[edit] Synopsis

In the film, Abhishek plays an Army Captain Karan Khanna, a chivalrous young gentleman, whose generosity in helping Sahiba Grewal (Aishwarya), a maiden in distress, lands him in invidious circumstances.

Sahiba is an ambitious girl. She belongs to a typical Rajput family in which tradition requires that a girl give her consent readily to marry the man chosen by her family. But being a girl of contemporary times that she is, Sahiba refuses to submit to age-old traditions. To avoid an arranged marriage, she tells a lie that she is already married.

The fake husband is the handsome Army captain of course. Karan, knowing Sahiba’s plight, decides to act as her husband and wins her family's heart. One person whom he fails to impress is Sahiba's father (Amrish Puri).

Sahiba's family consists of a smiling grandmother (Sushma Seth), a jovial uncle (Anupam Kher) who is more a friend than an uncle, an understanding aunt (Tanvi Azmi) all of who take a great liking to Karan.

Meanwhile, Karan and Sahiba fall in love and the duo no longer has to pretend as a married couple. But there is a twist in the tale. Karan has already made promises and commitments to his one-time close friend (Sonali Bendre). How he goes through this emotional ordeal and wins the lady of his dreams is what Dhai Akshar's climax is all about.
