Anna instantly goes head over heels for Arav, but Arav remains focused on his career. Over time, he mellows and the two fall in love. Moreover, Arav's ambitions go on the upswing as the Chairman of the BMW company in the U.S. (played by Shakti Kapoor) gives him a job as a designer. Coincidentally, the BMW chairman just happens to be Anna's grandfather, and he announces the impending nuptials of Arav and Anna.

As this development unfolds, Arav realizes that he has some matters to tend to back in India. He returns there intent on securing a divorce from his childhood sweetheart-turned-wife, Kajal (Priyanka Chopra), whom he had been forced to marry by his parents. However, Kajal is not so yielding.
