The story of two sisters in love with the same man. Roma, the more confident
and ambitious one captivates Ravi and brings him home to meet her parents and
have the match approved. Reema, realising that Ravi and Roma are involved with
each other, quietly moves herself out of the competition and hiding her sadness,
joins in the festivities of her sister's marriage. But Roma in her typical fashion
of losing interest once she has what she wants, has set her sights on more than
marriage and living the rest of her life as Mrs. Ravi Saxena.
In the meanwhile, a published picture of hers gets a top photographer interested
in her. He encourages her to have a photo session done against the wishes of
her fiancee. It doesn't take much to convince Roma. She is convinced that she
has a glorious career ahead of her in fashion and films and ditches Ravi at
the ""mandap"" (wedding place). She leaves behind a note
telling Ravi that she is confident that he will wait for her, but since the
film producer won't, she is leaving. And that she will come back as soon as
the movie is over and get married to him. Reema and the rest of the family are
stunned and look to Ravi for his reaction. They are further shocked when Ravi
controls his feelings and instantaneously decides to marry Reema instead. Reema
seeing the man she loves in pain cannot refuse him and agrees to the marriage.
Reema and Ravi start their marriage under a cloud but slowly Ravi discovers
that true worth of Reema, and she in turn blossoms under the attention of the
man she loves and from a shy, timid and self effacing young girl grows into
a beautiful confident woman.
But life is not all roses and wine and just as their marriage was coming close
to becoming a beautiful reality, Roma comes back into their lives. In her supremely
selfish way she forgets the pain she caused Ravi, Reema and the family by running
away on her wedding day. Instead she accuses Reema and Ravi of stabbing her
in the back and walks out of Ravi's house cursing them with life filled with
unhappiness for being unfaithful to her. Reema's uncertainties surface again.
All her life she has lived in the shadow of her sister and given in to her every
whim. The tenuous bond between Ravi and Reema is stretched thin again and they
are back in their separate bedrooms with Roma's almost palpable presence like
a wall between them.
But Roma has no intentions of giving up with just the curses. Her alienation
from her family and an attempted suicide and her relying on Reema's selflessness
and genuine love for her, ensure that she lands in Reema and Ravi's marital
home as an invalid. The rest of the film tells of how she slowly becomes blatant
in making a play for Ravi. And how Ravi slowly succumbs to her manipulation.
Or does he? And does Reema finally learn to fight back? Does love unite Reema
and Ravi or is Roma finally victorious? That is revealed only in the last reel
