The trailer depicts the earlier aspects of Tarla’s life. In the beginning, viewers can see the introduction of Sharib Hashmi as her soon-to-be husband. As his character, Nalin Dalal states in the trailer, “I have always believed that the emotions of the chef often make it into the food they cook,” Tarla ends up making extremely spicy food to show her disapproval.

Tarla’s nature is shown to be highly inquisitive, as she asks questions such as ‘Why is chapati round when paratha can take any shape?’ Her personal life is also shown in larger detail with her husband and family. Notably, Tarla says that she wants to do something in life, but can’t quite answer what that something is. 

While Tarla is shown to be interested in cooking, she only cooks non-professionally. However, she turns professional cook upon realising that’s what she loves doing. While she starts off with cooking classes, she eventually becomes the face of television shows. See the trailer below.
