to reality when he rescues her from a fire and they go on a date.
Shortly thereafter he finds out that she is married to a film producer,
Mukesh Mehra, and is expecting his child. He then watches in horror as
Mukesh, after luring her in an abandoned studio, sets it afire. Om
attempts to rescue her in vain, and he eventually is killed. 30 years

when he meets with his widowed mother, Bela, from his previous birth. He
also meets with Mukesh and together they decide to make a movie 'Om
Shanti Om'. Om then hires a look-alike of Shantipriya, and hopes to
force a confession out of Mukesh - but things go awry and Om finds his
life endangered once again.
