===Story 1: Rahul & Kamini===
Born in Dehradun, temperamental and ambitious Kamna changes her name to Kamini Ranawat ([[Priyanka Chopra]]), hires Babu ([[Tinnu Anand]]) as her manager, and becomes one of the most sought-after heroines in Bollywood. As a publicity stunt to change her image from item queen and to get the attention of filmmaker [[Karan Johar]], she says that she is in love with a man named Rahul. In London, a man saying that he is [[Rahul Khanna]] ([[Salman Khan]]) poses as her childhood sweetheart and future husband. Kamna has to play along or she will not get the film deal she was looking for with Johar.This results in a dilemma for her as Rahul reveals that he loved her back when she was Kamna, and she has to choose between her career and Rahul. Kamna initially chooses her career but soon realizes that she is in love with Rahul when she cannot stop thinking about him. Kamna turns down Johar's movie offer and hunts down Rahul at Gia Bakshi ([[Ayesha Takia]]) and Shiven Dungarpur's ([[Akshaye Khanna]]) wedding, where she proposes to him.

===Story 2: Gia & Shiven===
Gia([[Ayesha Takia]]) lives with her father Col. Bakshi ([[Prem Chopra]]) and is in love with Shiven([[Akshaye Khanna]]). Both are to get married shortly, but Shiven starts to get cold feet thanks to a few misleading words about marriage from his friend Juggy ([[Vishal Malhotra]]). He decides to disappear from her life, leaving Bakshi no alternative but to arrange Gia's marriage with Rohit Chhada ([[Kushal Punjabi]]). However, Shiven remains heartbroken and cannot stop thinking about Gia. While driving one day, he accidentally hits Tehzeeb Hussain ([[Vidya Balan]]), who is walking on the road, and helps her reunite with Ashutosh Raina ([[John Abraham (actor)|John Abraham]]). As he sees the pair reunite, he realizes that he cannot let Gia go. He rushes to her wedding with Rohit and stops the wedding, professing his love for Gia. Shiven and Gia get married.

===Story 3: Seema & Vinay===
Gia's sister Seema ([[Juhi Chawla]]), who lives in Britain, has been married to Vinay Malhotra ([[Anil Kapoor]]) for 15 years, and they have two children. Vinay sees his life as boring and dull until a woman named Anjali ([[Anjana Sukhani]]) comes into his life. The two start to meet and begin an affair, but while preparing to travel to India for Gia's marriage, Seema finds out about Vinay's affair, leaving her heartbroken. Vinay is left to choose between Seema and Anjali. He chooses Seema and runs to the airport as she is leaving for India with their children. Vinay apologizes to Seema, and the couple reunites.

===Story 4: Ashutosh & Tehzeeb===
Ashutosh ([[John Abraham]]) is a Hindu but falls in love and marries Tehzeeb ([[Vidya Balan]]), who is Muslim, much to the chagrin of his father ([[Anang Desai]]), who will not have anything to do with him. Tehzeeb is a TV news reporter; while travelling on an inaugural train route, the train derails. Tehzeeb survives but loses her memory and is unable to recall who Ashutosh is – and may end up leaving him and returning to her parents' home. Ashutosh takes Tehzeeb to his parents' house where they first met so that Tehzeeb can restore her memories, but he must deal with his father in order to help her. Tehzeeb is overwhelmed and runs away. She is accidentally hit by Shiven's car. Shiven calls Ashutosh, and they bring Tehzeeb to Shiven's house to rest. When Tehzeeb wakes up, she wants to leave Ashutosh and go to her family's house because she is tired of seeing him sad when she is unable to remember who he is. Ashutosh tells her that even if she cannot remember their past, the couple can form new memories together. He also tells her that without her, he has no present or future and that whatever the future brings, the couple will be able to face together. Tehzeeb and Ashutosh then reunite and resume their life together. A few years later, they are back to being the loving couple that they were before Tehzeeb's accident.

===Story 5: Raju & Stephanie===
Raju ([[Govinda (actor)|Govinda]]) is a taxi driver who comes to the assistance of a white woman Stephanie ([[Shannon Esra]]), who is frantically trying to hunt down her lover Rohit. While Raju drives her around all of Northern India searching for Rohit, he falls in love with her and drops her off to the venue where Rohit is getting ready to marry Gia. However, it turns out that Rohit does not want to marry Stephanie because he wants to marry an Indian girl and tells her to get lost. Raju slaps Rohit across the face and confesses his love for Stephanie. Stephanie confesses her love for Raju, and the couple unites.

===Story 6: Ramdayal & Phoolwati===
Ramdayal ([[Sohail Khan]]) weds attractive Phoolwati ([[Isha Koppikar]]) and would like to spend some intimate moments with her, but comical circumstances prevent him from doing so. On the day they get married, Ram accidentally sets the room on fire, thus ruining his and Phoolwati's first night. One night, Ram gets kicked out of a brothel when five kids see him kissing Phoolwati. Ram and Phoolwati hid in a car but got injured when the car crashes into a house.
