This is a story about an architect, Raj Malhotra. While he was a top student in his school and college days, he did not have much luck in finding work, clients, or projects. Everything he does seems to go wrong. Raj Malhotra goes to a Romani named Haseena Bano Jaan. She advises him that his luck is not good and he needs a good luck charm or a person who can change his life. Afterward, Raj Malhotra meets Priya Saluja, who is ready to help the citizens of a community by trying to save the community centre. Although they do not get along at first, Raj Malhotra eventually realizes that Priya Saluja is his lucky charm. Priya Saluja ends up helping Raj Malhotra through sticky situations, and Raj Malhotra eventually figures out that she is, in fact, changing his life. Knowing this, Raj Malhotra lies to Priya Saluja by telling her that he will help her save the community center, but instead, he is trying to build a shopping mall there so he can finally be recognized as an architect. He also falls in love with Priya Saluja, and she too falls for him. However, when Priya Saluja finds out the truth about what Raj Malhotra is trying to do, she becomes sad. To make up for his lie, Raj Malhotra sells everything he has, not caring about his job. He proposes a plan to save the community center and ends up winning Priya's love and admiration.
