What did Sam promise Maddy while leaving college?
Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein unfolds through the narration of Madhav “Maddy” Shastri. He is the son of Deendayal Shastri, who owns a music shop and dreams of Maddy taking over the family business. However, Maddy’s rebellious nature leads him down a different path. He’s a troublemaker in college, constantly clashing with his academic rival, Rajeev “Sam” Samra. Their rivalry escalates to the point where Maddy tries to frame Sam, leading to a showdown that the professor interrupts. Despite their animosity, Sam leaves college, promising to settle their unfinished business someday.
Three years later, Maddy, now a software instructor, encounters a mysterious girl dancing in the rain in Delhi, leaving him captivated. He later spots her again at a wedding, learning her name is Reena Malhotra. Intrigued, Maddy’s attempts to discover more about her fail until fate brings them together again in Mumbai. Maddy realizes that Reena is about to be engaged to Rajeev, a childhood friend living in the USA, whom she hasn’t seen in years. Maddy is drawn to Reena as the engagement approaches despite knowing she is set to marry someone else.
Why did Maddy pretend to be Rajeev?
Maddy finds himself deeply in love with Reena, but realizing she’s engaged to another fills him with despair. Encouraged by his father and friends, Maddy decides to win Reena’s heart by pretending to be Rajeev, intending to reveal his true identity at the right moment. Over five days, Maddy and Reena grow closer, and Reena’s feelings shift from friendship to love.
Just as Maddy plans to confess his true identity, the real Rajeev returns, shattering Maddy’s hopes. Reena’s shock and disappointment lead her to break off her relationship with Maddy despite his attempts to explain his intentions. Frustrated and desperate, Maddy resorts to threatening Rajeev, only to discover that Rajeev is none other than Sam, his old college rival.
The revelation deepens the rift between Maddy and Reena, with Rajeev believing Maddy’s actions stem from their past animosity. Despite Maddy’s sincere attempts to reconcile with Reena, she remains unconvinced. As the wedding date approaches, Maddy’s desperation drives him to confront Rajeev, but ultimately, he realizes the folly of his actions and urges his friends to let go. However, Reena gradually realizes her feelings for Maddy despite his initial deception.
