Seema (Juhi Chawla) is an ambitious young woman and an aspiring model. Rahul and Seema meet but Siddharth is attracted to her and asks Rahul to help him trap her. A helpless Rahul does so. But deep somewhere, Rahul has a soft spot for Seema. Seema is impressed by Siddharth and is forced by him to act as Rahul's wife to fool Siddharth's wife. Seema slowly understands Rahul's purity of heart and begins liking him when they go to Switzerland for a shooting schedule.
But they face a problem. Rahul's mother (Reema Lagoo) is a heart patient and is sensitive to any shocking news. Bhushan (Gulshan Grover) uses Rahul and tells his mother that Rahul is married.
