Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) and Anjali (Kajol) study at the ultra-hip St. Xavier's
College. Anjali is a tomboy and though Rahul and she are best friends, they think
of each other in terms of romance. One day, the principal's daughter Tina (Rani
Mukherjee) comes to St Xavier's from Oxford to continue her studies. For Anjali,
Tina is a third member of their gang. For Rahul, however, she is much more.
Anjali finally realizes that she is in love with Rahul, and summon the courage
to tell him about her feelings, but before she gets a chance to express her love,
Rahul informs Anjali that he is falling in love with Tina, oblivious of his best
friend's feelings for him. A broken-hearted Anjali decides to leave the college
mid-term. Tina, having always suspected Andale's true feelings for Rahul, understands
why she is leaving and is remorseful about coming in between two friends but is
unable to stop her.
The film revolves around the story being narrated to little Anjali jr. (Sana
Saeed), Rahul and Tina's eight-year-old daughter through the letters her mother
left for her when she died due to complications at childbirth. Tina tells her daughter
to fulfill her dream and re-unite her father and Anjali, who could have eventually
fallen in love and who have not seen each other for the past nine years.
Anjali, in the meanwhile, has matured from a tomboy to a beautiful lady and is
engaged to be married to Prem (Salman Khan). Anjali jr. finds out that Anjali conducts
an annual summer camp and throws a tantrum to persuade her father to allow her to
go. When Rahul still doesn't relent, she hatches a plan with her grandmother and
sneaks off anyway, leaving behind a note of apology. At Camp Sunshine, little Anjali
befriends Anjali without revealing her identity. Worried about his daughter, Rahul
too arrives at the camp and is stunned to see his tomboyish best friend once again.
The best friends begin to fall in love and everything proceeds smoothly until
her fiancé Prem pays a surprise visit to the camp. While Anjali jr. continues her
childish attempts at dissuading Prem from marrying Anjali, the chances seem remote
as the wedding preparations are in full swing. Anjali returns home to her marriage
and future but at the wedding mandap, Prem startles everyone by giving her away
to Rahul, saying that he sees in her eyes for Rahul the love he never saw in her
eyes for him. And the best friends finally become lovers.
