Meet The NEAL...

He is Neal, he's the man. Rockstar, superstar! Or so he would have you believe! Neal (short for Gurneal Ahluwalia) is a bundle of contradictions. He can be endearing... and irritating at the same time. He appears to be cool, but he can be quite goofy. He says a lot and a lot of the time, forgets what he really intended to say! But all things said and done, Neal is a big hit with the girls. And if there is one thing he does well, it is charming his way into a girl's heart and..... uh! Ahem!! Never mind...

Neal's family lives in the farmlands of a small town called Oliver. His parents migrated from Punjab. Originally a farmer, Baldev Ahluwalia (Neal's father) has moved from breeding chanaa's to ghoda's!! It's a perfect family - Baldev looks after horses, Dolly (his wife) looks after him and Neal looks after himself making sure that he never runs out of girlfriends. Dolly feels that there is one missing link in the family... a daughter-in-law. Alarmed at the prospect of marrying any of the girls that HE has dated, Neal gives into his parents' wishes of marrying a girl called Sweetie from Bhatinda. A girl he hasn't seen or met, but that is Neal for you. His logic? Looking at his track record of girlfriends, chances are that Sweetie is probably his best shot at getting a good wife!!

Neal has just one pre condition to getting married. He wants to live it up one last time and wants to go to Vancouver on a 21 day bachelor vacation. Neal's logic? A big city gives him a chance at scoring with more women. More power to Neal !!!

So Who's NIKKI?

Sweet, sexy, stylish and sizzling. Nikki (a.k.a. Nikita) Bakshi is today's girl. She knows what she wants... or so she thinks. She speaks her mind... and then some more!! Though she comes from a modern Punjabi family, Nikki has lead a protected life and is now trying to discover whether she can live on her own. This has led her to move to Vancouver.

Ever since she has graduated, Nikki has become - for lack of a better term! - a serial job quitter. From supermarkets to restaurants to parking lots, Nikki is the queen of taking on odd jobs. And leaving them at will !!

Impulsive and impetuous, Nikki is running away from nothing in particular and running towards nothing in particular. Her life is one big party, till she meets NEAL !
