Summary of Love for Hire
Arnav breaks up with his girlfriend Lavanya, but she breaks-down and starts to get hysterical over not getting to see her again. So, feeling pity on her, Arnav agrees to remain friends. But, Lavanya does not stop following Arnav. She keeps on coming to his office, and stalking him to other places, annoying the hell out of him. Finally tired of her, Arnav puts an ad on a flyer, titled "Love for Hire".
Khushi answers that ad, and gets the job of being his 'pretend-girlfriend' and get rid of Lavanya, as well as his Personal Asistant. Seeing Khushi in office everyday, and spending more and more time with her, makes Arnav fall in love with her, despite being annoyed with her and her talkativeness in the beginning.
During a holiday trip to Goa, with Arnav and the other Board-of-Directors, who also happen to be Arnav's close friends, Arnav and Khushi come closer to each other. Arnav starts to feel jealous when Khushi comes closer to another young, single guy, Nandkishore (NK). In his jealousy, Arnav realizes and confesses his love for Khushi. He kisses her just as the clock strikes midnight and New Year rolls in.
Khushi at first responds, then realizes what she is doing and pulls back, slapping Arnav. She then reveals that she is already engaged to be married. Arnav is sad, but decides to put on a front so that he doesn't come in between Khushi's happiness. Both Arnav and Khushi decide to put the 'Goa Incident' behind them.
Meanwhile, Arnav's brother Akash, and Khushi's sister Payal also meet each other and fall in love. During the Goa trip, Akash and Payal come really close, and Akash even proposes marriage to her. After coming back to Delhi from Goa, preparations for Akash and Payal's wedding starts in full-swing.
On the morning of the wedding though, Arnav comes to the Gupta's residence to give them Akash's 'haldi ka paani', and sees Khushi's fiance who turns out to be his brother-in-law Shyam. The cunning Shyam spots Arnav as well, and twists the story around such that it makes Khushi seem the guilty and cunning one, and Shyam himself the innocent.
The story then takes a leap, with Arnav and Khushi getting married. They do consummate their marriage, but Arnav doesn't remember that. Shyam, taking advantage of this, tells Arnav that the baby is his - when in reality it is Arnav's. More misunderstandings crop up between Arnav and Khushi, due to which she decides to leave the Shantivan.
When Anjali (Arnav's sister) is in the last month of her pregnancy, Khushi comes to Shantivan during the day, when Arnav is at office, so that she can spend some time with Anjali and the rest. One day, Anjali goes into labor, and so does Khushi. Anjali delivers her baby boy safely, but Khushi loses one of her twins - her baby boy was stillborn, but the baby girl was safe.
Since Khushi had a premature delivery, she and her baby girl stay in the hospital for a few days more, until the girl becomes healthy.
