Plot
[edit]
Rahul Khanna and the tomboyish Anjali Sharma are best friends in their college. Unknown to him, Anjali is secretly in love with him. When Tina Malhotra, the attractive daughter of the college principal, enrolls in the college, Rahul is immediately smitten. Anjali is heartbroken and returns to her hometown to be with her family, leaving Rahul for a long time. Rahul and Tina become a couple and eventually get married.
Tina is pregnant with Rahul's daughter but has complications that lead to her bleeding internally. Knowing she will not survive, she writes letters for her newborn daughter, for her to read as she grows up. Tina passes away, and Rahul names his daughter Anjali Khanna. Eight years later, when Anjali Khanna grows up, she reads in Tina's letter that Rahul knew another Anjali from college, who Tina believes is Rahul's soulmate and she had realized that Anjali loved Rahul. Anjali Khanna sets about reuniting the two to fulfil her mother's final wish, as stated in her letter.
Anjali Sharma, now a traditional feminine woman, is engaged to Aman, but leaves for a month before her wedding, to conduct a dance workshop in Shimla. Anjali Khanna enrolls in the same camp, being supported by her grandmother, and Rahul ends up meeting Anjali Sharma when he shows up to see his daughter. Having not spoken in years, the two are formal around each other, but soon bond together when Anjali Khanna tries to stage a drama between the two. Rahul realizes he is falling in love with Anjali this time but does not reveal it after he finds out she is engaged. Anjali returns home for her wedding with Aman, midway through the dance camp.
On the day of the wedding, Rahul and Anjali Khanna arrive at the Sharma house for the ceremonies. Anjali Khanna goes missing (she is going to Aman to talk him out of marrying Anjali Sharma), and Rahul goes in search of her. He ends up coming across Anjali Sharma and tells her he loves her. During the ceremony, Anjali cannot bring herself to continue with the rituals. Aman realizes what is happening and calls off the wedding. Having heard from Anjali Khanna that Rahul was his fiancé's first love, he advises Anjali to marry Rahul instead. Finally, Anjali and Rahul get married in the same ceremony, with Aman and Rahul's family in attendance, and Anjali Khanna is thrilled that she fulfilled her mother's final wish.
