Ever since she was a small child, Roshni (Sridevi) had only one question which haunted her - who her father was. She grew leading a very restricted life at home, not really conscious of how beautiful she was, or how well she sang. This musical talent of hers was promoted by Rahul (Rahul Roy) a charming young man, who seemed to be head over heels in love with her, and who appeared to have all the connections to launch her into a musical career. She became an instant star, and the crowd went wild over her, throughout the country. An unlikely fan of hers was Jagannath (Sanjay Dutt), the man who was the principal black marketeer of her show tickets. He not only fell in love with her, but he started following her around everywhere.

When she spoke to him about this, he said, with all sincerity, that he wanted to marry her. She tried to make him understand that between the rich and the poor, any relationship had a tough time sustaining, certainly a romantic relationship had no chance where there was such a difference in class. He laughed at her notion, and said if money was bothering her, then he could get her whatever she wanted in no time at all. Indeed in no time at all, Jagannath brought to her a Mercedes Benz to take to her bunglow - both the car and the house he said, he had bought for her. But how had he done that, she asked shocked. Almost innocently he said that he had robbed a bank. She was stunned, but touched that Jagannath had done such a dangerous thing for her sake. Jagannath managed to run away from the police, who were after him, but now he was quite sure that Roshni was the girl for him.
