Plot

The film revolves around the character of Shalu (Preity Zinta) and her relationships with her mother, Sarita (Rekha), and sister, Nimmi (Mahima Chaudhary). Unknown to Shalu and Nimmi, they are only half-sisters, as Shalu is the daughter of Sarita's late husband with the woman he had been having an affair with. Wounded in a car accident with Shalu's biological mother, he begged Sarita on his death bed to accept Shalu as her own.

Although Sarita adopted Shalu, she cannot forget the truth of Shalu's hidden parentage, and so gives her none of the love she shows to her real daughter, Nimmi. Shalu, on the other hand, loves Saritaji, whom she believes is her real mother. She constantly craves her mother's affection but does not get it, so she retaliates by being rebellious, thinking it is the only way to get her mother's attention. Unlike their mother, Nimmi loves Shalu very much and constantly stands up for her, though she refuses to think ill-will of Saritaji.
