Plot

Sweety lives with her mom, maternal grandpa, and grandma. She is very rebelious, emotional and high-strung, and does not get along well with her classmates in school. The reason for this is that she does not know who her father is. All she knows is that she is not permitted to talk about him at home. She finds out that her dad is in Seychelles, Nairobi, South Africa, and runs away there. When she gets to Nairobi, she comes to know that her dad, who she has been so anxious to meet, is living with another woman, Swati Sinha, who is married to another male, and her dad is not at all thrilled to have a teenaged daughter come and interrupt his life and affairs.—rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)

Sweety (Mayuri Kango) lives with her mother Vinita (Navni Parihar), maternal grandmother Shobhna (Suhas Joshi) and Grandfather Taraknath Gandhi (Tiku Talsania). She is very rebellious, emotional and high-strung, and does not get along well with her classmates in school (She picks fights when her classmates call her an illegal child). All she knows is that she is not permitted to talk about her dad at home (Taraknath says her dad eloped with her mom, and never even came to her birth). Taraknath does not like Vinita, as she always confronts him saying that Taraknath never informed Sweety's dad that Vinita was pregnant.

Taraknath consults an astrologer Rustom (Dinesh Hingoo), who says all issues will get sorted if he brings Sweety's dad back. Tarak is angry and arranges a match for Sweety. Vinita breaks ranks and tells Sweety that she met her father in the Seychelles. She got married, but she was a minor and Taraknath threatened to inform the police. Tarak got her a divorce and got Vinita back. Sweety's dad never knew her address and hence never came looking. Sweety runs away to Seychelles on the day of the engagement.

When she gets to the Seychelles, she can't find her dad, whom she has been so anxious to meet. At the airport Rohit Dixit (Jugal Hansraj) has come to receive Swati Anand on behalf of a hotel guest Mr Kishan. When Sweety is questioned by customs about her purpose in Seychelles, and she isn't able to explain anything, she points to Rohit and says she knows him. She tells Rohit that she is Swati (nickname Sweety) and goes with him to the hotel. She convinces Rohit that she is Kishan's daughter and Rohit gives her the keys to Kishan's room. Sweety is lucky as Kishan is out of Seychelles himself with Swati (a woman he is dating) and they both plan to return together in a few days.

One link (given by Vinita) is the death of marine archaeologist, Mr. Kantibhai, who only knows where her dad is. Sweety fakes loving Rohit, so he can take her around Seychelles and then she can meet Kantibhai. Coincidentally, her dad Kishan Khanna/Anand (Anupam Kher) is in the same hotel which she is in. He is living with another woman, Swati Sinha/Anand (Soni Razdan), who had divorced another male. Kishan is not at all thrilled to have a teenage daughter (To avoid being kicked out Sweety says publicly that she is Kishan's daughter, and he is refusing to acknowledge her due to the divorce with her mother) come and interrupt his life and affairs. Swati leaves Kishan when she finds that he has a teenage daughter. Kishan can't get rid of her as Sweety is crying bloody murder. But when the police come, Kishan has a change of heart and allows Sweety to stay.

Mr. Anand and Sweety have developed a father-daughter relationship, unaware to the fact that they are related. Kishan still misses Vinita and carries her photo in his wallet. Swati is staying in the same hotel, but a different room. Rohit doesn't have enough money to take Sweety around, as moving islands in Seychelles needs a helicopter. So, he gambles in the casino and wins big. They reach Kantibhai's house and find it empty. Seems Kantibhai has died. Sweety is distraught. When she returns, Kishan is upset with her for leaving without telling him. He wants Sweety to leave and she gives him a lecture how he is a coward and will die alone and he keeps pushing people away. The next morning, they reconcile, and Kishan promises to help her find her real father.

Rohit is upset that Sweety lied to him, and that Kishan is not her real father as she claimed. She again makes a story and says Kishan is her stepdad and she is here to get his signatures on divorce papers for her mom. When Rohit confronts Kishan, Sweety and upset and tells Rohit that she only used him and was never in love with him. Swati tells Sweety that she is making a mistake and gets her to apologize to Rohit. Sweety is now in love with Rohit. Krishna is convinced by Swati that Rohit is the right match for Sweety. Krishna helps Sweety and Rohit get back together.

Meanwhile Tarak finds out that Sweety is in Seychelles. Swati meanwhile wants to go back to her ex-husband and Kishan agrees. Just as Rohit gets back with Sweety, Tarak arrives and takes Sweety away to Bombay. Kishan takes Rohit with him and follows Sweety to Bombay. Kishan meets Vinita and realizes that Sweety is his daughter. Tarak intervenes and gets Kishan arrested. Only when Sweety agrees to his every wish, does Tarak take back the police complaint and releases Kishan and Rohit. Tarak organizes Sweety's wedding. Kishan responds by getting Sweety drunk by inserting alcohol in her chocolates, which Rohit gifts to her. Sweety misbehaves at the wedding while being drunk and the wedding party leaves in disgust. Now Kishan intervenes and confronts Tarak. He makes Tarak understand that as a father he is allowed to fear, but that does not give him to right to make humans bend to his will. Tarak's entire family turns against him and supports Kishan. Tarak has to agree to allow Sweety to marry Rohit.
