Surinder "Suri" Sahni is a shy, introverted, and kind-hearted office employee for Punjab Power who falls in love at first sight with Taani, the cheerful, vivacious daughter of his former Professor Gupta at her engagement party. ![]() Before the wedding, Taani's fiancé and her entire wedding entourage are killed in a road accident. The shocked Professor Gupta suffers a massive heart attack and is hospitalized. On his deathbed, fearing that Taani will be alone in the world, the dying Professor Gupta implores that Suri marries her. Suri silently concedes because he likes her anyway and as a respect to his professor, while Taani agrees to fulfill her father's last wish. Professor Gupta dies and after an impromptu wedding, Suri takes Taani to his ancestral home in Amritsar. While his good nature leads Suri to treat her with exceptional care - he even lets Taani have his bedroom all to herself - he is too frightened to profess his love for her. Taani later agrees to try to be a good wife and thus respect her role in Suri's life, but feels she can never love him, or anyone, again after the loss of her former fiancé.

These include regular evening trips to the cinema to see Bollywood movies which appeal to Taani's fantasies about romance and her passion for dancing.Ī few days later, Taani finds a dancing competition poster and asks for Suri's permission to take part in it, which he agrees to. ![]()
