) world is picture perfect – she has an adorable relationship with her industrialist father Vivek Devan (Gulshan Grover
) and is on the verge of major stardom as a pop singer. Jai's (Jimmy Shergill
) world is, however, poles apart. As the struggling editor of a near bankrupt tabloid, he dreams of one day having an office in Nariman Point. And to reach there, he searches for a sensational story that'll actually get him there. Jai stumbles upon the secret that pop star Sarena is not the real daughter of industrialist Vivek Devan, who had taken great pains to ensure that on one knew she was adopted. Jai realises that this could be the story he was looking for and goes ahead and publishes it, thus incurring the wrath of Vivek Devan. An enraged Vivek Devan not only takes legal action against the errant journalist, he also tries to suppress any further information about this being leaked. Sarena, however, notices her father's anxiety and confronts him, only to discover that Jai, despite his crude ways of going about it, had written the truth about her. Ignoring her father's protests, Sarena goes in search of her mother. Ironically, at every stage, her companion in her mission is Jai himself, who follows her through the journey from Mumbai to Ooty to get the legal notice withdrawn. With no headway in her search, Sarena seeks Jai's help, inspired by his go-getting ways. As Sarena discovers layer upon devastating layer of truth behind her identity, Jai too learns many things about life. However, on the trip, Jai and Serena fall in love. When Sarena meets her mother, she is glad, but her mother doesn't seem pleased. Sarena's mother, on the other hand, rejects Sarena by stating that she doesn't have any daughter. It actually turns out that Sarena's mother was raped by a polic officer, in which Sarena was the product of that disastrous event. Horrified by the truth, Sarena teams up with Jai team where they fight the law in order to fix the injustice done to Sarena's mother. All ends well, as Sarena's mother is able to get justice, the police inspector gets arrested, and Sarena and Jai get married.
