The music begins at a point with a scene which gives out a sense of confusion in a man's love life, with chairs falling down, a book with one of its torn page thrown in along with an unidentified girl (portrayed by Rhea Chakraborty) exiting a house through a gate. Later after a few hours a disillusioned Ayushmann Khurrana is shown sitting on a chair scribbling on his tablet with a stylus, singing the song as he pens some words. As he writes down disappointedly he reminisces about the happier times with his partner and scenes of them hugging are shown. Further they are shown to enjoy each other's company while listening to music and other activities. Thereafter other scenes are also shown which consolidates the fact that they had a happy relationship which forms the core theme for the rest of the music video. It concludes with a roll-over text saying: "However messy it is ... always be in love ;)", referring to the final scene where the couple leave the house after messing it up. [7]
