Plot

Kajal (Divya Bharti) falls in love and marries a famous singer Ravi (Rishi Kapoor). They live their newly married life happily for a while, until tragedy strikes: Ravi's greedy uncle Pratap (Amrish Puri) and cousin Narender (Mohnish Behl), who are determined to lay their hands on Ravi’s wealth. Ravi's cousin first tries to rape Kajal but fails when Ravi beats him up. Then, Ravi's uncle Pratap hire hoodlums to kill Ravi, and he is thrown off a cliff. Along with Ravi, Pratap's son dies.

Kajal’s mother-in-law (Sushma Seth) takes Kajal away from the depression of losing her husband to start a new life. In a new city, the widowed and depressed Kajal tries to get over her painful experience. One day a young man, Raja (Shahrukh Khan), accidentally hits Kajal's mother-in-law, Kajal scolds him, and he falls in love with her. When he tells Kajal he loves her, Kajal tells him that she is a widow. Raja asks his dad, but his dad refuses. Raja's dad asks a bunch of thugs to get rid of Kajal. Raja tells his father that he is not his son anymore and that he will marry Kajal. Raja begs Kajal's mother-in-law to have Kajal marry him. Her mother-in-law, too, feels that she should marry again and persuades her.

They get married. Raja tells her that he will not touch her until she accepts him. Raja looks for a job and his friends open a garage with him. One day, Raja goes to check out a jeep. The brakes failed and he had an accident. Kajal was shocked when she heard this. She runs to Raja to see him. When they came back from the hospital Kajal accepts him and falls in love with him. Everyone lived happily until one day when Raja rescues a man from hoodlums: he treats him in a hospital and befriends the man, whose name was Ravi. When Raja tells Ravi that it is his wife's birthday, Ravi is shocked because his wife's birthday was on the same day.

When Raja brings Ravi, Kajal is shocked to see her husband's new friend is none other than her first husband, who apparently survived his uncle's attempt to kill him. When the truth is revealed, Kajal stays with Raja. Ravi's mother leaves with Ravi. Ravi's uncle had thug spying on Sharma, a lawyer. He figures out that Ravi is alive. Pratap kidnaps Raja and Kajal. A few of Pratap's thugs tell him he wants a deal. Pratap says to sign the papers and then he will let them go. Pratap tries to kill them when Raja appears just in time. Raja escapes, but they don't know where Kajal is. After beating Pratap up, they find Kajal, who is tied up with a bomb strapped around her. Ravi manages to switch off the bomb and takes it off her.
