Taani later tells him that she will try to be a good wife and thus respect her role in his life, but that she can never love him due to having no love left within her after the loss of her former fiancé. While his good nature leads Surinder to treat her with exceptional care – he even lets her have his bedroom all to herself – he is too frightened to profess his love for her. Professor Gupta passes away and after an impromptu wedding, Surinder takes Taani to his ancestral home in Amritsar. Surinder silently concedes because he likes her anyway and as a respect to his professor, while Taani agrees to fulfill her father’s last wish. On his deathbed, fearing that Taani will be alone in the world, the dying Gupta implores that Surinder marries her. The shocked Gupta suffers a major cardiac arrest and is hospitalized. Her fiancé and her entire wedding entourage are killed in a road accident. Surinder “Suri” Sahni is a shy, introverted, and kind-hearted office employee for Punjab Power who falls in love at first sight with Taani, the extroverted, cheerful daughter of his former Professor Gupta at her engagement, but is unable to express it.
