Read the complete plot breakdown of Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage (2002), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.

Sapna is the only daughter of a wealthy underworld Don, Pratap Dholakia. She lives in terror of her father and brother Raman Dholakia, whose violence and gang connections keep Sapna confined at home for years, with only her sister-in-law, Nisha Dholakia, for company and comfort. Highly sheltered, naive, and lonely, Sapna yearns to break free and find a sliver of independence amid the danger that surrounds her world.

One night, Sapna attends her childhood friend’s wedding without Pratap’s permission, and on the drive home she is attacked by his rival gang. Rohit Malhotra, a local college student, witnesses the assault and steps in to protect her. They immediately feel a deep connection, but before they can introduce themselves properly, Sapna is rescued by Pratap’s men. Enraged, Pratap forbids Sapna from ever leaving the house again.

The next morning, Rohit learns Sapna’s name from a newspaper article about the incident. He and his friends enter her home disguised as a musical band performing for Navaratri celebrations. Across the nine nights of Navaratri, sparks fly between Rohit and Sapna, and they begin meeting in secret. Although Raman grows suspicious, Rohit charms Pratap and wins his trust when Sapna explains that Rohit was the man who saved her. Rohit even sneaks Sapna out for excursions and brings her home to meet his parents, who receive her with warmth. Nisha discovers their relationship and warns Sapna about Pratap’s cruelty and what he and Raman would do if they found out.

Pratap, hoping Sapna would be safe abroad, arranges for her to marry the son of a wealthy friend in London. He publicly announces their engagement on the last night of Navaratri, shocking both Sapna and Rohit.

Devastated, Sapna ends her relationship with Rohit to protect him from her father and brother. Nisha secretly visits Rohit at his college to return jewelry he had given Sapna, explaining that Sapna loves him so much she is willing to enter a loveless marriage to keep him safe. Undeterred, on the night of Sapna’s engagement party, Rohit whiskst her away to his hostel, reasoning that it would be the last place Pratap would search for her. With the help of his friends, Sapna is disguised as a male student and settles in, tasting freedom for the first time. Pratap assumes Sapna has been abducted by his rival, Kania Pathan, and orders Raman to search for her, violently attacking Pathan’s men. When this proves futile, Pratap has Pathan’s telephone bill checked and spots frequent calls to an unfamiliar number, quickly identifying Rohit.

Raman and his men arrive at Rohit’s hostel but are met with hundreds of Rohit’s peers carrying sticks and bats, showing solidarity with Rohit and Sapna. Pratap appears and publicly berates Raman for coming to the hostel without his permission. He earnestly displays fatherly concern, declaring his approval of Rohit and Sapna’s relationship and convincing Sapna to return home to prepare for her wedding.

Dismayed, Sapna returns home and tells Nisha of her father’s acceptance. Nisha reveals that Pratap deceived Sapna to avoid creating a scene at the hostel and that her father’s pride is more valuable to him than her happiness. Sapna pleads with Pratap, who furiously informs her that she is to fly to London that very night. Under the guise of peace, Pratap summons Rohit to his factory, revealing his true intentions. When Rohit refuses to give up on Sapna, Pratap orders him killed. His men brutalize Rohit and toss him into a gully, assuming he is dead. Sapna overhears Pratap speaking of Rohit’s death and overdoses on pills. She leaves a suicide note in her room and, before leaving, tells Pratap that she wishes to be with her long-deceased mother. Nisha finds Sapna’s suicide note and throws it at Pratap, screaming at him for selfishly ending his own daughter’s life.

As Sapna is escorted to the airport, Rohit reappears, bloodied and enraged. With renewed strength, he fights off the guards just as Sapna starts coughing up blood, succumbing to her overdose. He carries her to a hospital, where she is stabilized. Pratap, moved and humbled, finally blesses the couple.
