She fights a case of hit and run on behalf of her friend, Mukund Dixit (Manish Naggdev), against him and sends him to jail for four days. Madhubala gets engaged with Mukund after he proposes her. In order to teach her a lesson, RK humiliates Madhubala and her family publicly by insinuating that she is his girlfriend. RK humiliates Madhubala's mother’s relationship with Shamsher Malik (Bhupinder Singh), who is Madhu’s guardian but not her father saying that both Shamsher and Madhu’s mother are having a secret affair for last 20 years. Mukund breaks off their engagement thinking that she is having a clandestine affair with RK. Madhu goes to RK’s set and slaps him in front of all. To avenge his insult, RK puts forward an offer of forty lakh rupees for her father’s treatment, who was badly beaten up on RK’s set after he had showed up to kill RK after his[RK] public stunt, and marry him in return. Madhubala agrees and marries RK. RK is a rude and egotistical man who is hell bent on ruining Madhubala’s life. He tries to insult her in any way he can but on another hand is possessive of her. Things begin to get normal and Madhubala begins to fall for RK. RK’s sister-in-law, Deepali Bhatia (Seema Mishra), who was RK’s girlfriend but had married his step brother Sikander Bhatia (Sikandar Kharbanda) because Sikander was being launched in a big budgeted film and RK was a struggling actor at that time, is always flirting with RK and trying her best to win him back but RK has an insult for her antics each time and chides her for throwing herself upon him. Deepali wants Madhu to leave RK but her plan fails everytime. When Shamsher is discharged from hospital, he is determined to kill RK who had forcefully kept her daughter captive at his home. Unaware of the changed scenario, he shoots RK in Ganpati Utsav. It is Madhu who comes forward and saves RK by donating blood to him. She witnesses a big change in her feelings for RK and realises that she is in love with him. RK too develops a soft corner for Madhu and is no longer rude to her.

RK asks Madhubala to leave her family and come away with him to lead a peaceful life because he needs a break and wants to spend his time with her. Madhubala, who is head over heels in love with him, blindly agrees. RK says that he wants to marry her properly before leaving so that they can take their relationship forward. During the wedding, RK suddenly stops and reveals his true intentions. He had never loved her and it was his plan to entangle her in his love and then destroy her life when he leaves him.
