Shruti initially rejects Bittoo's offers of partnership, as she believes that any possible partnership between a man and a woman will lead to romantic complications that, in turn, would bring down the business. She, however, let's him be around her when trying to get a job with a famous wedding planner. Thanks to Bittoo charming personality and quick thinking, both get hired, but soon are taken aback by the unscrupulous practices and total lack of work ethic of their boss. When, after a client complains about a unfulfilled petition their boss tried to shift the blame towards Shruti, it became the last straw and after Bitoo defends her both walk away. They soon form their own wedding planning company, ''Shaadi Mubarak'', which they manage with increasing success thanks to the synergizing of their respective talents. In the process, Bittoo and Shruti become extremely good friends.
When they finally get their first big client (whom they stole from their former boss), they celebrate by getting very drunk.

Line 15 ⟶ 16:
* [[Bad Boss]]: Chanda Narang.
* [[Birds of a Feather]]: Bittoo and Shruti. While superficially [[Opposites Attract|quite opposite]], in truth they are more similar than they give each other credit for, being both hardworking and resourceful. Shown when they had to work together again, and they quickly get in to the same workflow they used to have before their breakup.
* [[Bridezilla]]: the bride that makes Shruti and Bittoo work together again turns out to be one of these. Along with wanting them both to organize her wedding (and it was to be them ''both''), she was ready to call
* [[Career Versus Man]]: Averted: Shruti's career ambitions are not portrayed in a negative way and are encouraged by other characters. What's more, she falls for Bittoo because he is willing to work as hard as her, and she accepted the fiancé she is engaged near the end of the film because he was the only candidate who wasn't opposed to her to keep working after marriage. {{Spoiler|Bittoo, in turn, realizes that he loves her precisely because of her driven, hardworking nature and because he enjoys working with her.}}
* [[Disposable Fiancé]]: Shruti gains one by the end of the film. He's so disposable, [[The Ghost|he doesn't even appear on screen]], and is only listened on her cellphone.
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
* [[It Doesn't Mean Anything]]: Bittoo tries to justify his and Shruti's drunk sex night to her with this. Needless to say, it only hastens their friendship and partnership breakup.
* [[Kissing Under the Influence]]
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Shruti is completely unable to make
* [[Love Epiphany]]: Shruti has one after having had sex with Bittoo. {{Spoiler|Bittoo, in turn, has his after being confronted by Shruti for being way too concerned about her choice of future husband and the fact she is marrying in the first place.}}
* [[OOC Is Serious Business]]: Shruti acting like a devoted housewife preparing and bringing chai to Bittoo after their night together, when until that time she merely drunk the one he prepared by both staff and clients and was the one who insisted into not mixing love and business, scares him enough to gets into just drinking the awful concoction and silently plan how to tell her "[It Doesn't Mean Anything|That night together was a fluke]], [[I Don't Want to Ruin Our Friendship|let's stay merrily friends]]". In turn, Shruti realizing that Bittoo, who usually pointed out very vocally whenever she did anything wrong, silently drank the awful tea she made day after day, clues her that something is going terribly wrong between them.
* [[Opposites Attract]]: Bitto is outgoing, carefree, adaptable, and (at the beggining) a bit aimless; Shruti is driven, strict, detail-oriented and quite ambitious. They complement each other fabulously to make ''Shaadi Mubarak'' a success. They, however, are more [[Birds of a Feather|similarly minded]] than they first realize.
