Nandini (Aishwarya Rai) is the daughter of Pundit Mahaveer Darbar (Vikram Gokhale), a renowned proponent of Indian classical music. It is announced that a young man named Sameer Rosselline (Salman Khan) will be arriving to stay with the Darbar family (Including the Grandmother (Zohra Sehgal), mother Amritaa (Smita Jaykar), brother Tarun (Vinay Pathak), brother Bhairaon (Kenny Desai) (his wife Pushpa), youngest brother Nilesh, sister Shilpa (Dimple Inamdar). Mahaveer's sister Kamna (Rekha Rao)), as he wants to grasp the intricacies of Indian classical music under the guidance of the Pundit. He is accommodated in Nandini's room, causing her to take a dislike to Sameer. Sameer speaks to his dead father via sounds of thunder in the atmosphere. His father warns him against going to this place to learn music. Sameer cannot understand why and is determined to learn from Mahaveer. Mahaveer wont take a fee for his teachings. But he reserves the right to ask for a Gurudakshina at any time in the future. Sameer has a jovial nature and befriends everyone in the house with his antics, except Nandini. At first the two tease and prank one another (Nandini teaches Sameer a prank Namaskar to make a fool out of him in front of Mahaveer. Sameer farts when he thinks he is alone, but Nandini sees this). Sameer tells Nandini that soon her love will take her to Italy (he reads her feet as a form of reading the future). They become friends and start spending even more time together in front of the entire family (in events, games, picnics etc). Nandini teaches Sameer the various Gujrati dance forms and they also play the game of statue. But soon enough they fall deeply in love. The two spend romantic moments during several family events, including weddings and festivals. Nandini's cousin Anu is getting married. Unknown to anyone in the family Anu had a boyfriend, but Anu pushes her away as he waited for too long and now she has been promised to someone else and she cannot go against the honor of her family. Nandini and Sameer flirt a lot during the wedding. Nandini slaps Sameer for frolicking with her publicly during the wedding. Due to this Sameer locks himself up in his room. Vanraj (son of advocate Vikramjeet (Rajeev Varma)) arrives at the wedding and falls in love with Nandini when she performs a dance for all the guests. Vanraj sends a marriage proposal to Nandini and the process is on. Nandini is worried that Sameer is involved in fun and games while Mahaveer and Amritaa are planning her wedding to Vanraj. Kamna finds out about the affair between Sameer and Nandini. Kamna hates Nandini and she is disrespectful towards her. Meanwhile Anu comes back after fighting with her in-laws. Bhairaon and Mahaveer rule that Anu has to go back to her husband's house, no matter what. Nandini stands up for Anu and says that she does not love her husband and should not be forced to return. But Mahaveer is adamant and tells Nandini not to interfere. Nandini and Sameer help Anu run away with her lover, but Kamna sees this. Bhairaon goes berserk and blames Mahaveer for this calamity. Mahaveer blames Bhairaon for not giving the right values to Anu. But Kamna interjects and tells Mahaveer that even Nandini is having an affair, so Mahaveer should not question others. The pair are caught rehearsing their wedding vows by the Pundit and he is enraged since he has already planned Nandini's wedding with Vanraj (Ajay Devgan), who had fallen in love with her during her cousin Anu's (Sheeba Chaddha) wedding. Sameer is banished from the household and the Pundit quits singing since he believes Nandini has brought shame to the family. Sameer is asked never to meet Nandini again (Mahaveer asks for this as his Gurudakshina). Although he eventually leaves for Italy, he writes letters to Nandini asking her to join him, but his letters do not reach her. After a futile suicide attempt (she cuts her wrists and bleeds off into the swimming pool), Nandini reluctantly weds Vanraj. He tries to consummate their marriage on their wedding night, but Nandini is disgusted by his approach and acts coldly towards him. He asks her for an explanation but she chooses to remain silent. Nandini finally receives Sameer's letters (The house servant delivers them to her, when she was already married and in her new house) and Vanraj walks in on her reading them. He is enraged and initially decides to return her to her parents, but soon realizes that since she is in love with another man, the right thing to do would be to unite the pair. Vanraj seeks his parents consent, which they give after disagreeing at first. Nandini and Vanraj arrive in Italy but come up against dead ends searching for Sameer. They almost find Sameer at a cafe, when they see a drawing from him in their guest book. Nandini chases after Sameer but nearly dies in the path of an oncoming tram. Vanraj saves Nandini.. They gradually become friends and start to enjoy each other's company. During their search, they are mobbed and Nandini is shot in the arm. Vanraj carries Nandini to the hospital in his arms and saves her life. Moved by Vanraj's gentleness and affection towards her, Nandini begins to warm up to him. Vanraj has to sell his wedding ring, as he had no money left for Nandini's hospital bills. Eventually, they are able to locate Sameer through his mother Zooni (Helen), and Vanraj dutifully arranges for their meeting on the night of Sameer's debut concert. He then bids goodbye to Nandini and walks away heartbroken. Upon meeting Sameer, she apologizes to him and tells him that she has come to love Vanraj. She reflects on the unwavering love and devotion that Vanraj has showered upon her throughout their relationship, and realizes that Vanraj is her true soul mate. Sameer realizes that she doesn't have that love for him which he saw in her long back. Heartbroken, Sameer lets her go back to Vanraj which she readily accepts and Sameer breaks down after she leaves and his mother consoles him. She runs back to Vanraj and he tells her that he cannot live without her. Vanraj adorns a Mangala Sutra around her neck and they embrace each other.

