Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya

Muskaan Thakur [Kajol] is an orphan who grows up on a rural farm managed by her fiercely protective elder brother Vishal [Arbaaz Khan] and their uncle Ajay Singh, known as Chacha [Dharmendra]. The household leans on family duty and quiet resilience, while Muskaan’s childhood confidante Ujala [Anjala Zaveri] quietly nurses a long-held affection for Vishal, even as he remains emotionally distant. The film follows their intertwined lives as aspirations clash with duty and tradition.

When Muskaan reveals her dream of attending a university in Mumbai, she must convince Vishal to let her leave the familiar fields for the bustle of a metropolitan campus. The move to the city becomes a turning point: she meets Suraj [Salman Khan], a bright but wayward student who is estranged from his father and has a tense, strained relationship with his stepmother. Despite his rough edges, Suraj is drawn to Muskaan, and the attraction grows into a hopeful romance. Suraj’s early attempts to win her over are playful but earnest, and Muskaan gradually opens her heart to him, recognizing a potential partner who might share her dreams and her stubborn determination.

A clash of misunderstandings soon tests their bond. When Vishal visits Muskaan, Suraj’s friends mistake him for her boyfriend and confront him. A scuffle ensues, leaving Vishal battered, but the truth eventually comes to light when Muskaan explains that Vishal is her brother. Suraj apologizes to both Muskaan and Vishal for the trouble, yet Vishal remains wary. He questions Suraj’s seriousness and fitness to be a future brother-in-law, and more importantly, he worries about the kind of influence Suraj might exert on Muskaan’s future. This suspicion sets the stage for a deeper rift: Vishal proposes a arranged match that would keep Muskaan within the fold of their family and away from Suraj, specifically aiming to marry her to the brother of Thakur Vijay Singh as a means to secure a safe, conventional path for Muskaan’ s life.

What follows is a web of loyalties and schemes. Thakur Vijay Singh’s family is involved in a calculated game of vengeance against the Thakur clan, and the match Vishal contemplates is part of a larger strategy that Suraj must unravel. Suraj resolves to prove himself worthy in Vishal’s eyes while also trying to thwart the looming arrangement. He finds work on the farm as a stable boy after a chance encounter with Chacha, who recognises the danger to Muskaan and the couple’s shared ambitions. This practical step becomes a proving ground for Suraj as he demonstrates responsibility, resilience, and a genuine desire to shape a future with Muskaan.

The return of Suraj’s family to the village changes the balance of power. Suraj’s stepmother, still resentful and domineering, insults Muskaan, prompting a bold flight that leads her directly into the path of the Singh family’s henchmen. Fate brings Suraj, his father, Vishal, and Chacha to the rescue, forcing a confrontation that reaffirms the strength of family bonds and the courage to stand by one another. In a tense turn of events, the police are summoned by the stepmother, a moment that underscores the complexity of loyalties and the depth of feeling at stake. Yet through grit and solidarity, the reunited families push back the external pressure, and Vishal ultimately accepts Suraj as a capable, trustworthy future son-in-law.

In the end, the story centers on two people determined to pursue their shared dreams against a backdrop of family obligation and village politics. The romance between Muskaan and Suraj endures despite misgivings, and the families find a path to coexistence, with Vishal granting his blessing and acknowledging that Suraj has earned a place not just in Muskaan’s life but in the broader fabric of their clan. The film closes on a note of cautious optimism, grounded in the belief that love, respect, and perseverance can triumph even when tradition seems to pull in the opposite direction.
