This story is about tragic love which begins in tragedy and ends in tragedy.

Anand (Ajay Devgn) lives happily with his wife Kavita (Mahima Chaudhry) and Neha, whom the couple adopted because Kavita suffered a miscarriage. Kavita is good friends with Som Datt (Chandrachur Singh), whose love for her has remained unrequited since their college days.

A lady starts stalking Neha and meets her up daily at school. After some time, she befriends Neha and Neha starts calling her "sweet Aunty" and introduces her to her mother Kavita, who invites her home.

The stranger introduces herself as "Nandita" (Kajol) and requests to spend more time with Neha. So Kavita lets her stay in their home as a guest for some time. However, deeply buried secrets threaten to surface when Nandita and Anand come face-to-face as it is revealed that they are the biological parents of Neha.

Their short-lived tragic history is revealed: Anand and Nandita were traveling by train when thugs took over and tried to rape/kill Nandita. Anand saved Nandita's life and the two became attracted and made love. They did not meet after this night.

However, Kavita finds out the truth and is disgusted with Anand and Nandita. Kavita leaves her home in the middle of the night with Somu. Feeling betrayed, Kavita is contemplating leaving Anand forever. In the meantime, Anand and Nandita enjoy a fun day out with Neha at her insistence. After a spat at Somu's house, Kavita finally realises her husband's true nature and files for divorce.
