Plot

Vanshika Mathur, an orphan who lives with her aunt, is a simple middle-class girl desperately in search of a job. Eventually she gets a job with Mr. Sinha, a very successful businessman. Mr. Sinha is a widower who has a son Abhay. Abhay has grown up with his maternal uncle, Rakesh, a four-time divorce, whose motto is "Stay unmarried and lead a Bohemian lifestyle". Abhay is strongly influenced by his uncle and has grown into a flamboyant, arrogant, spoilt brat who has never put in a day's work at the family business. Mr. Sinha is obviously perturbed to the point of distress by the lifestyle his son leads – partying all night and sleeping through the day. He is determined to get his son back on the right track. In order to get Abhay into the office, he entices him with the idea of a young female secretary. He succeeds. Abhay meets Vanshika at the office. He is disgusted. She is flustered, but hopelessly in love. The rest of the film is a roller-coaster ride – a clash of the value system of the idealistic Vanshika and the non-existent morals of the wayward Abhay.

Despite all this, what looks like an attempt at going commercial did her in. See what she did with the storyline..."
