Tawaif

A tawaif was a courtesan who catered to the nobility of South Asia, particularly during the era of the Mughal Empire.The tawaifs contributed to music, dance, theatre, film, and the Urdu literary tradition.-History:...

 (courtesan or some one who willingly or otherwise adopts the profession of entertaining others for livelihood), who accidentally enters the life of Dawood(Rishi Kapoor)who already has fallen in love with an upcoming writer Poonam Dhillon. The situation becomes such that he has to confess that she (tawaaif)happens to be his wife. Soon the Tawaaif makes room in everybody's heart by her softness and intelligence, love and affection. It becomes difficult for Dawood as he cannot forget his first love (Poonam Dhillon), nor Tawaaif (Rati Agnihotri) and also that he cannot tell the identity of Rati to anybody else. However, gradually all problems are solved, misunderstandings removed and Dawood willingly accepts Rati while Suleman Seth (Deepak Parashar) who also loves Poonam, accepts her. The songs of the film were nicely written by Hassan Kamal and composed by Chopra's favourite Ravi. The song 'tere pyar ki tamanna' and 'bahut de kar di' are very meaningful and ear-pleasing.
