So, Jass makes a plan with Honey to trick Meet believing that Jass has a large family and he loves her a lot. Soon, Meet requests Jass to take her to meet his family with her uncle. But Jass refuses since he does not have any family. On the other hand, Meet's uncle starts searching for grooms for Meet. Her uncle and Honey had met before so they asked him to find any groom for her and Honey asks Meet to marry Jass. Jass hatches a new plan of showing that Advocate Dhillon is his father and showing Dhillon that Meet is Goldie's wife but this creates a lot of confusion and problems.
