shaurya Sabherwal comes from a wealthy and educated family in the Chandigarh society. His father, the Sabherwal Institute of Arts and Commerce (SIAC) owner, is a lecturing professor. He left his first love, Shagun, at the altar after the latter decided to place her education at Cambridge University above being a full-time housewife.
Shaurya is a fervent believer in the traditional roles that society has fixed for both genders. However, this belief stems from the happenings in his life while growing up. Apparently, his mother had left him in the care of his father's relative so that she could pursue an educational career. The tales from his foster parents, especially his aunt, ignited a revival against liberation in him.

As fate would have it, Shaurya's belief is put to the test when he is lovestruck by a female student in the institution where he teaches. The girl's name is Anokhi. Anokhi is an intelligent lady whose love for technology is almost unrivaled in the school, and she is also a staunch advocate of female independence.
However, she must overcome some obstacles to reach her goals. One of such obstacles is that her father is hellbent on marrying her off to an alcoholic known as Monty. Her insistence on being free of the marriage to further her studies gets her into trouble with her father, and she is locked up in a room.
Anokhi's close associates, Rama and Babli, find out that Monty does not deserve their friend, and they help her escape from her captivity. Thanks to the help of Aastha, Shaurya's mother, Anokhi gains admission into the Sabherwal Institute for Arts and Commerce.
Settling into the education system of the institution is another issue for Anokhi as her colleagues at school bully her. The fact that one of her professors does not see eye to eye with her benefactor, Aastha, makes it even worse. This is because Aastha, who also works at the institution, will always support Anokhi, and Shaurya, who dislikes his mother, will always do anything to undermine her.
Several conflicts of interest between Anokhi, Shaurya, Aastha, Devi, and Shagun will eventually lead to a love story between a man who thinks female education is a waste and a woman who is all for females' liberation.
