Plot

Krishna, a business tycoon, meets Pranaya, an orphan who runs an orphanage. Krishna, worried that his socio-economic status may separate him from Pranaya, pretends to be a driver and becomes employed by Pranaya. Pranaya soon learns about Krishna's identity, but she later accepts his love.

Jhanvi, a hot-headed daughter of a businessman Gurudutt, falls in love with Krishna. Though denying the proposal due to a past history with Krishna's family, Gurudutt agrees and Krishna's family asks Krishna about this, but Krishna denies it and reveals about Pranaya to the family. Krishna's family agrees and he marries Pranaya. Before they can enjoy their happily-ever-after, Krishna and Pranaya become victims of a violent attack.

Krishna suffers from retrograde amnesia, leaving him to forget about Pranaya. Krishna's family and Pranaya doesn't reveal anything about it and Pranaya pretends to be Krishna's assistant. Jhanvi learns about this and tries to make Krishna fall in love with her, but Krishna rejects the proposal and soon falls for Pranaya. It is revealed that Jhanvi was actually behind the attack on Krishna and Pranaya as she wants to exact revenge on Krishna for marrying Pranaya. A series of comedic events ensues in which Krishna and Pranaya remarry.
