Preeti Vyas (Aishwarya Rai) is a young woman who bravely comes forward as a witness to a heinous assault carried by Bhavani Choudhry (Mukesh Rishi) and his men on a poor teacher whose land they wanted. The injured man is helped to the hospital by Preeti and a courteous and brave man called Avinash (Anil Kapoor), who holds strong morals and values.
Preeti’s testimony angers the Choudhry family and, as a result, Choudhry’s younger brother, Babloo Choudhry (Puru Raajkumar), rapes her. Subsequently, she becomes disgrace to her own family so she is disowned and ostracised by society, so she leaves her house with nowhere to go.
