In time she became close to this man, Ved, and they married. And she eventually met a kind and charming man who owned a jewelry shop. Instead, over time, she found that Delhi, and the world outside Shimla, was not so frightening after all.
She had arrived in Delhi and tried to trace the letter writer but found nothing. To their astonishment they find her, bright and sparkling and happy, at the zoo garden. As Anna bids goodbye to Ira on the train station she receives a phone call from Maya. Anna forgives Ira and persuades Ira to transfer to a college in Delhi. Anna is still mad at Ira for her selfish and childish behaviour which likely destroyed Maya's life, but Ira reveals that she, too, had fallen in love in Shimla, and had lost her love to a motor accident, and now, having lost love, is fully aware of the true consequences of her pranks. Ira is profusely sorry and persists and ultimately accompanies Anna back to Delhi. Ira visits her but Anna is still angry and turns her away. She returns to Shimla to discuss this with her parents. She finds a boyfriend, Rahul, who ultimately proposes to her but she is unable to accept. Over the next six years she sticks posters and makes phone calls and follows every lead to find Maya. Torn by the guilt of her prank, Anna makes it her mission to find Maya in Delhi. Anna leaves without saying goodbye to Ira and they never speak again.
Anna is reprimanded and sent away to boarding school, away from Ira. She runs to dissuade Maya but is unable to do so. Anna discovers, to her horror, that the letter which prompted the decision was written by Ira and had an explicit invitation. One day Maya stuns everyone by announcing that she is selling the house and moving to Delhi to find the letter writer, her long lost suitor. The letters still arrive and Anna observes that Maya becomes happier with each new letter. During this time Anna gets a little closer to Maya. This goes badly Ira breaks her ankle, as does Maya's maid the girls are reprimanded and Anna is tasked with filling in for the maid until the maid recovers. Ira takes the prank further by breaking into Maya's house one evening to steal a photograph. They write letters, vivid and touching and steamy, pretending to be a former suitor, now in Delhi, still pining for Maya. The girls hope that this prank may bring some light into Maya's life. Ira devises a plan to write love letters to Maya. In time he passed away and Maya resigned herself to a dreary and solitary life. This was because he stood to inherit her estate. Maya Devi was, and still is, a beautiful girl but her chacha constantly thwarted her marriage (by berating her and chasing away suitors). Anna's mother explains that Maya Devi lost her father early and lived in that house with her chacha (father's brother) and mother. They are very intrigued by their reclusive middle-aged neighbor Maya Devi who lives alone in a large house (with her two dogs) and rarely goes out. They are particularly close and divide their daytime between school and romance novels and boys and, occasionally, sleepovers. The film opens into the lives of teenage girls Anna and Ira, students at a convent (Catholic) school in Shimla.
