Plot

[edit]

Simran lives with her uncle, Rajendra, in a wealthy Malhotra family. She falls in love with Sameer, a photographer. While she participates in a beauty contest, her collegemate Taniya Khurana becomes frustrated. Taniya's brother Ajit threatens her regularly. But Simran's best friend Kajal and Kajal's boyfriend Kunal support Simran. They assure her. Simran takes part in the contest and wins. Disheartened, Ajit attacks Simran and Kajal, but they accidentally kill him after a short fight. When their respective boyfriends return, they decide not to tell anyone about the horrific incident. But Bikram, close to the Malhotra family, tries to blackmail those four friends that he knows everything about Ajit's death. Police inspector Ashutosh Khanna suspects the gang of four, but he has no evidence against them.
