Aaina (English: Mirror), is a 1993 Bollywood romantic drama directed by Deepak Sareen, produced by Yash Chopra and independently produced by his wife Pamela Chopra. It stars Juhi Chawla, Jackie Shroff and Amrita Singh in lead roles with Deepak Tijori in a supporting role. The film was a blockbuster hit in India, and solidified Chawla's career as a leading lady in the 1990s. Singh's performance in a negative role was highly appreciated and is regarded as one of her career-best performances.[2][3] The film was remade in Telugu as Aayanaki Iddaru (1995), in Tamil as Kalyana Vaibhogam (1997) and in Kannada as Yare Nee Abhimani (2000).
Plot[]
Rajnesh Mathur, a wealthy businessman has two daughters. Roma, the older one is very competitive and has always been spoiled. Beautiful and shy, Reema is quite reserved and usually lets Roma take the spotlight. Both grow up to be entirely different, and fall in love with Ravi Saxena. Always the centre of attention, Roma catches his eye first. Reema is heartbroken but puts on a brave face.
Ravi and Roma's wedding is fixed. Unfortunately, Roma is ambitious to be star in a film and gets an offer on the marriage day. She accepts and leaves Ravi before their wedding. Furious, he marries Reema to save the honour of Mathurs. At first, they're quite uncomfortable. But Ravi eventually falls in love with Reema. Roma returns home in a rage and tells them they'll never be happy as she has been betrayed.
Determined to get Ravi back, Roma is willing to do anything including ruining Reema's life. She creates a lot of trouble like pretending to commit suicide etc. In the end, Reema gives in and leaves her house. Ravi furiously makes Roma understand what the difference is between her and Reema.
