) is being accused of murder of Sheetal Puri(Priti Sapru
). At this point, Tulsi(Sridevi) steps into the witness box & recolects the whole story.

Rajat tries to assuage her & assures that there is no such thing going on. However, with each day, Mukta's suspicion & bitterness towards Rajat grows. Finally, Rajat too is not able to take this & calls it quits. The duo go through a divorce & get separated.
After that Rajat goes downhill. He starts drinking excessively & causes headlines for all wrong reasons. Rajat terminates Sheetal's contract with his firm. This causes huge financial loss to Rajat's firm, as Sheetal has become famous & almost no model is ready to step in her shoes.
Meanwhile, Mukta discovers that she is pregnant with Rajat's child & starts repenting for what she did. She tries to reconcile, but is coldly told by Sheetal that she has lost Rajat to the latter, no matter what the case really appears to be. When Sheetal learns of Mukta's pregnancy, she sees to it that Rajat never gets to know about it.
All this is witnessed by Tulsi(Sridevi), a housemaid of Rajat. She is helpless even as Rajat stumbles deeper into the mess. Little does she know that she is going to be the turning point of rest of the story.
Rajat, in utter desparation, decides to launch Tulsi as a new model, as he does not want to renegotiate with Sheetal. Tulsi has no other option but to go along his decision. Rajat transforms Tulsi & sure enough, the latter starts gaining market. Sheetal is naturally raged by this unexpected roadblock.
The rest of the story is all about how Tulsi enters the life of Rajat and how she affects the relation of Mukta nad Rajat further.Will Tulsi fall in love with Rajat? Will Tulsi marry Rajat? Will Mukta ever come to know that Rajat was innocent? Will Sheetal play spoilsport to Mukta's life even more? Will Mukta and Rajat ever be able to reconcile? What landed all of them to court?
