Meanwhile, Raina suggests an unusual arrangement to teach Vivi her methods. She then uses her expertise to help Vivi find love, and she can then use the methods to help her company. As they embark on the matchmaking journey, Vivi meets Raina’s spontaneous son, Brumesh (Rushi Kota). This leads her to question whether finding love is something you can take control of, or allow to happen on its own.
