During childhood, Aman (Sanjay Dutt) is an impoverished and lame orphan who is luckily befriended and adopted by a very wealthy family headed by Mr. Rajiv Varma (Kader Khan). Mrs. Varma has one son called Akash (Salman Khan). Akash protects Aman whenever he is attacked by cruel bullies at school, who make fun of his impairment. Eventually when Rajiv finds out about their friendship, he adopts Aman. Kamla Verma (Reema Lagoo), Aman and Akash's mother. As Akash and Aman grow up as brothers, they bond very closely. Akash's personality is more care-free, flexible, gregarious and he turns into a Roadside Romeo, and a womanizer, while Aman grows up to become more serious and writes best-selling poems under the pen name Sagar. His editor is Anees Saheb (Yunus Parvez), who respects Aman and his privacy. Aman has hidden his poetry even from his own family, lest they figure out the sadness in his heart.

Menaka (Ekta Sohini), Akash's friend tries to seduce Aman to win a bet with Akash. But Aman rebuffs her and she takes it very badly. She insults Aman saying that she was doing charity for a basket case. She calls him a cripple and a beggar.

Gradually, Aman becomes popular and well-known all around town and has millions of fans. One of his fans is a pretty young woman by the name of Pooja Saxena (Madhuri Dixit), who frequently writes letters to correspond with her idol - Sagar. In her letters, she writes of how much she admires him, is in love with him and his poetic abilities and even wishes to meet him one day if possible... Mr. Laalchand (Dinesh Hingoo), Verma's business partner is building a hotel is Ooty. Aman is asked by Rajiv to go to Ooty and oversee constructions. Laxmi (Laxmikant Berde), is Aman's servant at Ooty.

Pooja runs into Aman in Ooty (she runs a book stall in Ooty and Aman had come to buy some books), but does not recognize him (as she has no photo of him), but he recognizes her (as she has sent many photos of herself to Sagar). Aman falls in love with Pooja, but she has no clue that Aman is Sagar or that he loves her. Aman tells Pooja that he knows Sagar and has met him many times. Due to this Pooja spends a lot of time with Aman to learn more about Sagar. She also introduces Aman to her mother Mrs. Saxena (Anjana Mumtaz). One day some goons attack Pooja, while she was with Aman. Aman tries to fight, but is overwhelmed.. Only the timely arrival of police saves them both. Aman realizes that he is not able to protect anyone. One day, as a twist of fate (while Akash had come to visit Aman in Ooty), none other than Akash meets Pooja (and being the vivacious womanizer) falls head over heels in love with her.

When Akash meets Aman in private, he explains to his brother Aman that this time he is really in love - when he finds Pooja coming to meet Aman to give him some new books. Aman is shocked and shaken at this, as he also was head over heels in love with Pooja, but now in order to help his brother, to reciprocate his feelings in an attempt to help, Aman suggests to Akash to pose as Sagar. At this point, Akash does not know that his brother Aman writes poems under name of Sagar.

When Akash does this, Pooja is fooled and overjoyed that she has met her idol finally. Little does she know that the one posing as Sagar is Akash (Aman's younger brother). She is not aware that Aman is sacrificing his love for his younger brother. An insecure and heartbroken Aman looks on, as he knows that many fans (including women) like his poetry, but they will never come out openly and love him when they see his handicap. Gradually, Akash gets really tired of posing as a poet, he messes up the lines many times! Plus his old flings meet him in Ooty and flirt with him, exposing him in front of Pooja. Akash tries to tell Pooja the truth that he is not Sagar, but Aman intercepts his letters and writes different one that give a sense that Akash loves Pooja. Akash thinks Pooja has accepted him knowing that he is not Sagar. Akash's parents arrive and give consent to the proposal. Aman convinces Pooja's mother. the wedding is on

Akash discovers that Aman truly loves Pooja and that his brother, is actually Sagar - through a string of events triggered by a Pankaj Udhas show. Akash wanted Aman to attend the Pankaj Udhas show where he was singing a poem from Sagar. Aman refused. But Akash later finds from a ticket in Aman's trouser, that Aman attend the concert. Akash is confused about why Aman lied to him. Akash then finds out that Aman spoke to Pooja about Sagar, much before Akash arrived in town. Akash realizes that Aman is Sagar. In the house, Akash searches Aman's room and finds all of his notes of poetry and lyrics, confirming that Aman is Sagar. He also finds letters exchanged between Sagar and Pooja. He also finds his own letter that he had written to Pooja admitting that he is not Sagar (which Aman intercepted and never delivered to Pooja)

Akash first flirts with Menaka in front of Pooja to break her trust. Then he tells her that he is not Sagar and to ask Aman, who declared him as Sagar to Pooja. Pooja confronts Aman, but he still wont admit that he himself is Sagar. But she finds Aman was wearing a "Sagar" chain that she had gifted Sagar. Akash musters up enough courage and comes to his senses about what is going on, then he confronts Aman (and brings Pooja with him secretly) with all the above and then Aman admits that he loves Pooja. Pooja witnesses this encounter (behind a curtain) and then after Aman confesses that he loves Pooja very much, Pooja comes out of hiding and becomes upset with both Akash and Aman and leaves their house in an emotional frenzy, confused about this whole fiasco. Later, she meets up with Aman and tells him that she still can't forget him and that she would have loved him if he had revealed the truth that he is Sagar and cries a lot on his shoulder. Eventually, Akash decides to unite Pooja and Aman and sacrifices his love for Pooja.
