The story was adapted from the film Nadiya Ke Paar [1982] also made by Rajshri Productions. It tells the story of two lovers, Prem [Salman Khan] and Nisha [Madhuri Dixit] who are very fun loving, cheerful and full of mischief. Prems elder brother, Rajesh [Mohnish Behl], is to be married to Nishas elder sister, Pooja [Renuka Shahane]. Prems uncle [Alok Nath] and Nishas parents [Anupam Kher and Reema Lagoo] were college friends and when they meet, they arrange Rajesh and Poojas marriage. During the marriage a lot of fun and mischief happens until it is time for Pooja to leave to her new home. Prem gets along well with his sister-in-law, and soon they discover that Pooja is pregnant. Poojas parents are unable to come to the ceremony marking the arrival of the baby so they send Nisha instead. While she is there, she and Prem fall in love with each other. Later, Nishas parents come over to Poojas house for a few days and when they have to go, everybody persuades them to stay over for a day. Then when the day for them to leave comes, everybody is sad, especially Prem as he has become very close to Nisha. Then one day Pooja goes to stay at her parents house and Prem follows her there. Once they reach the house, Pooja finds out that Prem and Nisha love each other. She promises to get them married and gives Nisha the family necklace. Then the phone rings and Pooja goes to answer it. She is very happy and is hopping down the stairs when her foot accidentally slips and she dies after falling off the stairs. Everybody is sad about the accident. Nisha takes good care of Poojas child and everybody thinks that she will be a great mother to the baby and so Prems father and Nishas parents talks about a marriage between Rajesh and Nisha. Nisha overhears her parents talking about her being the daughter-in-law of the house that her sister was from, and she mistakenly thinks that she is getting married to Prem. Later at a preparation ceremony, she finds out that she is marrying Rajesh. Prem and Nisha agree to sacrifice their love for Rajesh and the baby. At the wedding, Nisha gives Tuffy [Prems dog] the necklace that her sister had given her together with a letter, to pass it to Prem. Tuffy gives the necklace and letter to Rajesh and he realises that Prem loves Nisha. In the end, he confronts them and Nisha and Prem marry each other.
