Soon enough Dr. Neha Mathur (Singh) walks into Akash's life and they eventually fall in love with each other. However the arrival of Soniya Kapoor (Zinta) changes everything between them. Soniya is a rich, arrogant woman who is used to having things her own way and it isn't long before she wants Akash for herself. She decides that since Akash is the man for her, she can latch on to him by literally 'buying' his love through financial agreement.
