Plot

In the past Ramkishan Chaturvedi, a rich businessman loses his first wife Lakshmi. They have a 1-year-old son Vivek. Ramkishan remarries the kind Mamta, and Vivek also accepts and respects her as his own mother. Later the two have three kids: Prem, Sangita and Vinod. Seven years later, while trying to save Prem and Vinod from a probable accident, Vivek is injured which leaves his right hand partially paralysed.

19 years later, Prem returns from US after completing his studies. Sangita lives with her husband Anand and daughter Radhika. Vinod is busy in studies. Vivek is still in treatment for his hand. On Ramkishan and Mamta's anniversary function, the four siblings wish them with respect.

Seeing Vivek's love for them, Ramkishan's business associate Adarsh's daughter Sadhna likes him at first sight. Adarsh sends a wedding proposal for her. Vivek agrees and marries Sadhna. Vinod is secretly in love with Sapna (daughter of Ramkishan's colleague Dharamraj Bajpai).

They show the love of Prem and Preeti (daughter of Ramkishan's friend Pritam). Everyone agrees to engage them. Eventually, Prem and Preeti find out about Vinod and Sapna who get engaged too. Ramkishan makes Vivek the managing director of his company.

A bitter turn comes when Anand's brother Anurag cheats on him from inheritance and share in the family business. This incident triggers insecurity in Mamta's mind. Meanwhile, her three friends and Dharamraj fill her head with thoughts as to why Vivek should be in charge of the family inheritance. This makes Mamta very paranoid.

She questions Ramkishan's decision, and wants division of the business equally between all sons. He disagrees as it will divide the family. Heartbroken after finding out, Vivek asks Ramkishan to put Prem in charge of family empire and moves back to their ancestral village Rampur with Sadhna. Vinod accompanies them.

Prem refuses to replace Vivek as head of the family. Vivek convinces him to go along with plan in the interest of preventing further conflict within the family. Prem tells Mamta that he won't marry and can't replace Vivek if she wants so. Eventually, Anurag realizes his mistake and unites with Anand.

Sangita asks Mamta to bring back Vivek. Mamta realizes her mistakes and visits Rampur with Ramkishan. In the hospital, Sadhna delivers a boy. Later, Prem and Vinod marry Preeti and Sapna. Dharamraj apologises realising ill-manner cannot end the love in family. All live happily ever after.

Salman Khan was cast as Prem, marking his eighth film with the same character name. Salman at that point, found the character to be "similar to him" in real life.[14][15] For Preeti's role, Barjatya first approached Raveena Tandon, who refused the part due to it being a multi starrer.[16] Later, Sonali Bendre was cast as Dr. Preeti. It marked Bendre's only film opposite Salman Khan.[14] Bendre said that she knew exactly what she was "supposed to do" for her character, after the narration.[17]

Vivek's role was first offered to Anil Kapoor and later to Rishi Kapoor but after their refusal, Mohnish Bahl was cast as Vivek. For the role, he made it a habit to keep his right hand in pocket, as per the role's requirement.[18] Bahl called Vivek’s character "an opportunity of a lifetime".[15] Barjatya approached Madhuri Dixit for Sadhna's role, who declined. Later, Manisha Koirala was offered the role, who refused due to filming of her film Mann.[19] Finally Tabu was cast as Sadhna.[18]
