Ila is a young housewife seeking the attention of her husband, Rajeev, and searching for ways to bring the romance back into her marriage; one of her ideas is to cook delicious lunches for him.

An exchange of letters sent back and forth with the lunches ignites a friendship between the two, as they share memories and events from their own lives.

Socially distant after his wife's death, Saajan is initially reluctant to interact with Shaikh and train him.
