One day, he meets the beautiful and vivacious Varsha ([[Manisha Koirala]]), whom he tries to woo, become friends with her and after a while, proposes marriage to her, to which she eventually agrees. The couple gets engaged and goes on a small holiday. However, Varsha’s beautiful dream comes to a shocking end when Shravan tells her that his love for her was just a drama to get engaged so he could sleep with her.

Heartbroken and shattered, Varsha’s whole world collapses around her. She leaves the country and goes as far away as possible from Shravan, and begins to start a new life with a new name of Payal. Shravan returns to his home and says things did not go well with Varsha.

After the incident, years pass by into a decade and then Payal meets a man named Karan ([[Ajay Devgn]]) a young artist, who begins to follow her, and explains she is the woman he sees in his dreams, they fall in love. Payal agrees and they begin wedding preparations.

Everything is going well, and the whole village is invited to the wedding. Little does Payal know that "Shravan" is the brother of Karan. During the ceremony week, prior to the wedding, Payal's world turns upside down as she sees Shravan and Shravan notices her.

Word gets around and spreads like wildfire and then Karan, who then finds out the truth that was hidden from him by Payal, becomes dismayed and attempts suicide. At this point, Shravan comes to Karan and explains to him that it was all his fault, as he had played with Payal/Varsha's life a long time ago.
