She meets Captain Karan Khanna (Abhishek Bachchan), an army officer who rescues her from some attackers. Karan accompanies Sahiba to her family estate, where he is mistaken for her husband and welcomed by the family, except her angry father Yogi (Amrish Puri).
As Karan gets drawn into the family’s warmth, he realizes that Sahiba has fallen for him, even though he is in love with another girl named Nisha back home. Karan leaves Sahiba, only to find out that Nisha has married someone else. Meanwhile, Sahiba is forced into an engagement with Vicky (Akshay Anand), the son of a family friend, who turns out to be a murderer. In the climax, Karan returns to save Sahiba and defeat the villains.
