Plot
Shivam Sarang, a rich hotelier from Goa, doesn't believe in love or the institution of marriage. But when he meets Nandini, a smart woman who starts working in his hotel, he is attracted to her. He proposes to her but she rejects him because of her past.
A few years earlier she was an orphan who was supposed to marry Ashwin Desai. She didn't love him but respected and trusted him. He loved her so much that he treated her like a princess. He started to teach her how to drive. During one driving attempt, they got into an accident. Nandini was safe but Ashwin was hurt while saving her and was hospitalised in a vegetative state. Doctors said he couldn't move his body at all so it was better to let him go but Nandini wasn't ready. She believed he would come back to her and was living in hope.
After much persuading Nandini agrees that she loves Shivam and she is ready to be with him but two hours of her day will be for Ashwin. Due to his insecurities, Shivam goes to meet Ashwin, but after meeting him, Ashwin dies.
Nandini blames Shivam for Ashwin's death because he met him and made him realise that Nandini is now with Shivam and therefore he has no reason to live anymore. But Ashwin's mother thanks Shivam because she believes that after seeing Shivam, Ashwin was relieved that someone was there to look after Nandini and that's the reason he left the world left happily and not in sorrow.
After sometime, Nandini also accepts the fact that she loves Shivam. Eventually they marry and have a daughter, but again when both Shivam and Nandini get into an accident she forgets everything, her marriage, her daughter, the death of Ashwin. She continues to go to hospital for two hours and talks with an empty bed assuming Ashwin is lying there.
