Plot
Story is based in Cape Town, South Africa. Arjun (Tusshar Kapoor) is a wealthy orphan who spends his time in leisure with his friends, Romeo and Chiku. Arjun's path crosses with Kajal (Ayesha Takia) and is attracted to her. He befriends Kajal but is unable to confess his feelings for her. One day, Kajal reads a draft of Arjun's love letter. Unaware that she is Arjun's crush, Kajal tells him that she desires a self made, successful man as her life partner. Upset, Arjun travels to Mumbai to establish his career as an architect.
In the months of Arjun's absence, Kajal meets Ranveer Oberoi, a successful business magnate. Ranveer's mother takes a liking to Kajal and encourages her to date her son. Ranveer and Kajal like each other, however Kajal keeps remembering Arjun. Although Ranveer is Kajal's ideal man, she is uncertain about him and Ranveer's workaholic tendencies occasionally discomfit her.
Arjun returns as a successful architect, and is upset upon learning of Ranveer and Kajal's engagement. He conceals his sorrow and supports the couple. Ranveer is jealous of Kajal's friendship with Arjun but is surprised when Arjun continues to support him. Unknown to Arjun, Kajal comes to know of his feelings. Ranveer also suspects that Arjun has feelings for Kajal and confronts him about it, telling him to confess to her. Kajal approaches Arjun and admits to being in love with him. Eventually, Kajal and Ranveer amicably cancel their marriage and she marries Arjun instead.
