==Synopsis==
== Plot ==
Roop Singh Rathore  is a singer in Rajasthan just like his father, Shambunath Singh Rathod. Shambunath falls sick and needs immediate medical care in [[Mumbai|Bombay]]. Roop and his father immediately transfer to Bombay, where Roop finds work in a hotel owned by Ajay Narang. One day, while he is singing at Ajay Narang's hotel, Ajay's sister Reshma falls in love with Roop. Reshma is a spoiled girl and Ajay sees through all of her wishes. Unfortunately, Roop is in love with a nurse who works at the hospital his father is being treated at named Pooja. Meanwhile, Reshma becomes obsessed with Roop, and asks her brother to call him again to sing in their hotel. But when she sees that all the girls are flattered over Roop, she gets very jealous and asks him to sing only for her now from then onwards. However, Roop prefers to work for Ajay's rival, Patel, rather than take Reshma's offer. Ajay's obsession with keeping his sister happy at all costs comes into play and Patel is brutally beaten by him until he agrees to throw Roop out of his hotel. Desperately in need of money for his father's operation, Roop has no option but to work for Reshma and Ajay. Reshma slowly becomes creepily obsessed towards Roop, treating anyone that stands in the way of her love towards him. To protect her and his family, Roop decides it is best to break up with Pooja, despite her efforts to console him.

Roop Singh Rathore is a singer in Rajasthan just like his father, Shambunath Singh Rathod. Shambunath falls sick and needs immediate medical care in Bombay. Roop and his father immediately transfer to Bombay, where Roop finds work in a hotel owned by Ajay Narang. One day, while he is singing at Ajay Narang's hotel, Ajay's sister Reshma falls in love with Roop. Reshma is a spoiled girl and Ajay sees through all of her wishes. Unfortunately, Roop is in love with a nurse who works at the hospital his father is being treated at named Pooja. Meanwhile, Reshma becomes obsessed with Roop, and asks her brother to call him again to sing in their hotel. But when she sees that all the girls are flattered over Roop, she gets very jealous and asks him to sing only for her now from then onwards. However, Roop prefers to work for Ajay's rival, Patel, rather than take Reshma's offer. Ajay's obsession with keeping his sister happy at all costs comes into play and Patel is brutally beaten by him until he agrees to throw Roop out of his hotel. Desperately in need of money for his father's operation, Roop has no option but to work for Reshma and Ajay. Reshma slowly becomes creepily obsessed towards Roop, treating anyone that stands in the way of her love towards him. To protect her and his family, Roop decides it is best to break up with Pooja, despite her efforts to console him.
