Kya Yehi Pyaar Hai

Rahul Tiwari (Aftab Shivdasani) is in love with Sandhya Patil (Amisha Patel) - and has been for the last four years without having the courage to tell her. He follows her everywhere, even waiting to board the public bus until she has. Sandhya is not even aware of Rahul, let alone his affection for her. One day, Rahul finds out where Sandhya lives, along with the fact that her father is Police Inspector Raj Patil "Raja" (Ashish Vidyarthi), a cruel, sadistic, drunk, and abusive man whose wife Rachna (Neena Kulkarni) and daughter live in fear, even in his absence. Raj Patil has no respect for any human being, regardless of them being his superiors, his subordinates, or even members of the public whom he has sworn to protect. When Raj finds out that Rahul is trying to enter the life of his daughter, he arrests him publicly, beats him up, and locks him in a cell in his police station. Rahul's older brother, Dr. Kamlakar Tiwari (Jackie Shroff), arranges to get him out of jail with the help of Rahul's friends. Kamlakar hopes that this situation will have taught Rahul a lesson. However, it is of no avail as Rahul continues obsessing over Sandhya regardless of her indifference. Indeed, Sandhya has made it clear to Rahul and his college friend, Neha, that she is only interested in pursuing her education and not interested in him at all. Fearing Rahul's next move, Raj tells his wife and daughter that they are to leave the city immediately and move to Hyderabad, where his older sister resides, only to change his mind on the bus. Not being aware of this change of plan, Rahul heads to Hyderabad to seek Sandhya. Kamlakar, who is in the hospital, tries to save a young man who has consumed poison but fails, the man's friend tells Kamlakar he committed suicide because the girl he loved rejected him. Fearing that Rahul would do the same thing as that young man, a distracted Kamlakar dies in a car accident. Rahul eventually rushes home upon finding out about his older brother's death, only to see that he has just missed Kamlakar's cremation which was performed by his friend Peter. Distraught, Rahul realizes that he has sacrificed four years of his life as well as his brother on one-sided feelings. Sandhya is confronted by Rahul's friend Neha who makes her realize Rahul love for her and she later meets Rahul and tells him she loves him. However, a now mature and responsible Rahul rejects her so that both of them can focus on their future and tells her that he lost everything because of falling in love and could not even do his brother's last rites; therefore, it is not worth it. Nevertheless, the following day, Sandhya is seen standing at the bus stop, waiting for Rahul to come. Meanwhile, Rahul takes the recommendation that Kamlakar had written for him before his death and goes for his first job interview, with the support of his friends.
