It begins with Rajesh taking a walk with his wife and dog in a park when he asks them to go ahead, promising to join them later. He then turns his attention to another woman working out in the park. On being caught by her while staring at her, he immediately starts doing pushups to avert her attention. He is soon joined by his wife and dog who look impressed on seeing him working out so passionately.
