Years later Raj and Karan are grown up; Raj is in love with his childhood sweetheart Anjali and wants to marry her, while Karan flirts with Leena Bharucha and abandons her. Karan subsequently meets with London-returned Kajal Sharma and woos her. She agrees to marry him. Raj's and Karan's weddings are planned for the same day. Things take a turn for the worse when Leena and her dad, who is employed by Thapar, characterize the friends as flirts.
