Synopsis
Rahul
Khanna (Shahrukh Khan) is a widower who has an 8-year-old daughter,
Anjali. Her mother Tina (Rani Mukherji) has left her eight letters with
a dying wish that one letter be read on each birthday. On her eighth
birthday, Anjali reads her mother's last letter, that tells her the
last wish of her mother. How Anjali fulfills her mother's wish forms
the crux of the story.
Plot
Rahul
Khanna (Shahrukh Khan) and the tomboy Anjali Sharma (Kajol) are
students at St. Xavier's College. They are the best of friends. One day
Tina Malhotra (Rani Mukerji), the principal's daughter, enrolls at St.
Xavier's. She comes from London, and she is beautiful, feminine, and
sophisticated; she is the antithesis of Anjali. Rahul falls hard for
Tina as soon as he meets her and actively pursues her.
However, a comment he makes in class about love, saying he can only
love his best friend, makes Anjali realise that she has feelings for
Rahul. A love triangle begins to develop. Seeing Rahul's interest in
Tina, Anjali strives to be more like Tina and, for the first time in
her life, begins to act more feminine. However, her attempts are only
met with laughter from the rest of the school and from Rahul himself,
although Tina scolds him for it. Anjali is finally motivated to tell
Rahul outright that she loves him, however, before she can, Rahul
confesses to her his love for Tina, leaving Anjali's heart broken.
Anjali leaves college suddenly, despite Rahul and Tina's attempts
to convince her to stay as her train is leaving. When she admits that
she may never return, Rahul, still unaware of Anjali's feelings for
him, feels betrayed that she didn't tell him. They exchange tearful
goodbyes, and Rahul is devastated. Anjali never calls or writes.
Tina and Rahul marry and have a daughter but, due to complications,
Tina dies shortly after childbirth. Before she dies, she makes Rahul
promise to name their daughter Anjali. She leaves her daughter a series
of eight letters, to be given to her on each of her birthdays until she
turns eight. Every year, on Anjali's birthday, she is given a letter
and hears her mother's loving wishes for her; these letters become
treasured memories of the mother she never knew.
In the eighth and last letter, the little girl is told about her
namesake. Where Rahul had been blind, Tina had noticed Anjali's
emotions and pitied her deeply. Tina had always felt guilty for coming
between what she recognised as a deep love. In the letter, Tina
instructs her daughter to find the older Anjali and reunite her with
Rahul. Because Rahul hasn't remarried, perhaps his first love could be
the mother that the young Anjali needs and wants. Taking her mother's
words to heart, young Anjali soon recruits her doting grandmother
(Rahul's mother, played by Farida Jalal) and grandfather (Tina's
father, played by Anupam Kher) as accomplices.
It is revealed that the older Anjali has changed considerably from
her tomboyish college days and is now a beautiful, well-groomed woman,
engaged to be married to Aman Mehra (played by Salman Khan). Though
Anjali confesses privately that she doesn't love her fiancé and will
never love anyone but Rahul, she is set to marry Aman within a week.
When little Anjali hears of this, she begins to pray. Miraculously, her
prayers are answered, and the wedding is postponed to December.
Younger Anjali and her conspirators learn that the older Anjali
will be a dance instructor/counselor at a summer camp. The younger
Anjali begs Rahul to let her go; he relents, with her granny
accompanying her. Her namesake discovers, without the younger girl's
knowledge, the truth of her new charge's parentage. Rahul greatly
misses his daughter while she is away; when she sneezes during a phone
call home, he immediately rushes to be at her side. When he arrives, he
and his former best friend are shocked to see each other again. After a
basketball game reminiscent of their college days and a revealing game
of charades, they soon find old feelings reviving. They share a tender
moment alone, but Anjali is stricken with guilt, since she is engaged.
To complicate matters, Anjali's fiancé arrives at the summer camp, and
Rahul soon finds out that they are engaged. Though hurt by this news,
he tells Anjali how happy he is for her and, interpreting his happiness
as another rejection, she decides to leave camp and move up her wedding
date.
The wedding date arrives, and a deeply unsettled Anjali prepares to
be married, which would mean losing Rahul forever. Rahul and young
Anjali attend the wedding, both of them clearly devastated. Rahul goes
to see Anjali before she descends the stairs and, as a result, Anjali
gets cold feet. Aman, following on something he earlier joked about,
drags her down the steps to the wedding. Aman realises he'd be coming
between a fated love and decides to step aside to let them be together
at last. As the ecstatic Rahul and Anjali gets married, a beaming
vision of Tina appears and gives the thumbs up to little Anjali.
