Patience
Parth's (Aditya Roy Kapur) approach with Chumki (Sara Ali Khan) demonstrates that real love does wait and it doesn't rush or pressure. Their story reaches its climax when Chumki confesses her feelings hours before Parth's wedding to another woman. When he urges immediate marriage, she declines, showing emotional maturity.
The pivotal railway station scene becomes symbolic when the train stops, symbolising fate's intervention. Parth gives her space rather than forcing decisions. This patience pays off when Chumki introduces him to her mother and sister, leading to their engagement.
The Art of Forgiveness
Kajol (Konkona Sensharma) and Monty's (Pankaj Tripathi) reconciliation proves that marriages can survive major betrayals when both are committed to change and growth. Their marriage faces its biggest test when Kajol discovers Monty's dating app usage.
Instead of immediate confrontation, she uses the same app to flirt with him, leading to painful realisations. Their separation sends Kajol to Goa, where she assumes the identity of Maya and experiences love without baggage. When Monty discovers her affair with a younger man, both must confront their marriage's reality.
The ending shows Monty visiting Kajol's maternal home, seeking another chance. Their resolution demonstrates that marriages can survive infidelity when both partners are willing to work on rebuilding trust.

Meaningful Sacrifice
Akash (Ali Fazal) and Shruti's (Fatima Sana Shaikh) journey showcases that successful relationships require both partners to support and make sacrifices whenever necessary. Their story tackles early marriage pressures, financial constraints, and career ambitions.

Their story emphasises that relationships grow stronger when couples support each other's dreams while building a family together.
