Karan Dev Singh
(Aamir Khan), a Casanova
deep in
debt, agrees to marry A
nita (Deepti Bhatnagar), the daughter of Singhania (Dalip
Tahil), a rich tycoon. Priya (Manisha Koirala) and Karan meet on a cruise. Priya has just won a
dancing competition and Karan has just finished some work for his to-be father-in-law, even though he
hasn't made a good first impression. He tries to make Priya fall for his charms but he is unsuccessful,
but they become friends before they separate.
Priya and Karan fall in love. Raj (Anil Kapoor) is Priya's fiancé and she agrees to marry him because he had helped her when she was in need. When the time comes for the engagement of Karan, he says no to everything and ends up on the street, which Priya sees on TV. The day Priya gets engaged, she writes a letter to Karan telling him that their relationship is over. Raj gets the letter by mistake and he agrees to let her go. While she is going to meet him she has an accident and has to get her legs amputated, which makes Karan unhappy, and he goes on to become a famous painter. He later meets Priya again but does not realize that she got her legs amputated, and she does not tell him. Finally, he has an exhibition and Priya purchases a painting of his, which is of her speaking to his grandmother, whom Karan had introduced to her to during the cruise. One day he comes to give her a payal (piece of jewellery worn on the feet around the ankles) and sees the painting, which causes him to learn that her legs were amputated. Karan and Priya then marry each other.
