Unsurprising considering it's Shah Rukh Khan that plays him. They're technically adoptive siblings, but seem to just view themselves as best friends rather than brother and sister. Nisha has been friends with Rahul long enough that he has no hesitation in barging into her apartment when he needs to, while he and Pooja don't even meet until intermission. However, this is reversed in their respective roles in Rahul's life.Pooja's style draws more from the ancient classical style of Kathak (which Madhuri Dixit is a trained dancer in), while Nisha primarily dances in more Western-influenced motions.
Betty and Veronica: Pooja is the sweet, demure Betty who dresses in saris and dreams of true love, while Nisha is the brash, modern Veronica who is generally comfortable wearing and saying what she wants.This trope is somewhat subverted in that while Pooja isn't in love with Ajay and his parents are overjoyed at the prospect, Ajay initiated the whole thing before his parents even found out about it. Arranged Marriage: Pooja is all set to marry Ajay so that she can officially be part of her adopted family until she falls in love with Rahul.Rahul has Pooja's bangle and refuses to give it back until she comes closer. Almost Kiss: One of the most memorable scenes from the movie revolves around this trope.All Love Is Unrequited: Rahul and Nisha have a conversation in the third act in which they basically say this outright, with Nisha heartbroken over Rahul and angry at herself for being unable to be happy for him, and Rahul pining after Pooja and angry that he can't just love Nisha instead.
