Plot[edit]
The story is based in Cape Town, South Africa. Arjun is a wealthy orphan who spends his time in leisure with his friends, Romeo and Chiku. One day, Arjun's path crosses with Kajal and is attracted to her. He befriends Kajal, but hesitates to confess his feelings for her. One day, Kajal reads a draft of Arjun's love letter. Unaware that she is Arjun's crush, Kajal tells him that she desires a self-made, successful man as her life partner. An upset Arjun travels to Mumbai to establish his career as an architect.
In the months of Arjun's absence, Kajal meets Ranveer Oberoi, a successful business magnate. Ranveer's mother takes a liking to Kajal and encourages her to date her son. They grow close, but Kajal often reminisces Arjun. Although Ranveer is Kajal's ideal man, his workaholic tendencies occasionally discomfit her and she feels uncertain about him.
Arjun returns as a successful architect, but is upset to discover Ranveer and Kajal's engagement. Nevertheless, he supports the couple. Ranveer becomes jealous of Kajal's friendship with Arjun, but is surprised when the latter continues to support him. Unknown to Arjun, Kajal learns of his unrequited feelings. Ranveer also suspects that Arjun has feelings for Kajal and confronts him about it, urging him to confess to her. Kajal approaches Arjun and admits to being in love with him. Eventually, Kajal and Ranveer amicably cancel their marriage and she marries Arjun instead.
