Bitti is initially shocked at the ruffian-like behaviour of Vidrohi (a ruse, intended as part of Chirag's plan), having imagined him in different light from having read his letters. He goes to Lucknow and brings back his friend, Pritam Vidrohi, who had left town soon after the novel had been published. Unwilling to do away with the charade just yet, he arranges for Bitti to meet the real Vidrohi. Since Bitti thinks herself to be Barfi, Chirag intends to find out if she is indeed like his ex-girlfriend, a coincidence that might give him a second chance at love.īitti and Chirag become close friends but she still longs to meet the author Vidrohi, who has been sending replies to her letters. 'Vidrohi' is the name of a friend, used by Chirag as an alias to publish his novel. He agrees to be a messenger for Bitti, delivering her letters to Vidrohi and bringing back his replies.īitti, however, is unaware of the fact that Chirag is the book's original author, having written it five years ago after his then girlfriend Babli (the Barfi of the novel) married someone else. She returns home and decides to track down the author, mentioned on the back cover as one 'Pritam Vidrohi.' The bookshop owner directs her to Chirag Dubey, a young man in ownership of a printing press where the book was published, who informs her that Vidrohi does not live in town anymore. While waiting for a train, she buys and reads a book, Bareilly Ki Barfi, and realizes to her shock that she is Barfi, the eponymous main character. Bitti Mishra, a tomboyish girl in Bareilly, runs away from home after yet another failed attempt at arranged marriage.
