While in Delhi she meets Ehsaan Khan (Saif Ali Khan), a university professor from Mumbai. Being in the same career field at the same place, love blossoms between the two. Meanwhile Avantika gets a call from New York asking her to rejoin her job. She breaks this news to Ehsaan and expresses her desire to work in the US, Ehsaan agrees and joins her but before that Avantika's father has some reservations about his daughter marrying a Muslim. However, he gives in as the couple has decided to get married. Eventually they get married and move to the USA.
Avantika helps Ehsaan in getting a job at the same university where she teaches and Ehsaan is appointed as a professor to teach Islam and the Modern World. Avantika's life changes when her neighbor Salma (Nauheed Cyrusi) informs her about her domestic house arrest and requests Avantika to help her by contacting her friend Rihana (Dia Mirza), a TV reporter. Salma says that she knows everything & hence her life is in danger & only Rihana can save her. Avantika meets Rihana and tells her about Salma's problem and meets Riyaz (Vivek Oberoi), Rihana's boyfriend and colleague who takes Salma's problem as a case of domestic violence. Riyaz is a war correspondent & favors USA, while his father is a fundamentalist who wants Riyaz to cover the atrocities of US forces on Muslims. Unfortunately, Rihana has to fly out of the city before meeting Salma and Avantika gets her flight information when Avantika gets the travel info in her office while in meeting with Avantika.
That same day Avantika finds that she is pregnant and waits at her house to share this with Ehsaan but when she hears voices coming from their neighbor's house, she investigates and finds out that her neighbors Bhaijaan (Om Puri) and the others are planning to send a member of their group Tahir and blast the flight in which Rihana is traveling. She also finds Salma's dead body in the same basement where this meeting is happening.

Avantika calls Rihana and leaves a voice message on her office number to stop her from boarding the flight. Unfortunately, the plane explodes killing Rihana.
Riyaz, heartbroken and revengeful finds Avantika's voice message for Rihana and begins a mission to uncover the real culprits behind the flight bombings. Riyaz also joins Ehsaan's lectures and soon befriends him.

Time starts running out for Riyaz & Avantika and they become helpless when Bhaijaan advances the mission by 3 days. While carrying bombs in the subway Riyaz's colleague bumps into him and tells Ehsaan & Bhaijaan about his real identity. Riyaz tries to escape and in the chaos, shoots Bhaijaan.
