Rajesh Purohit (Mohnish Bahl) enters the family, and deviously impresses Vijay with his efficiency, and his eldest daughter Priti (Juhi Chawla) with his charm, whereas his main goal is to impoverish their family and take over Vijay’s fortune. Soon, Vijay approves the marriage of Priti and Rajesh who becomes a gharjamai. Meanwhile, Ajay falls in love with Nisha (Karisma Kapoor) and plans to marry her.

Vijay convinces Ajay to first gain experience in the family business, even though Ajay wants to start his own business. However, ideological differences result in disputes between the two. Consequently, Ajay stands firm in his decision to start his own business. He asks his father for economic assistance. When Vijay refuses to do so, Ajay lends a loan. When Vijay discovers this, he is furious and throws Ajay out of the house.

Ajay finally marries Nisha and they move into their new house. In deception, Rajesh makes Vijay sign a power of attorney, which empowers him. This is how Vijay goes bankrupt, and all his fortune goes automatically to Rajesh.

Ajay tries to get close to his father again, which causes a crisis in his relationship with Nisha, who is not pleased with Ajay’s reunion with his family.
