As Raj leaves and is sitting at the railway station, Kuljeet and his friends follow him and nearly beat him senseless with sticks for his deception. He exposes Raj's true identity in front of everybody, slaps him, and angrily tells him to leave, as Simran will marry Kuljeet regardless of what anybody thinks. However, everything comes to a climax when Baldev sees a photograph of Raj and Simran together from their trip. Raj tells Lajo that everything will be fine and that he will only take Simran if her dad Baldev says so. She calls them both and gives all her jewelry and tells Raj to run away with Simran because no one will understand their love. During this time, Lajo catches Simran and Raj feeding each other and realizes that Raj is the boy that Simran met on her trip. At the same time, Kuljeet's sister, Preeti (Mandira Bedi), falls in love with Raj, and things become complicated when Raj's father suddenly appears in India and fixes Raj's marriage to Preeti mistaking her to be the girl his son loves. He helps with the wedding preparations and soon gains everyone's friendship. Raj befriends Kuljeet and pretends to be a friend of the family. He follows Simran to Punjab at the urging of his bold father, meets her privately, and assures her that he will save her from the arranged marriage, and marry her with the consent of her father. Both Simran and her sister Chutki are completely unimpressed with Kuljeet and his brash friends. Lajo tries to spare her daughter's feelings, but cannot stand up to her domineering husband. As it turns out, Kuljeet is an arrogant alpha male who takes pride in being a hunter and boasts to his macho friends that he will engage in marital infidelity.
He is adamant that she marries Kuljeet as planned, that her heartbreak is of her own doing, and they will leave for India as soon as possible.Įven though Simran does not want to marry Kuljeet, her family returns to Punjab. Baldev overhears their conversation, and is furious that Simran broke her promise that she would never betray his trust. Simran goes home and tells her mother that she loves someone and cannot go through with her wedding to Kuljeet. Only after sometime at their moment of parting at the railway station in London does Simran realize that she too has fallen in love with Raj. After some initial misadventures, he falls in love with Simran. Even though he is very strict, Baldev relents and permits her to go, on the condition that she promises never to betray his trust.ĭuring the trip, Simran meets Raj, who is on the same Eurorail package tour with some of his friends. Simran agrees to marry him out of respect for her father, but before the wedding, she begs her father to allow her to go on a trip to Europe with her female friends her last chance to see the world before her marriage to a complete stranger and relocation to India. One day a letter comes from Ajit (Satish Shah), Baldev's best friend in India, saying that his son, Kuljeet (Parmeet Sethi), and Baldev's daughter, Simran, should marry each other, in accordance with a promise the two fathers had made to each other when their children were infants. Her mother "Lajo" (Farida Jalal) tells her not to get her hopes up. Simran dreams of her Prince Charming, a stranger who comes into her life and sweeps her off her feet, and writes about him in her diary. Baldev angrily denounces Raj as a disgrace to Indians. One day Raj tricks Baldev into selling him some beer after closing time by feigning an urgent need for headache medicine, making him very angry. Simran is the elder daughter of petrol station/convenience store owner Chaudhry Baldev Singh (Amrish Puri), a very socially conservative Punjabi Indian man whose only dream is to one day go back to his native Punjab.
