Plot

This is the story of Raj Malhotra, an architect. Despite being a top student at school and university, he struggled to find work, clients or projects. Everything he did seemed to go wrong. He went to see a Romani woman named Haseena Bano Jaan for advice. She told him that he either needed a good luck charm or to change his luck because he was unlucky. Subsequently, Raj met Priya Saluja, who was trying to save the community centre and help its citizens. Although they did not get along at first, Raj eventually realised that Priya was his lucky charm. She helped him out of tricky situations, changing his life for the better. However, Raj lied to Priya, telling her that he would help her save the community centre when actually he intended to build a shopping mall there to gain recognition as an architect. He also fell in love with her, and she fell for him too. When Priya found out the truth, however, she was upset. To make up for his lie, Raj sold all his possessions and quit his job. He proposed a plan to save the community centre, thereby winning back Priya's love and admiration.
