Grown-up, Aman and Akash bond very closely. Carefree, flexible and gregarious, Akash becomes a Roadside Romeo and womaniser. More serious, Aman writes best-selling poems under the pen name Sagar due to which his popularity increases and he gains millions of fans. A fan of him is the pretty book store owner Pooja Saxena, who frequently writes letters to correspond with him, revealing she loves and admires him and his poetic abilities. She meets Aman one day; he recognizes her but she fails to identify him.
Akash meets and falls in love with Pooja, and explains Aman that he is in love with her, showing her photo. Shocked and shaken, Aman instead suggests him to pose as Sagar. Akash is unaware that Aman writes poems as Sagar. As Akash does this, Pooja is overjoyed that she has met “Sagar” finally, unaware of the truth. Gradually, Akash gets tired of posing as a poet and not only learns that Aman loves Pooja, but also that he is actually “Sagar”. He confronts Aman and brings Pooja, making Aman admit he loves her.
Pooja meets and tells Aman that she would have loved him if he revealed that he is Sagar. Eventually, Akash decides to unite Pooja and Aman and sacrifices his love, as the movie ends.
