- Viren Oberoi is a rich wastrel, who on coming back from education in America, shows no inclination of joining the family business, but is content spending time with his girlfriend Karen. His family is unaware about Karen's presence in Viren's life, because she is Catholic, and Viren doesn't have the nerve to tell his strongly Punjabi family that he has been dating a Christian the past three years. The family finally decides that Viren must "settle down" and chooses a girl, Aditi Sahani for him. Aditi is the niece of the household, since her aunt and uncle have taken her in after her parents expired. On the arranged "girl viewing" when Viren meets Aditi, he explains to her (in private) that he is in love with his girlfriend Karen, and has no intention of marrying her (Aditi). They chat and become friends in a short meeting. When Viren conveys his rejection of the girl, there is bad blood between the two families, with insults being traded freely, thus stemming the public display of Viren and Aditi's friendship. They do continue meeting by chance however, and the friendship grows secretly. Meanwhile, Viren proposes to Karen, she accepts, and on persuasion, so does her family. Viren is thinking of ways to persuade his family (by enlisting his bhabhi's help), when suddenly Karen's parents come to meet Viren's. Viren's dad refuses the match basing his decision on the religion factor. Viren, during this time starts to doubt his feelings for Karen, and realizes he has stronger feelings for Aditi. He then sneaks into Aditi's home, and declares his love to her. She apparently loves him too. When he returns home, with plans of breaking it off with Karen, he finds Karen and family at his home amid celebrations - his parents have agreed to the match because of his bhabhi's persuasion! Is Viren able to get out of the mess he's created? And do he and Aditi find romantic bliss despite stiff opposition from both families?

- Viren (Abhay Deol) and Aditi (Ayesha Takia) are introduced by their families (Viren's family was putting a lot of pressure on him to get married and Viren's dad is not willing to hear any arguments to delay the process), but Viren refuses to marry because he wants to marry his girlfriend of three years, Karen (Apoorva Jha). Viren and Aditi parted on good terms as Viren was upfront and honest to her about Karen. Aditi also talks about how she has been rejected 4 times, and probably because she is an orphan and lives with her uncle Damodar Malhotra (Salim Shah) and aunt. Sonal (Sandhya Mridul) is Aditi's first cousin. Viren and Aditi find it easy to talk to each other. Viren lives with his dad Nirmal (Suresh Oberoi), Mom (Lushin Dubey), Brother Naren (Manish Choudhary) & Sister-in-law Namita (Ayesha Jhulka). Karen lives with her dad (Sohrab Ardeshir).
Viren's refusal creates tension between the families, as Aditi's aunt (Rati Agnihotri) feels insulted. Aditi had warned Viren not to take too much to refuse the match as her aunt builds high hope for a yes decision, as time passes. But when they were coming out of Aditi's room, Sonal saw Viren and Aditi holding hands (they were wishing each other best of luck) and thus the family had very high hopes that this time it would be a yes decision.
However, Viren and Aditi meet by coincidence and Viren apologizes for all the tension between the families. Aditi is cool & they bond quickly and Viren invites Aditi to accompany him to Goa - he wants her to find out if his girlfriend Karen loves him or not. Viren admits to Aditi that he doesn't know whether Karen loves her or not, to say yes to his marriage proposal and Aditi brags that this can be ascertained in 3 seconds and Viren has been with Karen for 3 yrs. Viren takes Aditi to meet Karen. When Karen has an issue that her aunt from Australia is visiting, Aditi meets Karen's father and requests him to let Karen go to Goa, as it's her (Aditi's) wedding. Her father agrees and says he will drop Karen in Goa himself, now Aditi is forced to go to Goa along with the group, to keep up the lie. Karen convinces Aditi's aunt, saying its Karen's wedding in Goa.
In Goa, the two of them grow closer and Karen notices this. Aditi also tells Viren that Karen perhaps doesn't like him spending too much time with her, but Viren ignores Aditi's concerns. They both return to Mumbai. Aditi's family suspects that she has lied to them. Gopal (Rajendranath Zutshi) her first cousin catches Aditi meeting Viren and is angry at this. Viren goes to Aditi's house to save her from trouble, but her uncle calls Viren's dad to complain about Viren's behavior. Eventually both families figure out that Viren and Aditi lied to them and spent time together in Goa.
Viren proposes to Karen, and she accepts. Viren also asks for permission from Karen's dad and impresses him. But Viren angers Karen when he asks her to call Aditi's house and get her on the phone as her family cuts the line when they hear Viren's voice. Viren realizes he has fallen in love with Aditi - however, preparations for his own wedding with Karen are already underway; things get more complicated as he fought very hard to get engaged to Karen because she's a Christian and Viren a Hindu (Viren had to convince his own dad, who was totally opposed to the match and had employed the charms of Namita to help convince him). Despite this, he wants to marry Aditi who has fallen in love with him, too. So, Viren tries crazy stunts like telling Karen's dad that she will have to change her name to a Hindu one after marriage. His plan is to get Karen to refuse to marry him. Karen confronts Aditi in front of her family and blames her for interfering in her life with Viren.
Aditi rejects Viren out of respect for her aunt and uncle who have engaged her to Mahesh (Viren had broken into Aditi's home on the day when Mahesh had some to meet her for a formal Roka ceremony), Aditi's on-and-off boyfriend. After several conversations with Namita (who tells Viren that he is crazy and has no clue what he wants in life), Viren finally forgets Aditi, tells the truth to Karen and gets on with his life, feeling miserable. On the day of Aditi's engagement, Karen meets her and asks her why she is not marrying Viren, now that Viren and Karen have broken up. Karen also tells her that Viren is miserable. Her cousin overhears this conversation and convinces Aditi to elope with Viren, which she does. They apologize to their families and are accepted.
