At one point, Saajan saves Shaikh's job by covering for his blatant mistakes on pay orders and he also becomes his best man at his wedding with Mehrunissa.Īt home, Ila finds out that her husband is having an affair and she begins to give up hope on her marriage. Saajan and Shaikh gradually get to know each other better and strike a close friendship as well. An exchange of the messages sent back and forth with the lunches ignites a friendship between the two, as they share memories and events of their own individual lives.Īt work, Saajan is tasked with training his replacement, Shaikh, an orphan whose incompetence initially annoys Saajan, who is already socially distant since his wife's death. Ila eventually realizes the mistake and with the advice of her neighbour Auntie (a term of respect, rather than her actual aunt) living in the apartment above her, writes a letter to Saajan about the mix up and places it in the lunchbox (along with her husband's favourite meal) the next day. Due to a mix-up, the lunchbox Ila prepares for her husband gets delivered, instead, to Saajan Fernandes, a widower who is about to retire from his job as an accountant.
