Spoiler-free synopsis

Navjot Singh, an Ayurvedic doctor in Hoshiarpur, leads a highly unusual household. His elder son Yuvraj is hard of hearing, younger son Harbhajan ("Bhajji") has a pronounced stutter, and daughter Paro suffers from night blindness. Despite their warm relationships, the family is plagued by personal challenges they desperately try to keep hidden. When Navjot finds a marriage proposal for Paro from Rohit Patel, an NRI from Australia, the entire Singh family leaps into action to present themselves in the best light, concealing every one of their flaws from Rohit and his parents. Paro and Rohit had earlier met by chance during a trip to Switzerland, when Rohit rescues her from a purse thief, but Paro's condition prevents her from seeing him clearly in dim light. When Rohit comes to India to formally meet Paro's family, his arrival at night becomes the first of many obstacles caused by the Singh family's deception-Paro can't see him well; Navjot and the brothers scramble to avoid revealing the truth. Yuvraj's wife Billo, who only discovered after marriage that he could not hear properly, gradually becomes suspicious of the Singh family's secrecy. She sees parallels in Paro's situation and begins plotting to force the exposure of their hidden truths. Meanwhile, Rohit is also keeping a secret: he suffers from hemeralopia (day-blindness), meaning he struggles to see clearly in bright daylight. This revelation adds a twist to the already tangled web of concealments. Under pressure, multiple deception plots unravel. Members of both families learn the truths about one another's conditions. In particular, Rohit's condition becomes known, as do Paro's and her family's flaws. In the climax, truths are confronted openly. Despite the chaos, hurt feelings, and misunderstandings, the two families come to recognize that imperfections are part of human nature. The story concludes on a reconciliatory note: Paro and Rohit are married, with their families embracing them fully-flaws and all-with the message that acceptance and honesty are more powerful than facade and pretence.
