As the colony he lives in doesn't have kids of his age, he wishes to have a girlfriend, when Anupama's "Anu" family moves in. Arjun's family members grew fond of Anu, which sows the seed of jealousy in him. With time, jealousy turns into hatred but on the other hand Anu develops liking for him.

Arjun is poor in academics and is always compared to Anu who is a bright student, irritating him. To escape the torture, Arjun plans to move to Dubai, where his sister lives, on the pretext of doing MBA. With the help of his friend's connection, who owns a Consultancy, Arjun secures an excellent score in GMAT through cheating. His father throws a party and Arjun is delighted and also relieved about moving away from Anu. Arjun is then informed that his application is on Waitlist because he has 1 mark less than other two applicants of the top University he applied to, which only has 2 vacant seats. Just as he agrees to change his University preference, it is revealed that one of the two better scored students is Anu, which frustrates Arjun. He leaks Anu's abroad study plans to her mother, who doesn't want her to study further but instead tries to convince her to get married. With Anu's strong reaction, it turns into a big fight and eventually leads to Anu agreeing to marriage with broken heart.

On the day of Anu's marriage, she kisses Arjun publicly in front of all the invitees. Being helpless, Arjun marries Anu due to family pressure. On their first night, Anu reveals that she overheard a discussion between Arjun and his friends and got to know about Arjun's ill doing that spoiled her study plans. She confesses that the marriage was a revenge plan and Arjun has no other option now but to take her abroad with him to the University. He manages to trick the other applicant to withdraw from the top University. The married couple now move to Dubai.

In Dubai, Arjun and Anu have a Tom and Jerry relationship. One day after coming back from a night party, a mild physical fight starts which turns into romance. Anu becomes pregnant but Arjun is not ready for it as he is not happy in the relationship and asks her to get an abortion. He alleges that Anu is purportedly turning his life into hell by trapping him in marriage and now parenthood. Angered with his allegations, Anu promises that she will divorce him once her study completes and that she doesn't expect even his slightest involvement in the pregnancy.
