Plot

Naina Catherine Kapur (Preity Zinta) is an angry young woman living in New York City. Her father committed suicide when she was young, leaving her mother Jennifer Kapur (Jaya Bachchan) alone with her and her two younger children, Shiv (Atith Naik) and Gia (Jhanak Shukla). The restaurant that Jennifer operates is financially faltering. Furthermore, Naina's paternal grandmother, Lajjo (Sushma Seth), blames Jennifer for the suicide and refuses to accept Gia (who was adopted by Jennifer) as her granddaughter, blaming her for bringing bad luck to the family. The only bright spot in Naina's life is her bumbling MBA classmate Rohit Patel (Saif Ali Khan).
Meanwhile, Aman Mathur (Shah Rukh Khan) shifts to Naina's neighbourhood. Noticing the sadness of his new neighbours, he intervenes. His well-meaning interference in their activities, his help in reviving their financial standing, and his general optimism soon change their lives for the better. Although Naina is initially reluctant to enjoy Aman's presence, she grows to like him and eventually falls in love with him. Also, Rohit, who has been in love with Naina, is too scared to ask her out. On Aman's encouragement, he calls Naina for lunch where she reveals to Rohit about her love for Aman. Heartbroken, Rohit informs Aman about this. Naina goes to Aman's house to ask him out where Aman lies to her that he is married to Priya (Sonali Bendre).
Aman, it is revealed, is dying of a severe heart condition. Also, Priya is not his wife, but his long time friend and doctor. Knowing that his lifespan is limited, he sacrifices his love for Naina and plays matchmaker between Rohit and her. After collaborating with Rohit, Aman plans a strategy that will make Naina fall for Rohit in six days.This eventually works by the end of the sixth day, but after later arriving in Rohit's house during a conversation between Aman and him, Naina finds out that Rohit sought Aman's help to attain her love. She leaves his house in anger, where Aman and Rohit chase her to the to a train station. Rohit confesses his love for her, but Naina says that he does not truly love her, and only wanted to break her heart. But Aman, desperate to make Naina realize how much Rohit loves her, pulls out Rohit's diary from his pocket and reads a fraction of it. It states how much Rohit loves her and what he would do for her happiness. However, it is later revealed that Rohit's diary was blank and that Aman had actually confessed his own feelings for Naina, pretending they were Rohit's. That night, Naina goes out with Jennifer, who convinces her to get married to Rohit. Coincidentally, that same night, Rohit asks her out to apologize, and also proposes to her. Naina, realizing how much Rohit loves her, accepts the proposal and there is a celebration at the Kapur household when Rohit later phones Aman to tell him what had happened. Meanwhile, Aman's health deteriorates.
The tension within Naina's family also stops when Aman, after accidentally intercepting a personal letter addressed to Jennifer, reveals that Gia is Naina's half-sister through their father's extramarital affair. Jennifer's acceptance of her husband's infidelity is what led to his suicide. Lajjo finally accepts Gia, and the now-united family prepares for Rohit and Naina's wedding. After attending the engagement ceremony, Aman's health deteriorates. Naina, in a chance-encounter meets Priya and learns the truth about Aman's health condition. When she approaches and accuses Aman of lying, he convinces her to get married to Rohit, she accepts and they embrace. Rohit and Naina get married. After their marriage, Aman hugs them tight. Few hours later, he wakes up in hospital. Aman's loved ones visit him. After the visit, he makes Rohit promise that "In the next birth Naina will be his." Aman dies in hospital with Rohit by his side and Naina looking through the window.
Twenty years later, an older Naina relates the story to a grown-up Gia, telling her how Aman taught her to love: herself, life in general, and Rohit. It is revealed that Naina and Rohit have a daughter of their own. Naina ends her story by narrating that while every wife dreams of finding a friend in her husband, she was lucky to find a husband in her friend.
