Tina and Rahul marry and have a child -- whom they name Anjali. Tina dies in childbirth, but previously writes a series of eight letters. Every year, on Anjali's birthday, she is given a letter and hears her mother's loving wishes for her. In the eighth and last letter, the little girl is told about her namesake. Where Rahul had been blind, Tina had noticed the older Anjali's change of heart, and pitied her deeply. If Rahul hasn't remarried, perhaps his first love could be the mother that the young Anjali needs and wants.

Rahul has refused to remarry; he has thrown himself into his work with the intensity of desperation. Anjali Jr. believes that the older Anjali can make her beloved father happy again, and decides to help her father reclaim his lost paramour. She soon recruits her doting grandmother (Rahul's mother played by Farida Jalal ) and grandfather (Tina's father played by Anupam Kher ) as accomplices.
