Sanjana has a pet parrot at home named Raja. Sanjana wants a boy who considers her family as his own family and is not afraid to stay with him, if required. Roopa (Tannaz Irani) - Sanjana's older sister who has settled in the U.S., phones her parents and informs them that her friend Prem has seen Sanjana's picture and is interested in getting to know her.

Roopa asks SatyaPrakash to host Prem Kumar in their Tauji's farmhouse. Sanjana is not pleased with this development, and she eventually meets Prem (Hrithik Roshan).

Sanjana admits to Mrs Kapoor that she likes Prem, but their interests and hobbies don't match. Mrs Kapoor advises her that only love matters, and interests can be different or same. She convinces Sanjana that Prem loves her and that's all that matters. Valentine's day and they attend a party where the hosts organize 5 games for the couples 1. Draping a sari around the girl (Prem loses as Rustom cheats with a stitched sari and cheating is allowed) 2. Find the sandal of the girl (Rustom again wins by having a 3rd sandal of the same make in his back pocket) 3. Make a burger (Prem wins when Rustom gets a samosa from a vendor) 4. find your girl with a blindfold (Prem wins again) 5. Tatto your girl's name on your arm (Prem wins as almost everyone else backs out).

Rather, he is Prem Kishen, an employee in Prem Kumar's company. Susheela tells Roopa that Sanjana loves Prem Kishen now, but Roopa is adamant that Sanjana needs to understand. Roopa has already spoken to Prem Kumar's mother for a possible marriage. She can't back out now. Prem Kumar's mother is also coming with him. SatyaPrakash is against this, but her mother is adamant. She even decides not to tell anything to Sanjana and just let nature take its course. Prem returns to the U.S. for work and promises Sanjana that he will be back soon. He tells Sanjana to take care of his boss Prem Kumar.
