As Sweety is curious to know why Yenkey did not remarry, the story goes back to the beginning of their marriage and sequences leading to their divorce, even though Sweety was carrying Yenkey’s child. Shehnaaz, who plays an ambitious young woman, has broken out of the mould of a giggly, child woman you saw in ‘Bigg Boss’.

In essaying a young married man working with his nose to the grind to keep his wife and future kid well provided for, Diljit is convincing.
