Raj Malhotra (Salman Khan) and Priya (Rani Mukerji) are members of high society. Raj is grandson of wealthy industrialist Kailashnath Malhotra. Raj's parents are Ranjit Kumar Malhotra (Dalip Tahil) and Asha (Farida Jalal). Pappu Bhai (Johnny Lever) is the manager of Kailashnath's estate. Pappu has the habit of blinking involuntarily. Dr Balraj Chopra (Prem Chopra) is the family physician.
Raj and Priya meet at a wedding, where Raj gets the impression that Priya has a child. In reality the child belonged to Priya's sister-in-law (Sheela Sharma). Kailashnath dearly wants Raj to get married.Priya's sister-in-law reaches out to Kailashnath for a meeting between the families. After a misunderstanding, where Raj understands Priya's sister-in-law to be his prospective bride, all doubts are cleared and the marriage is set.
They get married and soon Priya gets pregnant. Soon after, Priya trips, miscarries, and becomes permanently infertile. On the doctor's advice, the couple conceal this fact from their family. Kailash has had 2 heart attacks already and he would not be able to take the strain of another attack.Priya knows how much a child means to the family. Raj says that they will adopt a child while they are abroad, but Priya says that an adopted kid will never look anything like Raj. Priya wants Raj to marry again, but he refuses.Priya convinces Raj to have a child with another woman. They decide to secretly look for a surrogate mother to bear Raj's child. No normal girl would agree to Raj's inquires on the matter.
Raj forms a business partnership with Ajay Sharma (Adi Irani), who will market all of Raj's products in Europe.Raj meets Madhubala aka Madhu (Preity Zinta), a prostitute whom he brings to a hotel room. He discusses his situation with Madhu, who agrees to have Raj's baby, for the Rs 10 Lakh compensation offered by Raj.Raj lodges Madhu in a 5-star hotel. But Madhu is very raw and loud. She is rejected by the entire elite ecosystem. Ajay sees Raj with Priya and understands that he has hired a prostitute.After some much-needed grooming (He makes Madhu give up smoking and changes her entire wardrobe. He teaches her how to use cutlery, and gives her a makeover), Madhu meets Priya--who will be left unaware that Madhu was a prostitute--and the three depart for Switzerland together to carry out their plan.
Priya stays in the guest room and asks Raj to sleep with Madhu. But Raj sleeps on the couch. One night, in a heavy snowstorm, Priya makes sure that she gets in a church, giving the entire night to Raj and Madhu alone in the house. Raj finally has sex with Madhu.
Soon Madhu is pregnant with Raj's child, and he happily tells his family that Priya is expecting. Ajay is in Switzerland as part of the business deal with Raj. Ajay starts sexually harassing Madhu until she's ready to leave, upset at the thought that Raj told his friend that she is a prostitute (he didn't).
Although Priya finds out about Madhu's past, she still believes that Madhu should carry their child, and she begs her to stay. Finally, the partner assaults Madhu while (he thinks) she's home alone, but Raj returns in time to save her. Overwhelmed by Raj's kindness, Madhu falls in love with him.
Raj's family suddenly arrives in Switzerland. While Priya reaches for pregnancy-simulating pillows, the family meet the heavily pregnant Madhu and Raj tells them that she's a friend who's staying with him and Priya while her husband is business-traveling.The whole family takes the same care of Madhu, as they do for Priya. Madhu is emotional at being treated as a part of such a loving and caring family.Raj's grandfather Kailashnath Malhotra (Amrish Puri) arranges a religious ceremony and tells Raj and Priya that they are going back to India; this also includes Madhu.
The ceremony is very important, so Priya sends Madhu dressed as herself and her face fully covered. The emotion at the ceremony is too much for Madhu and she becomes conflicted about giving up her child. Priya finds Madhu's room empty and the money dumped on the bed, and pursues her to the train station, only to slap Madhu when she confesses that she loves Raj. By the time Raj gets there, Madhu has gone into premature labor.
The doctor announces that only one--Madhu or her child--can be saved, and Priya asks him to save Madhu. However, both mother and baby survive and seem likely to thrive.Madhu gives the baby to Priya, who quickly settles into a hospital bed with "her" baby. The doctor tells the family that Madhu's child was stillborn.
When Madhu is ready to leave, she promises Raj that she won't go back to prostitution. When he takes her to the airport, he realizes that she loved him and kisses her forehead.Madhu leaves happily, ready, and able to start fresh, as Raj and Priya start their own new lives as thankful and proud parents.
