Bewafaa (English: Unfaithful) is a 2005 Indian musical romantic drama film starring Akshay kumar, Anil Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Manoj Bajpayee, Sushmita Sen, Shamita Shetty and Kabir Bedi. The film is directed by Dharmesh Darshan who had earlier directed films like Raja Hindustani (1996) and Dhadkan (2000). Bewafaa tells the story of changing morals and values in a fast-changing world, with the tagline "When cultures meet." Bewafaa was produced by Boney Kapoor, with music composed by Nadeem-Shravan. It borrows a lot of elements from the 1963 film Gumrah, and the Telugu hit Abhinandana. The movie was presented by Sahara Group.

Anjali (Kareena Kapoor) is the younger daughter of her Canadian mother (Nafisa Ali) and Indian father (Kabir Bedi), living in the city of Montreal, Quebec. She shares a healthy relationship with her parents but has a secret to hide. She reveals this secret only to her elder sister Aarti (Sushmita Sen).

The secret is her love for a budding musician Raja (Akshay Kumar). Raja is not a rich man, but that does not deter Anjali from loving him. Aarti assures Anjali and Raja that she will convince her parents of their true love.

But unfortunately fate has different plans for them. Aarti passes away on the birth of her twin babies. Circumstances force Anjali to marry Aarti's husband, Aditya Sahai (Anil Kapoor). With the much older and mature Aditya, Anjali migrates to New Delhi.
