Plot

The film starts with the meet of Ayan Sanger, a artist who has recently procured popularity with his non-filmy tunes. He tells the story of his involvement of adore in a flashback. A few a long time prior, in London, a chance assembly in a disco between Ayan and Alizeh happened and they snared up with each other. They get to know each other and ended up companions. Afterward, when they find their individual accomplices are cheating on them, they break up with their darlings: Ayan with Lisa D'Souza and Alizeh with "Dr." Faisal Khan, and the two go to Paris to spend a week together. Ayan falls in cherish with Alizeh but does not tell her since she considers him to be as it were a "companion." One day, Alizeh lurches upon DJ Ali, her ex-boyfriend/lover, who needs to accommodate. In part confounded, but still in cherish with him, Alizeh chooses to go with DJ Ali, and so inadvertently stops hanging out with Ayan and they terminate communication.

A few days afterward, Alizeh calls and welcomes Ayan to her wedding with Ali in Lucknow. Ayan is shaken on hearing this but reluctantly acknowledges the welcome. At the wedding, he tells Alizeh he adores her but she rejects him, causing Ayan to take off the ceremony devastated. At the airplane terminal to board a flight to Dubai, he meets Saba Taliyar Khan, an more seasoned lady and artist, who is clearing out for Vienna. She supports Ayan and gives him a book with her verse and number on it. Ayan peruses her verse and is moved by it. He calls her after three months expressing that he is in Vienna and needs to meet her. They meet at a club, where they move together and afterward have sex. He learns that Saba is separated and has no put for cherish in her heart. They get into a relationship. Afterward, at an craftsmanship display, he meets Saba's ex-husband, Tahir Taliyar Khan, who tells him that one-sided adore is not a shortcoming but or maybe engaging; since it isn't shared, one doesn't indeed require the nearness of the adored to keep adoring them in any case. Ayan, who had blocked Alizeh from reaching him in all ways, at last calls and reconnects with her after being motivated by these words. Alizeh feels truly upbeat and tells him that she missed their fellowship. He starts to send pictures of Saba to her to attempt and initiate envy whereas Alizeh tells him approximately her cheerful life with Ali and expect that he has moved on.

After a few days, Alizeh advises Ayan that she is coming to Vienna and needs to meet him. Ayan welcomes her for supper with Saba to incite Alizeh and make her feel desirous which Saba takes note. Some time recently Alizeh takes off, Ayan goes up against her and tells her that she has no sentiments and is unfeeling. Alizeh says that she does cherish Ayan but not impractically. They have a verbal battle and at that point he strolls absent. He goes to Saba, who embraces Ayan one final time and tells him that she truly begun cherishing him and that some time recently it gets more seriously, they ought to portion ways. She fears that she will get harmed realizing that she will never get the cherish she saw in Ayan's eyes for Alizeh. Their relationship closes and Ayan leaves.

Ayan proceeds to harbor a adore for Alizeh and gets to be a popular vocalist with his channel. He meets Ali one day and realizes that Ali and Alizeh are no longer together. Ali tells Ayan that indeed in spite of the fact that Alizeh cherished him, she was not able to get the cherish she thought she merited. He includes that she has been untraceable for the final two a long time. Ayan, concerned, goes to Alizeh's favorite spot and holds up for two days there, trusting that she will arrive. Alizeh meets him there and tells Ayan that she has been analyzed with arrange four cancer and will not live much longer. Ayan is devastated but they attempt to make the best of their time together. Ayan tries to make Alizeh cherish him, to no profit. This leads to a battle between the two, and Alizeh chooses to take off Ayan as he cannot get it that she cannot fake her sentiments for Ayan fair to make him feel cheerful. The another morning Ayan tries to look for Alizeh, clearly coming to the air terminal and in this way satisfying her final wish some time recently passing. Inevitably, Ayan makes peace with the truth that he and Alizeh can at slightest be companions and nothing more. The screen blacks out and comes back to the show where Ayan, still a prevalent vocalist, is giving an meet based on the cherish of his life.
