Synopsis : Amrita (Juhi Babbar) had lost her parents in a car crash when she was a child. But her father's best friend, Yashwant Raj Mankotia (Om Puri), came as a saviour in the life of this orphaned girl and raised her as his own daughter. Naughty, bubbly Amrita soon became everyone's favourite in her town, Chamba.

When she reaches the marriageable age, Yashwant Raj brings the best proposal for her, even if it means sending her away to a distant land, far from him. With dreams in her eyes and hopes in her heart, she leaves her doting father and the shore of India.

Once in the west, Amrita finds herself in an alien world, which is hostile and venomous to her. The compromises that she is supposed to make are beyond her comprehension and dignity and she is forced to make difficult choices.

Jay Kumar (Sonu Nigam) is an illegal Indian immigrant who works in a sawmill through the day and spends lonely evenings with his friends in neighbourhood pubs. One evening, when he drives back home, he finds this helpless Indian girl at his doorstep. More than happy to help a needy person, he welcomes her into his home.

Slowly, he realises that Amrita occupies not only his house, but also a place in his heart. Amrita is all that Jay could ever wish for. Like a man besotted, Jay starts showering his love on Amrita and dreams of a life with her, though as a traditional Indian boy, he is too shy to reveal his feelings to Amrita.

Impelled by his friends, Jay gathers courage to express his love to her. But Jay is shattered when he comes to know that Amrita has her own irrevocable past.

Not someone to shed a tear easily, Jay overcomes his anguish to make Amrita's happiness his only goal in life. His four friends also pitch in their own small way to bring a smile back on her face.

But what should Amrita do? Trapped between an unpleasant past and an unsure future, Amrita finds herself at crossroads.
