Plot

The story of Chaahat - Ek Nasha deals in Mallika Arora (Manisha Koirala) who is a pop star. She is blindly in love with Rahul Kapoor (Aryan Vaid), the owner of RK music world. He thinks of her as his best friend only. However, when he proposes to her she politely turns down the marriage proposal saying that she does not believe in wedlock. She ardently follows the western lifestyle and is strongly of the view that the instant a couple gets married, the love-n-affection glides away from their lives. Though she is physically attached towards Rahul she does not want to tie the knot. Rahul and Mallika have had many physical relations.

The story takes a new turn with the downfall of Mallika as all of her albums are flopping and she is becoming a fading star. Rahul launches a newcomer Rashmi Jaitly (Preeti Jhangiani), an aspirant singer and dancer, in his new music video. Rashmi's debut music video is a big hit and she becomes a star overnight. Rahul falls in love with her and Rashmi too reciprocates his feelings. Then, Rahul decides to marry her.

When this reality of Rahul's falling in love with Rashmi is dawned upon Mallika she is shattered. It is a big emotional shock to her. It is at this juncture that she orders her personal bodyguard Jaidev (Sharad Kapoor) to knock off Rahul. However, the next morning when her alcoholic intoxication vanishes, Mallika realizes her mistake and calls up Jaidev in order to stop him from killing Rahul.

But Jaidev who is a one sided lover of Mallika, is all set to eliminate Rahul. The dangerous game begins while Mallika wants to save her love at any cost.
