Masaba Masaba

Plot

Masaba and her friends and family are left in a stir when an apparent rumor indicating her rocky marriage is featured in the newspaper. Despite speculation, she attends an award function with her husband, Vinay, hoping to hush everyone. However, after the program concludes, it is revealed the couple has decided to end things, and upon Vinay's insistence, Masaba makes the news public through Instagram. She moves in with her mother, Neena Gupta, and struggles with the separation, her mother's constant interference, and unwanted social scrutiny, which begins to affect her professional life.

She eventually moves out to work on a new collection in peace. Her collection launch titled "Hot mess," inspired by her own life, is a disaster. Her therapist tells her that her survival instinct is high because she always finds a way of escaping her problems. Set to make things right, Masaba faces her infuriated investors, who warn her to fix things before it's too late.

She relaunches the collection, using her own employees as models to emphasize that "Hot Mess" celebrates imperfections. She then meets Vinay to sell off their house, marking the proper ending of her relationship. She apologizes to her main investor, Mr. Rana, who instead informs her that her relaunch posts have been taken positively by the industry. Masaba breaks down in tears, and Mr. Rana apologizes for not believing in her at first, then starts to take a romantic liking towards her.

Her next collection launch takes a sad turn when the audience leaves to see wannabe-influencer/designer Qayannat's collection. Amidst tension, she takes a pregnancy test, which comes out negative, straining her relationship with her mother. She launches "House of Shadi" for wedding clothes and finds herself in a weird relationship with the groom, while hinting at interest towards Mr. Rana. She eventually makes a choice and settles for the best.
