Spoilers ahead
Jayantilal “Ratan” Pandey, a ruthless criminal, is finally brought down by ACP S. P. Malhotra. In a hospital room during Geeta Malhotra’s labor, the doctor reveals a remarkable twist: the twins born to Geeta share a reflection bond—what happens to one might be felt by the other, depending on how close they are. Ratan escapes with one baby, injuring Geeta in the process, as ACP Malhotra gives chase. The pursuing gunfight ends with Ratan shot, but the baby he escaped with survives. The child grows up as Raja Salman Khan, while Geeta’s trauma leaves her paralyzed and she eventually travels to the US for treatment. The other twin is raised as Prem Malhotra Salman Khan.
