Ajay Singh and his family own and operate "Rajri" a clothing emporium in South Bombay.

Seema is introduced to Ajay's family, and they unanimously approve of her.

What Seema does not know is that Ajay is acutally Assistant Commissioner of Police, Ajay Singh Rathod, who has been assigned the task of apprehending a group of terrorists, that are being sheltered and protected by corrupt parliamentary representatives, with arms being supplied by Pakistan.
