'''''Kuch Naa Kaho''''' ([[Hindi]]: कुछ ना कहो, translation: ''Don't Say Anything'') is a 2003 Indian [[Hindi]]-language [[romantic drama]] directed by [[Rohan Sippy]], starring [[Aishwarya Rai]], [[Abhishek Bachchan]] and [[Arbaaz Khan]]. It was released on 5 September 2003. This title of the film is based on a song from the film ''[[1942: A Love Story]]'' (1994).

==Plot==

Raj ([[Abhishek Bachchan]]) is a happy and free-spirited Indian-American bachelor living with his mother ([[Suhasini Mulay]]) who visits his ancestral homeland in [[Mumbai]], to attend his cousin Nikki's ([[Meghna Malik]]) wedding. Once in India, he finds himself pushed towards marriage by his overzealous uncle ([[Satish Shah]]). His uncle's employee, Namrata ([[Aishwarya Rai]]) chaperones Raj on a series of set-ups/dates, all of which he deliberately sabotages. During the course of the wedding ceremonies, Raj discovers that he is falling for Namrata. After some deliberation, he decides to tell her, but to his surprise, he discovers she has a 7-year-old son, Aditya.

Raj is confused but forms a strong fatherly relationship with Aditya. Raj's uncle informs him that Namrata's husband disappeared right before Aditya's birth, and has never returned to his son or wife. Finding a letter that Raj had written confessing his feelings, Namrata gets upset thinking Raj tried to use her son to get close to her. She attempts to distance herself from him, but a stubborn Raj follows her to Aditya's boarding school, having promised the boy to pose as his father. On being prodded by Raj, she tells him that her husband Sanjeev left her for another woman whilst she was pregnant. Namrata and Raj begin to bond.

After some months, Raj decides to introduce Namrata to his mother. A short while later, he finds out that Sanjeev ([[Arbaaz Khan]]) has returned and is looking to reconcile with Namrata. Namrata is aghast and makes it clear that she does not want anything to do with him. Sanjeev refuses to leave, becoming stubborn and persistent, threatening her with a lawsuit for custody of Aditya. This puts Namrata on the path of reconciliation with Sanjeev.

After a chance meeting, Raj invites Sanjeev to his home for the wedding. Aditya is present and is affectionate with Raj, calling him "Dad." Sanjeev becomes jealous and angry, insulting Raj and his family. After witnessing Sanjeev's bad behaviour towards Raj, Namrata finally gets the courage to stand up to him. She publicly tells him off and also admits that she is in love with Raj. Sanjeev is ashamed and disappears once again warning Raj to not make the mistakes he made with his family.

Six months later Raj and Namrata decide to get married, and are soon expecting a child.
