Indu (played by Shabana Azmi) and DK (played by Naseeruddin Shah) have a happy marriage and have 2 daughters - Pinky & Minni. The tranquility of their life is shattered when DK receives word that he has a son - from a short-term affair with Bhavana (played by Supriya Pathak) during his visit to Nainital when his wife Indu was about to give birth to their first child Pinky. Bhavana did not tell DK about this since she did not want to disturb DK's life. Now that she is dead, her guardian Masterji sends word to DK in Delhi saying that the boy, Rahul (played by Jugal Hansraj), who is 8 years old now, is in need of a home. Despite the objections of Indu, who is devastated to learn of her husband's unfaithfulness, the boy comes to stay with them in Delhi for some time. Rahul is never told that DK is actually his father. Rahul bonds with DK's daughters and with DK. But Indu can't bear to look at Rahul, who she sees as a tangible reminder of DK's betrayal.
Every time I look at You, You're smiling at me
Every time I walk to You, You're running to me
Every time I lift my hands, You're reaching for me
Even in the eye of the storm I look to You, beloved I'm Yours
All I see is a hurricane
All I feel is an earthquake
When I'm weak, You are stronger now
So I walk on water like it's solid ground
Every time I wander off, You're looking for me
Every time I cry to sleep, You're weeping with me
Every time I get back up, You're dancing with me
Even in the eye of the storm I look to You, beloved I'm Yours
All I see is a hurricane
All I feel is an earthquake
When I'm weak, You are stronger now
So I walk on water like it's solid ground
I walk on water like it's solid ground
No eye has seen, no ear has heard
No mind can understand
All the good that goes to those
Who hold tight to His hand
All I see is a hurricane
All I feel is an earthquake
When I'm weak, You are stronger now
So I walk on water like it's solid ground
All I see is a hurricane
All I feel is an earthquake
When I'm weak, You are stronger now
So I walk on water like it's solid ground
