Plot

Neera Singh and Karan Singh are a couple living in London. Neera works in a small company, while Karan is in a big position in an advertising company. Neera is living in bliss until she eavesdrops on a phone call from her husband. That phone call raises a suspicion in Neera's mind. Neera's fears are confirmed, and she tracks down the woman's residence. But when a man opens the door, Neera is unsure of what to do. She tells the man that she came to the wrong address and leaves.

The man is Ashwin Mehta, a painter and an artist with a personal studio. Ashwin is the husband of Sakhi, the woman with whom Karan is having an affair. Ashwin sees Sakhi with Karan and secretly follows them to a hotel. Neera is already present there and gives him evidence of the extramarital affair. But Neera leaves Ashwin in a huff when she sees that he is apparently not angry over the situation. However, they meet each other again. The duo approach a rapport, and Neera even decides to pose for him.

Slowly Ashwin and Neera shed their inhibitions. They start getting attracted to each other and even end up having sex. Their guilt is only assuaged by the fact that they are getting back at their cheating spouses. Neera even lets Ashwin draw a nude of her. All this time, both Sakhi and Karan are unaware of it. However, when Neera says that she hopes Ashwin becomes a big artist and even more successful than Karan, Ashwin flares up and tells her that Karan's only achievement is that he is sleeping with Sakhi. Since Ashwin is doing the same thing with Neera, he has already settled a score. Hurt by those words, Neera leaves him.

The contact between Ashwin and Neera breaks. One day, Neera comes to break off with him, saying that their relationship cannot go anywhere and has to end someday. A heartbroken Ashwin comes home, only to find Sakhi waiting for him. Sakhi seems very happy. She shows Ashwin the nude of Neera and tells him that she likes the painting. Sakhi, who has no idea of the story behind the painting, has suddenly warmed up to the idea of having a baby. Ashwin decides to give a second chance to his marital life.

One day, Neera and Karan are walking by an exhibition where Karan is surprised to see Neera's nude that was made by Ashwin. Neera calmly walks in into the exhibition and faces a pregnant Sakhi shown standing by the painting. Sakhi recognizes Neera and understands the situation. Both Karan and Sakhi are shocked to see each other. Ashwin and Sakhi continue living happily, while Neera calls it quits with Karan and moves out of Karan's home.
