Pushpavalli (2017 - 2020)

Smitten after a chance encounter with the charming Nikhil Rao at a food conference, Pushpavalli Parasuraman moves from Bhopal to Bangalore to pursue him. Now desperate to figure out his whereabouts, Pushpavalli tries bribing a local chaiwalla with stolen data from her workplace in an attempt to to find Nikhil.

Vasu agrees to let Pushpavalli cook breakfast for the PG after not being able to pay her deposit. Pankaj has a date with a girl he met at a cycling group. Pushpavalli finds out about a wine tasting event that Nikhil is attending. Not wanting to go alone, Pushpavalli tries sabotaging Pankaj’s date plans in the hope that he will then accompany her.

Pushpavalli is coerced into meeting her mother’s Guruji who has made a trip to Bangalore. She bumps into Nikhil at the Guruji’s Ashram and is still embarrassed after their last meeting. Meanwhile at the library, Pankaj who now thinks Nikhil is the one stalking Pushpavalli, thinks she might be in danger.

Pushpavalli still has strong feelings for Nikhil but isn’t sure what he thinks. She decides to take him to a stand up comedy show where she hopes that a comedian will tease them as a couple and elicit a response from Nikhil. At the library, Pushpavalli receives a special package from her mother.

With all their cycles synchronized, it’s that time of the month for everyone at the PG. As a result, Pushpavalli has exiled herself from the PG kitchen, much to Vasu’s annoyance. Pushpavalli learns that Nikhil and Swati know each other. After hearing that Nikhil’s mother is unwell, Pushpavalli decides to use it as an excuse to turn up at his house.

Vasu is furious at the girls after she finds someone has ‘done kaka’ on the terrace. Nikhil tells Pushpavalli that Dukie is missing. After helping search for his dog, Pushpavalli begins to panic when Nikhil tells her that Dukie is diabetic and hasn’t eaten since the previous day. At the library, Pankaj is greeted by a large German Shepherd.

After getting fired from the children’s library and having Swati take credit for finding Dukie, Pushpavalli makes a last ditch attempt to get Nikhil’s attention: Breaking her leg. After all, Nikhil did help Swati’s son Arhaan when he broke his leg. Things don’t quite go according to plan and Pushpavalli goes further past the point of no return.
