Veer falls for Zaara the moment he rescues her from a bus crash and eventually compels her to visit his family's village for the festival of Lodi.

Saamiya somehow knows Veer's name, which finally gets him talking: His life as an Indian air force rescue pilot changes dramatically when he meets Zaara (Preity Zinta), a Pakistani girl who crosses the border alone to fulfill her Indian nanny's dying wish to have her ashes taken to her homeland.

Told in flashback from a Pakistani jail cell, VEER-ZAARA introduces young, female human rights lawyer Saamiya Siddiqui ( Rani Mukerji) who's determined to free Veer Pratap Singh ( Shah Rukh Khan), an Indian prisoner who has remained silent and nameless for 22 years.
