Priya ([[Manisha Koirala]]), a music teacher for children, is engaged to Raj ([[Anil Kapoor]]), She has agreed to marry him because he helped her when she was in need. Priya and Dev meet on a cruise. Dev becomes fond of Priya. He is a fun-loving, flamboyant Casanova. He tries to get close to her. Initially unimpressed, she later falls in love with him. However, as they were both already engaged to other people, they agreed to sort things out and meet on Valentine's Day in six months' time to get married.

Over the next six months, Dev calls off his engagement to Anita and starts working hard. Driven by his love for her, he creates and auctions off beautiful paintings, becoming very successful with the support of his friend Natu ([[Neeraj Vora]]). Meanwhile, Priya realises that leaving Raj would be wrong, and sadly writes a letter to Dev explaining everything. However, Raj receives the letter instead and supports Priya, convincing her to go to Dev. However, things take a turn for the worse when Priya is hit by a car on her way to meet Dev and has to have her legs amputated. Dev, who has been waiting all night for Priya, believes that she has rejected him because he does not know about the accident. Priya forbids Raj from telling Dev the truth, not wanting to become a burden to him. Now, Priya runs a music academy for young children.

Although heartbroken, Dev continues his career as a painter and goes on to become famous. One day, Priya attends one of his art exhibitions and wishes to buy a painting, a sentimental picture of her speaking to his beloved grandmother, whom Dev had introduced her to during the cruise. Dev said that he wouldn't sell the painting because it was intended for Priya. However, upon hearing that the girl who wanted it understood the emotion behind the picture and was disabled, he told the exhibition host to give the painting to her for free.

One day, he meets Priya and Raj at a theatre gathering, but Priya again forbids Raj from telling the truth. He visits Priya to give her an anklet that his recently deceased grandmother had wanted her to have when she became Dev's bride. Initially unaware of Priya's condition, Dev realises the truth when he remembers giving the painting to a disabled girl, only to find the same painting in another room. The two embrace tearfully, and Dev assures Priya that he will love her no matter what.
