Aman Kapoor Rahul Bose is a wealthy investment banker, whose pregnant wife Rinke Khanna Neha was killed in a car accident more than a decade ago. The loss leaves him depressed and lonely, and while social obligations pull him into a party he would rather skip, the storm’s moodiness pushes him toward retreat. As heavy rain floods the road, his car breaks down, his phone dies, and he seeks shelter in a lone alley where he meets Chameli Kareena Kapoor Khan, a street-smart prostitute.
