Dr. Ranveer is extremely protective of his college-going daughter, Ria, as a result of his son's death many years prior due to a car accident. One night, while walking home from college, she is run over by a biker gang. She yells at them until one of the members helps her pick up her notebooks.

Ria and her friends go to a night club, and the same man who helped Ria walks up to her. She is surprised to see him again and is shocked when he tells her that he hasn't stopped thinking about her ever since that night. He forces her to dance with her, making her feel uncomfortable. Dr. Ranveer arrives to collect Ria. The man introduces himself as Aryan before she leaves. Aryan and his friends go to a brothel where a prostitute Saira, teases Aryan when he refuses to sleep with her. He takes her to a room where she believes they are going to have a sex, but Aryan brutally beats her. Dr. Ranveer is called to the hospital to treat her.

The next morning, Aryan walks into one of Ria's classes and takes her to his apartment, where he shows her a portrait he made of her. When she tells him the portrait is beautiful, he proceeds to light it on fire and tells her that nothing in the world is more beautiful than her. She runs out of his apartment terrified, but realizes that she has fallen in love with him. The pair begin to spend more time with each another. Ria's parents plan a surprise vacation.
