Sheetal is naturally enraged by this unexpected roadblock.
Rajat transforms Tulsi and sure enough, Tulsi starts gaining market. Tulsi has no other option but to go along with his decision. Rajat, in utter desperation, decides to launch Tulsi as a new model. Little does she know that she is going to be the turning point of rest of the story. She is helpless even as Rajat stumbles deeper into the mess. When Sheetal learns of Mukta's pregnancy, she sees to it that Rajat never learns about it.Īll this is witnessed by Tulsi ( Sridevi), Rajat's housemaid. Tulsi decides to bear the child and she decides to give the child to Mukta and spreads the lie that it is Mukta's child. Mukta becomes a recluse when Rajat leaves her and when she learns of Rajat's intention to divorce her. Mukta tries to reconcile, but Sheetal coldly informs her that she has lost Rajat to Sheetal for good, no matter what the case appears to be and Sheetal lies that she needs Mukta's signature so that Rajat can divorce Mukta. Meanwhile, Mukta discovers that Tulsi is pregnant with Rajat's child and the housemaid dies when the slum dwellers make fun of Tulsi for being pregnant without marriage. He starts drinking excessively and causes headlines for all the wrong reasons. Rajat says he is ready to sign divorce-related papers.Īfter that, Rajat goes downhill. Finally, Rajat too is unable to take this and calls it quits. However, with each day, Mukta's suspicion and bitterness towards Rajat grows stronger. Rajat tries to assuage her and assures that there is no such thing going on between him and Sheetal. While Rajat is seen heavily drunk in the road, Sheetal brings him to her home and calls up Mukta to inform her that Rajat stayed with her the whole night. She starts spreading false rumours about Rajat and herself having an affair so that she can destroy Mukta's marriage. Sheetal, however, is unhappy as her need for power and attention is increasing. Next day Mukta returns to house and dismisses Tulsi as she understands what had transpired between Rajat and Tulsi the earlier day.
However, seeing Tulsi in dress of his wife, he gets excited and sleeps with her. While returning from the launch party of Tulsi, Rajat's car breaks down due to heavy rains and Tulsi decides to change her dress in the house of Rajat. However, one day, while Mukta is away, Rajat realises that to do Shafi Inamdar's show, he can replace Sheetal with Tulsi. This causes huge financial losses to Shailendra Inamdaarp's firm, as Sheetal has become famous and almost no model is ready to step into her shoes.
Rajat terminates Sheetal's contract with his firm. While Rajat decides to not work with Sheetal as she spoke ill of his wife, even his housemaid coincidentally falls ill and Tulsi becomes a housemaid at Rajat's house temporarily.
Tulsi, then decides to work as housemaid in the house of Rajat and Mukta. When Tulsi returns to village, she paints herself as dark skinned so that she can stay in slums. It is revealed that around 7 years ago, when the housemaid's husband tried to sell off his 10-year-old daughter Tulsi, Mukta intervened and decided to take care of the education expenses of Tulsi. Meanwhile, Mukta and Rajat have a housemaid at their house. She learns dance from Mukta and music is created by Rajat for her to dance professionally in advertisements. She even makes advances on Rajat, who rejects all of them. Sheetal is an upcoming model who will stop at nothing to reach the top and stay there. Later Rajat becomes the head of music composing for a leading advertising firm. However, it is learnt that Mukta cannot bear kids. Rajat and Mukta get married and everything is hunky-dory for some days. However, Mukta's father doesn't allow Mukta to marry Rajat and hence Mukta runs away to do a registry marriage with Rajat. At this point, Mukta ( Smita Patil) steps into the witness box and recollects the whole story. The story starts with a courtroom scene where Rajat Verma ( Rajesh Khanna) is being accused of the murder of Sheetal Puri ( Priti Sapru).
