The film was a blockbuster hit and solidified Chawla's career as a leading lady in the 1990s.
[2][3] The film was remade in Telugu as Aayanaki Iddaru (1995), in Tamil as Kalyana Vaibhogam (1997), in Dhivehi as Dhauvaa (1998), and in Kannada as Yare Nee Abhimani (2000).
Beautiful and shy, Reema is quite reserved and usually lets Roma take the spotlight.
Reema meets Ravi Saxena at a bookstore and immediately falls in love with him even though she has admired him through his books.
Whilst Roma is bidding for a mirror and sink, toilet and bathtub, she loses to Ravi.
The next day, Ravi sends all of the things she was bidding for, at her house and leaves his number on the mirror.
When they decide to meet at a café again, a photographer, Sunil Bhatnagar, approaches Roma and asks if he can take some photos of her, for the cover of a magazine.
He sends Reema to the kitchen and she quietly listens to the conversation where Ravi tells Rajnesh that he wants to marry Roma and he agrees.
On the day she was meant to go to the theatres with him, she gets a call from the modelling agency and she is offered to do more shots and she agrees and tells Ravi that she has a headache.
Reema finds a letter from Roma which explains that she wants to do a film and that she wants Ravi to forgive her and that they will get married when she returns.
To protect the honours of the Mathurs, Ravi asks Rajnesh his permission for him to marry Reema which she denies to.
On their wedding night, Reema tells Ravi that she doesn't think that the whole situation is right and that she only wants to stay as a friend to him.
Ravi is then assigned to go on a business trip to Delhi and he phones Reema but Roma picks it up.
Instead, she goes to take a bath at his room and when Ravi enters to change she comes out and this makes Reema angry.
When they leave, Reema goes to her maternal home to stay whilst Ravi and Roma are driving.
He takes her to the honeymoon cottage and confronts Roma that her suicide attempts were fake and that the doctor told him everything.
