Set in a small town in Uttar Pradesh, 'Kya Meri Sonam Gupta Bewafa Hai' is about a young man, Sintoo who falls in love with Sonam Gupta, the town's heartbeat and a girl way out of his league. The story unfolds when Sonam reciprocates his feelings, leaving Sintoo all the more confused. What happens after is a series of comedy of errors where a line written on a note goes viral and starts a chain of events. Whether the movie has a happy ending or not is to be found out.

Manish Kalra, Chief Business Officer, ZEE5 India says, "There is a story waiting to be told in every nook and corner and we are glad to be picking on these stories and presenting it to a larger audience. 'Kya Meri Sonam Gupta Bewafa Hai' is based on a true incident but it picks up from there and completes the narrative. We are sure that people are curious to know why something written on a currency note was trending and we thought it would be interesting to tell a fictionalized story based on this viral incident. This movie is romantic, funny, witty and has a message. It is a complete package, and we are excited for the premiere`.
