Siddharth (Shiney Ahuja) and Avni (Vidya Balan), the son and daughter-in-law of Badri’s elder brother, return to their native village from the United States and decide to stay in their ancestral palace. This leads to Siddharth’s childhood love interest Radha (Ameesha Patel), who is Badri’s adopted daughter, becoming jealous but she immediately recovers. Siddharth is crowned as the king, his right to the throne.
