Synopsis: Aman (Sanjay Dutt) is a poor, handicapped orphan who is befriended by wealthy Akash Verma (Salman Khan) during his childhood. Akash's parents adopt him and give him their family name, and Akash and Aman grow up as brothers. While Akash is a womanizer, Aman takes to writing poems under the pen name Sagar. The poems get published, and Aman becomes very popular. One of his fans is a young woman by the name of Pooja Saxena (Madhuri Dixit), who corresponds with Sagar. Akash meets Pooja and falls head over heels in love with her. When Aman comes to know this, he asks Akash to pose as Sagar, which he does, and Pooja and Akash fall in love with each other. A heartbroken Aman looks on, as he knows that although women may like his poetry, they will never come out openly and love him when they see his handicap. At the end, Akash discovers that Aman is actually Sagar and loves Pooja, so he decides to sacrifice his love for Aman.

Your rich friend's applause?

To whom you are obligated for life!

Or an interesting story

to spice up you're lonely life?

Tell me why did you do this?

Aman is my Sagar!

Wait. You all go out.

l'll check this out.

You too.

You are pretending to be innocent

despite knowing everything.

Aren't you ashamed to

play with Pooja's life?

Had she ever harmed you?

l thought a storm had approached!

Had it been a storm,

it would have abated.

But you have wrought havoc.

You know very well how many Pooja's

entered and exited from my life.

ln any case when love becomes

binding, l break it ofl!

ls that why whatever you did

so far was a lie, a deception?

Was the claim to love Pooja a drama?

Convincing me that you loved her..

Was that too a pretense?

Fulfilling Dad and Mom's dream

was that too a pretense?

Sending a proposal to her mother

was that too a pretense?

Yes, it was all a pretense!

Very good! Today your hand

caught your friend's collar!

For one Pooja?

What is special about her that

caused a crack in our friendship?

What is special in her that

a wall came up between us?

What's special about her that made

you forget our childhood friendship?

Friendship! Friendship!

l accept that because of your..

... friendship, l achieved

name, fame, love and respect!

But l too possess something.

My conscience, my self respect.

This vile act of yours has

shamed me in her eyes...

l hate myself because of it!

My conscience reproaches me!

l've been made to stand in the

bar of suspicion and disgrace!

lf l knew l would have to

face this day for your friendship...

l would never have made any

move to make you my friend!

Which friendship

are you talking about?

There were no secrets between us.

We were such good friends

who would even die for each other!

Then why did you keep

this secret from me?

Answer me!

Didn't you trust me?

Or did you think l'd break down

or be destroyed if l find out?

No, Akash Verma is not so weak!

What secret?

The secret that wrought

a storm in our lives!

Why don't you say you love Pooja?

Do you have any answer to this?

Why didn't you let me

reveal the truth to her?

...That l'm not her Sagar?

Do you have any answer to this?

Why didn't you tell her you're

Sagar? Have any answer to this?

l have the answer!

You always wanted to see me happy.

You wanted to fulfil Mom and Dad's

dreams so you sacrificed your love!

But you never thought the strategy

you implemented would trap 3 lives!

Mine, Pooja's and yours!

Abhimanyu couldn't come out

of that impregnable battle array.

But l had to break Pooja's heart

to get out of your strategy.

Do you still deny this truth?

Why don't you own up

that you are Sagar?

Yes l am Sagar!

l'm the unlucky Sagar who despite

Ioving Pooja couldn't tell it to her!

But when l discovered that

you too love Pooja..

l cremated my desires,

my dreams in my heart!

Right from childhood, joys and

sorrows played hide and seek with me.

But sorrows were miles away from you.

lf you hadn't got Pooja's love,

you wouldn't have got over it.

That is why l decided to sacrifice

my love at the altar of friendship.

My happiness lies in yours.

l am dependant on these crutches

for every step l take in life.

How could l support anybody?

l am indebted to you for life.

Do me one last favor.

For the sake of my friendship.

Accept Pooja.

Beautiful! Hats off

to your friendship!

One should learn about

friendship from both of you!

Aman, you wanted to turn great in

your pal's eyes. So you did.

By sacrificing your love.

And you're the limit of sacrifice!

By returning Aman's love to him.

But both of you forgot to

think of what would happen to me!

Crushed between the sacrifices

of both you great friends!

My love is not a toy that you can

gift anybody when you feel like it!

l have my wishes, my loves.

How easily you gave your decision.

You never thought what l would

go through when l found the truth.

She'll fall in her own eyes!

She won't do justice

to herself or Akash!

Just once you should have

said, you were my Sagar!

l'd give up everything for you.

For men love is similar to

turning the page of emotions.

But it means her entire

history for a woman!

And l did not give anyone

the right to rewrite my history!

You don't know how much Aman loves me

He has shared every happiness

with me from childhood to date.

He forgot that one thing in this

world can't be shared, your love.

The love of your beloved.

lf you reject his love today,

you'll regret it all your life!

And you'll be able to do

nothing when it's too late!

You won't be able to mend matters!

You wouldn't ever get over it,

if you hadn't got Pooja's love.

And so l decided to sacrifice my

Iove at the altar of friendship!

- See how pretty this is.

- No, not that one.

See how is this?

Very pretty, beautiful. You'll

Iook gorgeous when you wear it.

When will you learn something?

- When you do.

- What?

- Your taste is excellent.

- l've always had good taste.

- You realized it very late.

- l don't mean you.

Did l say you're referring me?

- When did you arrive?

- Just now.

- No intimation...

- Missed you so l just came.

Thank God he thought of us!

Here, look after this.

Pass me those saris. See these.

They are for Pooja.

Won't she look pretty in these?

She'll look like a fairy in these.

A woman knows a woman's choice better.

l'm exhausted mother.

l'll sleep for awhile.

You can fool your mother not me.

Shall l say something? If something

is weighing down the heart, say it.

The weight turns to words and

evaporates from the tongue.

l have always given in to you.

l have done whatever you wanted.

Not as a father but as a friend.

Because l always want

to see this face smiling.

Then why the tears in these eyes?

At times one is so happy that joy

turns to tears

And overllows from the eyes.

- You are lying!

- No Daddy.

You once said life is a gamble.

Sometimes you win,

sometimes you lose.

But in this game

l have won and l have lost!

This house will be

decorated like a bride.

Wedding bands will play.

When the procession leaves..

People will say Rajiv Verma's son

wedding procession is really grand!

Aman's wedding procession.

- Aman's?

- Yes mother.

He wanted to repay our obligations.

Pooja loves Sagar and Aman is Sagar.

And l am just...

You...proved to be very courageous!

l am proud of you son!

How did you come here?

l've brought Pooja.

To unite her with her beloved.
