herself in a fortunate position where she is mistaken to be girlfriend to
Abhishek and gets many new offers. Abhishek tries to confront her on seeing the
news about his affair with her, but falls in love with her instead. Anjali dies
in an accident when the two declare their love and are hugging, Abhishek's car
hits a lorry. As Anjali's family were not in favour of her decision of marrying
Abhishek, he is informed that Anjali has married the person she has been
engaged to and did not care to tell him that Anjali has actually died and visit
him, even when he was in hospital recovering from injuries after the accident.
Abhishek's grandfather had faked an invitation card to Anjali's wedding only to
keep him away from further mental trauma. This angers Abhishek and he starts to
hate women with the generalisation that all women are like Anjali. After a long
gap Aishwarya (Deepika Padukone) joins the company he works in which is owned by his uncle
as an assistant manager. After a stay for a few days in the office, she gets
Abhishek fired and she takes the position of manager. Abhishek now not knowing
what to do talks to his aunt, but is interrupted by his uncle, who is mean to
him. Finally, he takes the job of assistant manager as that is the only job
available. Within a few days they assigned a task at Vienna. The two travel to
Europe on business for ten days and learn from each other. Aishwarya transforms

other but don't express it. Abhishek finds out that Aishwarya is getting
engaged as decided by her family to a very strict family from Mandya. Aishwarya
is aware of Abhishek's feelings for her. Both of them finally speak out their
love. Now, Abhishek, to save his love, drives to reach Aishwarya. At that
moment, Aishwarya will be on a boat travelling to the place where she has to
