Disney+ Hotstar is on a spree, releasing many shows in various languages. It was delightful to watch a global platform such as this one finally give space to South Indian states to work on shows that highlight their language and culture. Miss Perfect is a slice-of-life romantic comedy about a cleanliness-obsessed woman who runs into people who might or might not understand her quirky little habit. The show was a delightful watch, as many were willing to accept the leading lady for who she is. It is the journey to understand her that makes up Miss Perfect.
Spoilers Ahead
Why Was Lavanya In Hyderabad?
Lavanya Rao was working in Delhi, and she was suffering from an excessive need to clean every space she entered. Her therapy session did not go as planned because she never felt simple habits could be a cause of concern for anybody. She eventually moved to Hyderabad after learning of her ex’s engagement, and hoped to start afresh in her hometown. Her friend Indu believed she would not be able to adjust to a new city because she disliked new environments. She took it as a challenge and made a giant leap of faith. She was close to her father, Gokul Rao, who was seemingly in Mumbai, and she kept him updated about her life.
Who Was Jyoti?
Jyoti was the maid hired by Lavanya for cooking. Lavanya took sole responsibility for the cleaning of her apartment. Jyoti was also working at Rohit’s home, another resident inside the complex, and that’s the only house she had to clean. Lavanya’s apartment had a telescope through which she could peek into any neighbor’s house, and that included Rohit’s as well. A few days into joining their new place of work, both Jyoti and Lavanya witness the announcement of the nationwide lockdown due to a surge in COVID cases. Initially, Lavanya was happy with the announcement, as she could spend days cleaning the house without any fear of judgment.
How Did Lavanya End Up Working At Rohit’s Home?
Jyoti could not come to work, claiming to be sick, and she requested that Lavanya inform Rohit about the same with a set of specific information. Lavanya reached his doorstep, only for Rohit to confuse her for a replacement for Jyoti before asking her to clean the house. Lavanya was horrified at seeing the dilapidated state of the house and took it upon herself to clean the place. Rohit was happy with her work, but Lavanya understood the gravity of her impulse to clean the home of a stranger instead of coming clean about her identity and not informing him about herself.
Jyoti was unable to come to work again the next day, which forced Lavanya to inform Rohit about it. This also gave her the chance to clean his home again. Rohit eventually hires Lavanya, who introduces herself as Lakshmi. Rohit and Lavanya worked for the same firm but in two different departments and were yet to meet each other in that capacity thanks to the COVID lockdown. Since Jyoti was not around to cook food, Rohit prepared food for Lavanya, and it became a daily routine for him going forward.
Was Jyoti In A Financially Dire Situation?
Jyoti was constantly being harassed by a money lender. Since she was barely making enough money for herself and her brother Kartik, it was difficult for her to accumulate enough cash to pay him back. The siblings were in dire need of money, and Kartik was barely making anything off of his YouTube career. It was only Jyoti who was working hard and concerned about the debt. To her disappointment, Rohit fired her and conveniently refused to share anything about him hiring Lakshmi or Lavanya in her place. Jyoti was also passionate about singing and was constantly auditioning for her reality shows, but with no luck. Kartik recorded her impromptu singing session and uploaded the same to his YouTube channel. Both quickly realized they needed money to sustain themselves.
What Was The Task Assigned To Jyoti And Her Brother, Kartik?
Rohit’s mother was concerned about his disinterest in getting married. Rohit’s mother was under the impression her son was in a relationship with someone and wanted to confirm her doubts. Rohit’s mother hired Jyoti and Kartik to find dirt on him. Kartik and she hire the security guard, Sreenu, to find details on his whereabouts.
Rohit’s mother offered the siblings a handsome amount for any information confirming her doubts. As they began following Rohit, the trio came across the mention of a woman he liked, and how he planned to cook her her favorite dish. Even though the mother was informed about this detail, she offered more money to find out further details about the woman. Jyoti also finds out Rohit was in love with his maid, Lakshmi, and she begins to seek more information about the woman, whom she believes stole her job.
Did Lavanya Enjoy Working At Rohit’s Home?
