Hasina, daughter of the President of Pakistan, is a very popular singer and performer. She is stunningly beautiful and is the sweetheart of the youth of Pakistan. After her gala performance in Lahore Stadium Anwar, son of the Pakistan High Commissioner in India, introduces Hasina to his friend Anand, the son of the Defense Minister of India. This acquaintance grows into a love-affair, an unimaginable political affair. The two embark upon a seemingly impossible task, which puts their own life at risk, and begins to shake the foundations of the traditional politics in both the countries. It gives headache not only to the ISI of Pakistan and to RAW of India, but to all the global powers. The US and China get interested; CIA, KGB, Mossad and other international intelligence agencies start quizzing about the turn of events. International arms lobby is worried the most; the terrorist outfits in the Indian subcontinent were alerted about the moves and they plan to do something disastrous for the region and for the whole world.
