Kumar is the proud widowed businessman, the father of Ravi (Saif Ali Khan), his only son, his pride and joy. When Ravi grows up, he meets Komal in college and instantly falls in love with her. Ravi mentions this to his dad, who approves the alliance. But due to Ravi's bad habit of bothering many female schoolmates, Komal instantly dislikes him. So along with the idea of his friends, Ravi changes his name to Bharat Kaushal and pretends to be poor and good to get his love from Komal. This later confuses Komal, when she befriends Bharat and sees "him" and "Ravi" to resemble each other physically. But she then believes they're two different guys. This secret is unknown to Mr. Kumar, who later finds out from Ravi about his double appearances on his birthday when the police accuses Ravi as Bharat, Ravi's look-alike who disguised himself as Ravi after killing him in greed of wealth.