Lavanya Was Not Keen On Working At Rohit’s home, but soon he began offering her food and kept asking about her preferences, which impressed her immensely. Rohit was slowly falling in love with Lakshmi and her ability to keep his home extremely clean. Rohit considered Lakshmi to be very pretty and was planning to marry her without worrying about how his family might take the news. He eventually confessed his love for her. On learning they both worked for the same company, she asked him not to pursue her, and told him she would be discontinuing her work at his place. Lavanya knew Rohit loved her, who had figured out her other identity as Lakshmi. Lavanya was initially happy to hear that Rohit was fond of her.
Were Gokul And Rajyalakshmi In Love?
Gokul Rao was Lavanya’s father, and he was stuck at Rajyalakshmi’s home because both had been in love for a while, and he could not fly back to Mumbai because of the COVID lockdown. Rajyalakshmi was the association president, and to avoid a scene, Gokul and herself kept the relationship secret as well as the fact that he was living with her. Gokul and Rajyalakshmi have known each other since the day she moved into this complex and slowly fell in love. They were worried if society in general and Lavanya would accept their relationship. As they spent weeks together at home, they only grew closer as a couple, certain about their future. Gokul eventually revealed the news to Lavanya, who did not take it well. Lavanya soon apologized for her insensitive behavior and accepted Rajyalakshmi and her father’s relationship. The couple were glad to have received Lavanya’s blessing, and they could proudly come out in the open as two people in love and living together.
How Did Lavanya End The Confusion?
Rohit and Tara met through an arranged marriage setup. Lakshmi had turned down his proposal, which is why he considered getting engaged to Tara, the woman he met through his mother. Rohit still had feelings for Lakshmi, but he chose to move on because he could not possibly force her to be a part of his life and he wasn’t aware of her whereabouts much. Lakshmi was Lavanya, and during Rohit’s performance interview, she refused to turn on the camera to talk about his work ethic. Rohit had spoken to Lakshmi about wanting to invest in cooking a while back instead of remaining a regular salaried person.
Lavanya was forced to confront Rohit at Jyoti’s behest, who felt both needed to clear the air before the feelings were shared. Lavanya helped Jyoti by clearing her debt and encouraging her to pursue her passion for singing. Jyoti owed it to Lavanya and helped her confess her fondness for the man she had been avoiding. Lavanya and Jyoti’s visit was at the wrong time, as Rohit’s engagement dates were being fixed. Everyone becomes a part of the conversation, including Kartik, Sreenu, Lavanya, Lakshmi, and Rohit’s colleague. Kartik cleared the air while Rohit’s colleague recognized Lavanya as the person who fired Rohit from his job. This confusion was the culmination of all the stories, and this was bound to happen as no one had been truthful right from the start. Rohit was livid at Lavanya, and rightly so because she never tried to confess her truth.
Do Rohit And Lavanya Confess Their Love For Each Other?
Rohit turned out to be the only person who wasn’t aware of what was happening around him, and he felt like a fool for a moment. Lavanya felt guilty for putting up a charade for as long as she could and remaining quiet about her real identity. She was in love with Rohit as well, which made her come close to revealing the truth, but the fact that they worked for the same company threw her off.
Lavanya had heard him talk passionately about wanting to start a food business, which was the reason behind his firing—a push that was required to get him out of his comfort zone. Rohit confronted Lavanya about his firing and the fact that she lied and remained vague about her details while working for him as a maid. Rohit felt betrayed and taken for granted, even though Lavanya tried to pacify the matter by being considerate about his passion for food. Lavanya was in love with him as well, which is why she took it upon herself to fire him.
They briefly met again, but this time the tone of the conversation was mild after their last face-off. Rohit changed his mind because he was willing to have a partner who was not as clumsy and unkempt as he was, and on the other hand, she was willing to have someone who could cook for her. Rohit came around and understood he needed a partner who could take care of the deeds he was not good at. On the other hand, Lavanya was not good at cooking, and Rohit would be the right partner who could spend as much time in the kitchen. They portrayed a modern couple who were willing to share the chores at home while busy working. The show began with Lavanya wanting to oversee cleaning her respective home and Rohit, who loved cooking. They seemed to have found each other weirdly and finally confessed to loving each other despite their strong points and flaws.
