Soon, she crosses paths with a NRI Sindhi man Arjun and they both fall in love after many confusions. They soon get married and their life goes on.

Cast

Reception

The Tribune stated, "Star’s shanno Ki Shaadi looks far less shambolic. We’re happy to see the ultra-gifted Divya Dutta back on the medium. She has a way of lighting up the medium. Most of the characters are true to life. And the sequences revolving around a Punjabi wedding add to the credibility of the sitcom."[8] [9]

Rediff stated, "The show's USP appears to be its simplicity and the way the audience can relate to the characters."[10]
