While studying in Aligarh, Anwar Hussain Anwar falls in love with a veiled woman and is unable to get her out of his mind. Enroute to Lucknow, they meet with Nawab Buland Akhtar Changezi, and subsequently meet with him a few days later so that he can use his influence to secure an editor's job for Anwar with a magazine. Nawab then asks Anwar to teach his sister, Husna, some poetry, to which he agrees, and eventually finds that she is the very same veiled woman. Both fall in love with each other and the Nawab approves of this alliance even though Anwar lives a poor lifestyle. The formal engagement ceremony takes place and arrangements are made for the wedding to take place soon. The heavily indebted Nawab does not realize that soon he will find Anwar in the company of a lowly courtesan, Najma; and pressure will be brought on him to get Husna to marry wealthy Munne Raja - who is all set to auction the former's mansion as well as belongings.

There was a urban legend that at the premiere of Mere Mehboob a mysterious lady draped in a burqa gate crashed the party .The mysterious lady thrust in Sadhana's hands a pudi (mint) containing some leaves. She told Sadhana she looked very beautiful in the movie. A week later Sadhana became very ill and started having her thyroid problem and depression. It was then said that the mysterious lady had done black magic on the leaves and cursed Sadhana. Sadhana was never the same after that night
