Aap Ki Khatir 2006

Anu Khanna, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, a London-based NRI who has spent time living in India after her boyfriend Danny ditched her at the altar, returns to London to be part of her sister Shirani’s wedding to Kunal Shah, Suniel Shetty, a New York-based Gujarati businessman who is also Danny’s best friend. The situation is ripe with old loyalties, secrets, and sibling bonds, and the whole family navigates a delicate web of expectations as the wedding approaches.

In a bid to make Danny jealous and reclaim a sense of control over her love life, Anu enlists Aman Mehra, Akshaye Khanna, a witty and earnest colleague, to accompany her as her pretend new beau. This arrangement sets off a chain reaction that pulls in Shirani Khanna, Ameesha Patel, who had previously shared a connection with Danny, and casts a spotlight on the cluster of relationships that connect the siblings and their parents. Arjun Khanna, Anupam Kher, Shirani’s father, and Betty, Lillete Dubey, Anu’s mother who married Arjun after her first husband died when Anu was a child, find themselves drawn into the drama and the unspoken past between the couples.

As the wedding days unfold, Aman finds Anu increasingly fascinating, and their initial arrangement evolves into something warmer and more complex. The plan to provoke Danny becomes a backdrop to a growing companionship that neither of them can ignore, and what begins as a contrivance slowly blossoms into genuine affection. Yet Danny’s past actions loom large: he had used Kunal to get to Shirani, and he clings to a hope that he and Shirani can still be together, a hope that complicates the feelings rippling through the family.

Shirani, meanwhile, makes it clear to Danny that her heart belongs with Kunal. The revelation lands hard on Anu, who realizes that many people knew about Danny’s womanizing ways—and that she was kept in the dark. This moment of truth fractures the surface calm, and Anu finds herself torn between her lingering hurt and the undeniable pull toward Aman. She pushes Aman away in a moment of vulnerable anger, yet the bonds between the two complicate the choices ahead. Kunal, who has treated Aman as a friend, steps in and urges him to stay, signaling that he is willing to sacrifice his own happiness to do what’s best for Shirani and for Anu’s future.

The truth finally surfaces in a way that reshapes everyone’s understanding of love and loyalty. The gathering learns that Anu’s feelings may lie with Aman, not Danny, and her parents gently push her to pursue the man who has awakened her heart. Yet Aman has his own hesitations and leaves for a time, creating a pause that tests everyone’s resolve. In a pivotal moment, Kunal chases after Danny, only to encounter Aman moving away as well. He persuades Aman to rekindle his pursuit of Anu, encouraging him to propose again, while Kunal accepts that he and Shirani were always meant to be together and to marry Shirani.

Ultimately, the pieces begin to fit into a new, quieter harmony. Anu and Aman find their footing as a couple and decide to commit to one another, while Shirani and Kunal acknowledge the depth of their connection and look toward a future as partners. The story closes on a note of reconciliation and renewal, with love redefined through honest conversations, second chances, and the courage to choose what truly matters.

The film’s emotional core rests on the tension between old loyalties and new possibilities, as families learn to navigate pride, jealousy, forgiveness, and the audacious hope that love can widen and deepen when truth is spoken openly. The relationships are drawn with warmth and humor, offering a nuanced look at modern romance within a tight-knit, multigenerational circle.
