Break Ke Baad 2010

Abhay Gulati, portrayed by Imran Khan, and Aaliya Khan, played by Deepika Padukone, share a deep bond steeped in childhood friendship. Aaliya has a passion for acting and the cinematic world, influenced by her mother, a former actress. However, her father abandoned their family, leaving Aaliya’s mother, Ayesha, to disapprove of her daughter’s aspirations. Aaliya, headstrong and craving the spotlight, often disregards societal opinions.

On the other hand, Abhay, whose father Jeet is keen on him managing their family-owned movie theater, has a knack for cooking. Abhay’s aunt, Pammi, lends support as he navigates his path. As their relationship blossoms into romance, the backdrop of Abhay’s sister’s wedding serves as a pivotal moment for the couple. While Abhay dreams of proposing, Aaliya remains skeptical about love and views weddings as futile.

Their differing perspectives on life unfold through introspective conversations, where Abhay, the family-oriented romantic, contrasts sharply with Aaliya’s directness and rebellious streak, which even includes smoking to project a “cool” image. Aaliya’s aversion to marriage complicates matters when she is presented with an opportunity to attend acting school in Australia. She seizes this chance despite her mother’s disapproval and Abhay’s frustration over not being consulted.

Abhay’s determination to support Aaliya leads him to persuade Ayesha to allow her to go, under the condition that she refrains from acting. In Australia, Aaliya faces the strict regulations of her aunt Khaala, with whom she also clashes regarding her late-night outings. Choosing autonomy, she moves into a shared bungalow owned by Cyrus and his sister Nadia.

As Aaliya immerses herself in the vibrant Gold Coast lifestyle, tensions flare between her and Abhay, leading to a period of silence between them. Her new friendship with Rishabh stokes Abhay’s jealousy, culminating in an unexpected visit where Abhay’s insecurities drive a wedge, resulting in their breakup. Abhay opts to stay in Australia, finding work and ultimately discovering a talent for cooking.

With support from his newfound friends, Nadia and Cyrus, Abhay launches a restaurant that becomes incredibly successful. Meanwhile, Aaliya successfully graduates from acting school, but upon signing a film contract without informing her mother, she finds herself in hot water. Recognizing her selfishness, Aaliya steps back to mend ties with her family, eventually earning her mother’s approval to pursue her dreams once more.

When Aaliya returns to Australia for her film shoot, she re-encounters Abhay, who admits he has not moved on. As she attempts to encourage him to find happiness, she is shocked to learn of his impending marriage. Rushing to his side, she confronts him, presenting the very engagement ring that once belonged to her, professing her enduring love.

Realizing the depth of Aaliya’s feelings and her genuine remorse, Abhay reveals his wedding invitation that bears her name, indicating his long-held intention to marry her. In a heartfelt embrace, they reconcile and the film concludes with the couple starting a family, celebrating their love by welcoming a baby girl named Sara, as the credits roll.
