Writer/director Aditya Chopra proves that love knows no distinction in this colorful romance concerning an average, kindhearted Punjab Power employee who enters into a glorious romance with a vivacious and beautiful young artist. To look at Surinder Sahni (Shahrukh Khan), one might presume that the honest, hard-working man has led a mundane, loveless life. Perhaps that was so, until recently. When Surinder meets the fun loving Taani (Anushka Sharma), the sparks begin to fly and the two polar opposites find themselves drawn together by fate. But while the road to romance isn't always easy, for every teardrop shed there's an infinite flash of overwhelming bliss.
