Plot
editTanya and Sapna are friends. Tanya never liked men from the very beginning. Tanya and Sapna share a relationship that is more than just being friends; they had a physical relationship while they were intoxicated. Though Sapna never considered Tanya a lesbian, she always trusted her as a friend. Tanya has strong feelings for Sapna and is quite possessive about her, and it is not revealed to Sapna. A boy named Rahul comes into Sapna's life, and they fall in love with each other and decide to get married. Tanya becomes envious of the growing closeness of Sapna and Rahul, and her hatred towards Rahul and other men increases. One night, Rahul is injured when a mysterious masked person attacks him. Tanya, who is also a kickboxing champion, beats a male opponent in a fight. Sapna distrusts Rahul when he tries to make her understand that Tanya loves her. Sapna says that when they were drunk, they had sexual contact, but in real life, they are not lesbians, just close friends.
One day Sapna learns that Tanya is a lesbian and she loves Sapna. Sapna starts hating Tanya when she discovers the truth about Tanya. On the same day, Tanya sneaks into Rahul's house and beats him. Tanya tells Rahul that she was the masked person who attacked him and that she loves Sapna. Sapna arrives at Rahul's house and finds Tanya covered in blood and Rahul lying on the ground unconscious; however, Rahul regains consciousness and electrocutes Tanya. Tanya regains consciousness and runs towards Rahul to throw him out of the building's window, but Rahul steps aside, and Tanya falls from the window and dies.
