When Shekhar accidentally kills Amar, guilt drives him to Canada to seek forgiveness from Amar`s family. He meets Amar`s fiancee, Piya, and offers help for her dying business. In the process, he secretly falls in love with her.

Shekhar lives in Mumbai with his friend Bosco, who had also traveled from Canada to be with him. Shekhar had just been awarded with a business recognition at an industry forum. This is where Shekhar runs into Amar from Canada's Shah industries. Amar reveals that he is going to marry his fiance in Canada the following week. Amar was in India to shop for a wedding dress for Pia, who wanted to get married in traditional Indian attire. Amar invites Shekhar to come to Canada and join Shah industries, but Shekhar politely declines and says that he is happy in Mumbai. On his way to the airport, Amar's cab breaks down. He is told by the driver to get a different taxi as Amar is getting late for his flight. Since the airport was only 1 Km away, Amar decides to walk, while talking on the phone with Pia, his fiance. At the same time, Shekhar was returning from the party with Bosco. Shekhar swerves the car to avoid hitting a girl who suddenly jumped in front of the car, but in doing so, he rams straight into Amar, who was walking on the pedestrian footpath. Amar dies on the spot. Bosco makes Shekhar leave the accident site before the police arrives, even though Shekhar sees Amar's phone on the ground and picks it up to hear Pia narrating a romantic poem, symbolizing their love. Bosco removes all evidence linking Shekhar to the accident. After Amar Shah's (Raqesh Vashisth) accidental death in India, Canada-based Shah Industries is on the verge of collapse. Pia (Sandali Sinha), Amar's fiance and a Managing Director of Shah Industries, is devastated. The company is under huge amount of debt, and the assets of the company are not even enough to pay off half the amount. Girdhari (Vikram Gokhale), his dad, is in shock and unresponsive towards others while Amar's sister Milli (Amrita Prakash) and grandmother (Dina Pathak) are in mourning. Inspector D'Mello (Manoj Pahwa) who is investigating the case is determined to find the person responsible for the accident despite his superiors' indifference towards the case. Months after Amar's death, the highly respected and talented business worker Shekhar Malhotra (Priyanshu Chatterjee) comes to Canada and meets Bosco. Shekhar says that he wants to apologize to Amar's family and is willing to undergo any punishment that the family deems appropriate. Shekhar tells Girdhar that he met Amar in Mumbai and says that it was his car that killed Amar. Girdhar is near catatonic and does not react. Pia realizes that she needs an Operations Head to make sure that the company is functioning again and restores faith in the lenders. Shekhar meets Pia and says that he met Amar in Mumbai, who offered him a job in Shah industries in Canada. Shekhar offers to re-build and restore Shah Industries without any compensation, stating Amar met him in India and offered him a job before his death. He is given the chance and goes about the uphill task of making the company viable again. Gradually, Shekhar heals the gaping wound left in the Shah family by Amar's death and they come to accept him as one of the family while he falls in love with Pia. What they don't know - except for Bosco (Rajesh Khera), Shekhar's friend in Canada - is that it was Shekhar's jeep that accidentally had hit Amar after he swerved to avoid hitting an innocent girl who had walked into the road, causing his death. Ridden by guilt Shekhar came to Canada to confess, ask for forgiveness, and do whatever he can for the family. Abhigyan (Himanshu Malik) is a wealthy Canadian industrialist who meets Pia and realizes that she is the right woman for him. He is considering proposing to Pia and helping to rebuild Shah Industries. But Pia has fallen in love with Shekhar. Eventually, a conflict arises between Pia and Shekhar regarding a proposition made by Abhi to take over Shah Industries. Shekhar realizes that Pia does not need his help anymore and decides to return to India. Pia stops Shekhar while he boards his flight and confesses her feelings for him. Shekhar denies his feelings and boards the plane. Devastated, Pia goes home and gets engaged to Abhi. At the airport arrives inspector D'Mello (Manoj Pahwa), from India in search of the person who killed Amar, and arrests Shekhar. They wait, with Bosco (Rajesh Khera), to board the next flight to India. Shekhar calls Pia and tells her how much he loves her and confesses that it was he who hit her fiance. Being drunk, Shekhar meets with an accident. Pia feels guilty about falling for the man who caused Amar's death and confesses it to Girdhari, who surprises her by speaking for the first time after his son's death. He tells her that Shekhar had told him the truth when he first visited them, and he believes Shekhar. Amar's family then makes Pia realize how much Shekhar has done for the family and that he is like Amar to them. Bosco informs them about Shekhar's accident. Abhi tells a skeptical Pia to go back to Shekhar as he is her true love. Meanwhile, D'Mello who is in the hospital with everyone, understands that the family needs Shekhar more than the law does and simply closes the case and leave. Shekhar recovers and unites with Pia while Abhi is left devastated and is comforted by his uncle.