Kajal's father reports the crime being the eyewitness, to police. When Karan got to know about the report, he enters Kajal's house and starts beating her father. In order to protect her father and stop Karan, she slaps him. For the first time, Karan notices her and gets in eye contact with her which stopped him (as he got stuck with beauty and charm in her eyes). And then Karan goes to Tulsi (Tabu), a prostitute in one brothel where he is not able to forget Kajal's eyes and in frustration leaves the brothel. Karan starts stalking her and when she is stopped by him in a temple. Kajal felt disgraced, faced her fear and without being scared, lashed out on him by criticizing his behavior and thinking that he wants to fulfill his lust for her, after listening to which Karan feels disgusted and leaves the temple. Karen's soft side is depicted where he saved one child, named Timepass, being mistreated by customers at a bar and took that child with him to his place after knowing that he is an orphan and lives on streets and works to survive which shows the reason of his present state, and why he wants to save the child from the horrors of life, and save that child's childhood which Karan had lost. After, Kajal and some other women are on a bus and are being harassed by some goons from which Karan saves them and hands over the goons to the police. After witnessing his courage and goodness in Karan to do the right thing, Kajal becomes infatuated with him and gets interested in him.

Once witnessing his terror in people she criticizes and asks for a promise to change his life for her. Karan who had never been asked to be good since his childhood, and now this girl wants to see him a changed man, teaches him true values of life, all this makes him want to be a good person. Karan leaves the criminal world to be with Kajal. Karan is now madly and passionately in love with Kajal and can't bear even the thought of losing her.

Raju (Salman Khan), son of Kajal's father's childhood friend Ramakant Sahaye (Dalip Tahil), is enthusiastic, mischievous and flirtatious towards Kajal, and has come back from America to fulfill the desire of his parents for him to marry Kajal. Kajal does not know about this fact. She gets to know about it when she is told by his father about the marriage plans with Raju. She confessed to her father about her love for Karan and refuses to marry Raju, after listening to this and thinking about her afterlife with a goon, her father suffers a major heart attack. To save her father, being the righteous girl and thinking it is her duty towards her father, she agrees to marry Raju. Karan gets furious with this and goes to Kajal's house to beg for her love but Kajal disclaims her love and backs out and asks him to forget her and never to return. Kajal considers the circumstances that how she was helpless to be with Karan and in saving her father's life, she realizes that she should not dwell in her past and it is best now that she should accept the truth and move on. (Again, this shows her power to sacrifice her wishes to do what is morally right for her and what she is supposed to do). Kajal marries Raju. Karan fails to prevent the marriage and is upset, so he returns to a criminal lifestyle. Kajal promises to her father while bidding adieu that she will fulfill the duties and responsibilities of a wife in true and every sense.
