Plot

Karan Thapar (Bobby Deol) lives a wealthy yet very lonesome lifestyle with his business tycoon dad Vikram (Kiran Kumar), mom Kiran (Lillete Dubey), and sister Nandini (Karishma Tanna) as no one has time for him. One day while at the family's farmhouse, he loses his step and almost falls down a deep gorge. He is rescued by Raj Malhotra (Akshay Kumar), who is an orphan, living a poor lifestyle with his abusive maternal uncle. Karan and Raj become inseparable friends, and Raj moves in to live with Karan, much to the chagrin of the Thapar family members who dislike Raj.

Years later Raj and Karan are grown up; Raj is in love with his childhood sweetheart Anjali (Kareena Kapoor) and wants to marry her, while Karan flirts with Leena Bharucha (Sherlyn Chopra) and abandons her. Karan subsequently meets with London-returned Kajal Sharma (Lara Dutta) and woos her. She agrees to marry him. Raj's and Karan's weddings are planned for the same day. Things take a turn for the worse when Leena and her dad, who is employed by Thapar, characterize the friends as flirts. Consequently, Kajal breaks up with Karan and Anjali's brother cancels her wedding with Raj.

Raj, it is later revealed, is suffering from a fatal disorder. Aditi (Juhi Chawla) is his doctor and the treatment is sponsored by Karan. Raj plays a pivotal role in helping Karan reunite with his family. Karan eventually marries Kajal. Karan and Kajal have named their child after Raj.
