star. She is madly in love with Rahul Kapoor (Aryan Vaid), the owner of RK music world. He also loves her from
the core of his heart.
However, when he proposes to her she politely turns down the marriage proposal saying that she doesn't believe in wedlock.

to marry her.
When this reality of Rahul's falling in love with Rashmi is dawned upon Mallika she is shattered. It's a big
emotional shock to her. It's at this juncture that she orders her personal bodyguard Jaidev (Sharad Kapoor) to
knock off Rahul.
However, the next morning when her alcoholic intoxication vanishes, Mallika realizes
her mistake and calls up Jaidev in order to stop him from killing Rahul.
But Jaidev who is a one sided lover of Mallika, is all set to eliminate Rahul. The dangerous game begins... and
