Dosti: Friends Forever

Karan Thapar lives a wealthy yet very lonesome lifestyle with his business tycoon father Vikram Thapar, mother Kiran Thapar, and sister Nandini Thapar, as no one has time for him. One day while at the family's farmhouse, he loses his step and almost falls down a deep gorge. He is rescued by Raj Malhotra, an orphan living a poor lifestyle with his abusive maternal uncle. Karan and Raj become inseparable friends, and Raj moves in to live with Karan, much to the chagrin of the Thapar family members who dislike Raj.

Years later, Raj and Karan are grown up; Raj is in love with his childhood sweetheart Anjali Saluja and wants to marry her, while Karan flirts with Leena Bharucha and abandons her. Karan subsequently meets with London-returned Kajal Sharma and woos her. She agrees to marry him. Raj's and Karan's weddings are planned for the same day. Things take a turn for the worse when Leena and her dad, who is employed by Thapar, characterize the friends as flirts. Consequently, Kajal breaks up with Karan, and Anjali's brother cancels her wedding with Raj.

It is later revealed that Raj is in the hospital and is suffering from a fatal disorder. Dr. Aditi Mathur is his doctor, and she is trying to save Raj’s life, and Karan arrives there and hugs Raj in tears. Raj dies 2 years later, and Karan eventually marries Kajal. Karan and Kajal name their child after Raj.
