on a beach and signs in it. Her anklet falls into the ocean
and a guy jumps into the water in front of her eyes but
no one sees him resurfacing. However, Geeta did not see
who jumped in the ocean. She dreams about the incident
frequently with the idea that the guy who jumped has died
but her friends ask her to forget it.

On the day of wedding, Geeta nds out that Arya was the
guy who dove into the sea for her anklet and realizes that
he came into her life much before Ajay. She realizes that
while Ajay blackmailed her into loving him, Arya just
wanted to see her happy. Geeta also realizes that Arya
truly loves her, while Ajay was just acting on his impulse
of wanting what he couldn't have. She leaves the wedding
hall in tears and confesses her love to Arya.

MP Avataram (Rajan P. Dev). He likes to irt with beautiful girls and wants them to be his girlfriends. One day

guy who enjoys his life with friends and kids. On his rst
day to the college, he sees Geeta who was just confessing her love to Ajay who was at the top of the college

falls in love with her and proposes to her. She actually
rejects his proposal saying that she is already committed
to Ajay. One day Avataram arranges a party in his house
and it so turns out that Ajay introduces Geeta to his father and persuades him to x their marriage. Ajays father, who initially pretended to accept his sons marriage
with Geeta, turns tables upside down by introducing another girl Lalasa and announces that his son is going to
marry Lalasa. He threatens his son not to marry anyone
except Lalasa. Being embarrassed by the situation and
helpless, Ajay sits down and starts to get frustrated. Arya,
