When Julie (Neha Dhupia), a girl next door from Goa, gets dumped by her boyfriend, Neil (Yash Tonk), she moves to Mumbai. There, she gets intimate with her boss, Rohan (Sanjay Kapoor). Heartbroken and emotionless, she loses faith in love and decides to become a call girl. A chance meeting with Mihir Shandilya (Priyanshu Chatterjee), a multi-millionaire and one of the most eligible bachelors in town, leads to their instant liking for each other. Mihir is completely besotted by her beauty and, being a family-oriented man, proposes marriage to her. All is well except that Mihir and his family are unaware of the fact that Julie is a high-profile prostitute. During a TV interview, Mihir surprises everyone by mentioning Julie is the 'someone special' in his life. Julie is now in a dilemma. How she tells her future husband about her socially unacceptable profession and if Mihir accepts her forms the rest of the story.[3]
