Plot

Aakash, a RJ for Radio Mirchi station in Bangalore, is married to Anjali in Mysore. On their first night, Anjali demands a divorce from Aakash. Instead of showing any kind of frustration, Aakash calmly agrees to give divorce to Anjali, on the condition that it would happen after they move to Bangalore and also requests Anjali to keep this as a secret from his parents, as he fears they would not be able to handle it. Anjali agrees; it is revealed that Anjali was never interested in the wedding as she was already in love with Hemanth, whom she is also struggling to find after her father forbade her to see him again. Aakash had married Anjali due to his parents' wishes, as his love interest Priya is married to a police officer.

As the days pass, Aakash and Anjali face off on various fronts, clearly letting it show that their marriage is on the rocks. However, when Aakash rescues his neighbor from a local goon, Anjali realizes that Aakash is not such a bad person after all. She requests Aakash to help her find Hemanth, to which he agrees. Soon, Aakash manages to locate Hemanth, and also keeps his word by applying for divorce, and as per the rules, the court grants them six month's time if they want to reconsider their application. Anjali learns that Hemanth is a fraud and had demanded money from Anjali's father to end his relationship with her, which leaves her devastated as she feels that her whole life is now ruined.

Dejected, Anjali attempts suicide only to be saved by Aakash in the nick of time. Post this event, Aakash and Anjali undergo a transformation where Aakash helps and motivates Anjali overcome her depression. He made Anjali recognize that her life is full and she should live that life full of happiness. Akash helped her achieve her dream of studying abroad and made all the arrangements to send her to the US for her studies. At the same time Akash also helped his neighbour Ravi marry his girlfriend, whose family was forcing her to marry another man. These events made Akash win Anjali's respect and they become best friends. Soon enough, Anjali realizes that she has fallen for Aakash, who had helped her through so many hardships. However, she realizes that she cannot express her love to him as it would make her look small in Aakash's eyes. Caught in a perpetual emotional dilemma, she struggles to hide her feelings from him. A few days later, the court summons them and approves their divorce.

Anjali is once again devastated as Aakash feels no remorse in signing the papers. Anjali decides that she cannot stay in India anymore and decides to move to the US. However, Aakash begins to feel a strange sense of loss after he bids Anjali goodbye. He later realizes that Anjali was in love with him by seeing the divorce agreement, in which she signed as 'Anjali Akash' which she refused to sign when the application was submitted. And Akash too realizes that he was also in love with her. Aakash rushes to the airport to prevent her from leaving the country. After a tense fight between Hemanth (who wants to avenge the humiliation when Aakash had thrashed him in the nightclub) and his henchman. Aakash and Anjali reunite where he jokingly taunts Anjali that now he has to eat bread jam for the rest of his life, which she always cooked for him as she does not know how to cook.
