Synopsis

Sanjana Kajol lives in France with her Uncle Harish Patel and is about to marry her love Rahul Bijay Anand. Rahul is about to go to India for a business trip and Sanjana insists on going with him, even though she is scared of flying. When the plane is ready to take off Sanjana's fear get's the best of her and she creates a havoc on getting off the plane.

During Rahul's daily call to Sanjana he blurts out that he has fallen in Love with Nisha Kashmira Shah and intends not to come back to Paris and get married to Sanjana.

Sanjana decides upon herself to get Rahul back whatever the price will be, even as going to combat her fear of flying. As the plane is about to take off a passenger sits next to her named Shekhar Ajay Devgan. He realises that Sanjana is scared of flying so he diverts Sanjana attractions to himself by feeling sorry for Rahul. During the flight Sanjana accidentally spills drink on Shekhar and she realises that he hiding something. Shekhar reaches the toilets and pulls out a plant out of his pocket. When he unwraps the clothing over the plant we realise that Shekhar is in fact a thief and has stolen a diamond necklace from Paris and has hidden it in a plant. After a chaotic journey they reach India.

Sanjana searches for her lost love as her baggage is stolen. Little does she know that Shekhar put some of his stolen goods into one of her bags. Shekhar then goes after her baggage with Sanjana and helps her out to find Rahul, as Rahul runs to Palam Beach. Shekhar falls in love with Sanjana on their trip to the vacation resort. Sanjana still is in love with Rahul, and when she reaches Paali Hill, she is still determined to separate Rahul and Nisha. In order to make Rahul jealous, Sanjana & Shekhar pose as a couple in love. Unfortunetely, what works in Sanjana's favor is a staged drama , wherein it is revealed that she is a rich heiress. This sends Rahul out of Nisha's, and straight in Sanjana's arms. Sanjana however, has fallen for the brooding intense Shekhar, and knowing that she can never tell him, she decides to go back to France. A typical Hindi movie climax follows, where Shekhar realises he has to tell Sanjana about his love, and he braves traffic snarls, a car that bursts into flame, and is able to stop her flight from taking off.
