Namastey London revolves around Jasmeet (Katrina), a young woman born in India and raised in the UK. She loves to party, dress fashionably, and drink the night away. When she informs her parents (Rishi Kapoor and Nina Wadia) that she intends to marry a white man, they take her to India to find her a traditional groom. Enter Akshay Kumar’s Arjun Singh, who instantly falls for Jasmeet. He manages to marry her but is deceived by her upon returning to the UK.
