Plot

Her parents set her up for an arranged marriage with Rohit Malhotra, the son of a friend of Ashi’s parents, and someone who Ashi has never met. To help the two get to know one another before getting married, Ashi leaves India for Switzerland where Rohit is.
While she is there, she learns that Rohit is away on an emergency business meeting and nobody can say exactly when he is to return. and in the meanwhile she meets a man called Bobby, who is smitten by her beauty and strikes a friendship with her. He soon finds out from her that she is frustrated in her failed attempt to meet Rohit. After a week, Bobby cannot help himself as his heart pines for her. So he disguises himself and meets her as the Rohit she has been waiting for all these months.
Ashi is happy that at last, she gets a chance to meet Rohit before marriage and after a few more weeks, Ashi begins to like this new character. But she then finds out from Rohit's accomplices that Rohit is still on his trip and therefore, Bobby's real identity. This doesn't bother her as she is already in love with Bobby and is ready to move on from Rohit.
Upon their return to India, Ashi explains to her family that she met Bobby instead of Rohit and wants to marry Bobby, not Rohit. Ashi's family are at first, reluctant but after a few weeks, Bobby's family comes with a marriage proposal for Ashi.
As the two families meet and agree for the preparations of their marriage, Bobby's mother introduces herself as the manager of the Bank with which Ashi’s father (Kailashnath) is involved in an on-going fraud/embezzlement case.
In the months leading up to the wedding, Kailashnath is summoned to appear in Court during which Bobby's mother testifies that Kailashnath is one of the perpetrators. Kailashnath immediately and furiously cancels his daughter Ashi's wedding to Bobby. Furthermore, he arranges Ashi's marriage to Rohit.

Critical response
[edit | edit source]India Today wrote, "Aur Pyar Ho Gaya is like a Chopra film having a bad day. Missing are the deft storytelling skills and lovely music. Rawail's film, despite the heavyweight brand names (music: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan) is a laboured love story."[2]
