Synopsis

The very popular Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) and the tomboy Anjali (Kajol) are students at St. Xavier College. Rahul has a crush on Anjali, but whenever he tries to tell her how he feels about her, she dismisses his advances as jokes. Later, it becomes clear that she returns his feelings, but is too shy to let him see her vulnerability.

Tina (Rani Mukerji) enrolls at St. Xavier. She is beautiful, feminine, and sophisticated, everything that the brusque Anjali is not. Rahul falls hard for Tina. Anjali, in the meantime, has worked up the courage to tell Rahul that she cares for him -- but as she starts to tell her secret, Rahul tells her about his love for Tina. Anjali smiles and wishes him luck and then flees college in a fit of despair.

Tina and Rahul marry. Tina dies during childbirth, leaving eight letters to her newborn daughter (Sana Saeed), who is also called Anjali. Anjali Jr. opens one letter each year. The last letter tells the child that while Rahul loved and cherished Tina, he had even deeper and stronger feelings for his first love, Anjali.

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 love. She recruits her doting grandparents as accomplices.

The unlikely conspirators locate Rahul's old flame and contrive to make Rahul and Anjali meet again. Rahul soon finds old feelings reviving. However, there is a complication: Anjali has bowed to her family's wishes and is engaged to another man. Complications ensue, but all ends well.

Some strict critics believe this movie is based on the movie Sleepless in Seattle. Both movies involve a young child who wants a mom, and goes to great lengths , such as leaving her home to look for her, to get her. Also, another similarity noted is the TV request to find her in KKHH which is compared to the radio request in SIS.
