Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke (English: Two and half letters of Love) is a 2000 Bollywood romantic drama film. It was the first of seven films in which currently married couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai starred together. The film is a remake of the 1995 Hollywood film A Walk in the Clouds and the 1998 Tamil film, Pooveli.
Sahiba is an intelligent, shy, and sensitive girl attending college a long way from home. She belongs to a typical Rajput family in which tradition requires that a girl give her consent to marry the man chosen by her family. Being a girl of contemporary times, Sahiba refuses to submit to age-old traditions. To avoid an arranged marriage, she lies that she is already married, which angers her father Yogi Grewal.
The fake husband is an army captain, Karan. The two meet after Karan saves Sahiba from a group of men who are trying to kill her; Sahiba explains that she witnessed a murder, and the murderer sent his men after her. Karan decides to escort her safely home. Once home, the family mistakes Karan for Sahiba's presumed husband, and Karan and Sahiba try but fail to tell the truth. Sahiba's family take a great liking to Karan. Sahiba's father, however, does not. At first, Karan is anxious to leave and go meet his friend Nisha, who he has fallen in love with but has not seen for a year. However, being an orphan, Karan soon gets carried away by the love and affection Sahiba's family showers him with. Meanwhile, Sahiba falls in love with Karan. Following a misunderstanding in which the family celebrates Sahiba's and Karan's pregnancy (which did not occur), Karan decides that he should walk out. Before he can, a distressed Sahiba tells Karan that she loves him and begs him not to leave. He leaves anyway.
Upon meeting Nisha, he discovers that she has already married and had never taken him for more than a friend. Yogi, who had finally taken a liking to Karan after learning of the "pregnancy," is angry that Karan left and even more angry when Sahiba tells him that she and Karan were never married. Karan is overcome with grief and guilt for having left Sahiba for Nisha when Nisha did not love him. In his shock, Karan also discovers that he has fallen in love with Sahiba but had been too focused on Nisha to realize it. He decides to go back to Sahiba's house and apologize. Upon entering, Yogi berates him and after revealing that he has arranged Sahiba's engagement to another man, tells Karan to never come back.
