Because he wrote the lyrics and then died.

He was credited as the lyricist also, so I guess he was working on this film right before he died (2002).

And Rani is a single girl in the city who easily lies if she thinks it will make things better for those around her (like lying to her boss in order to go to a family wedding). Ajay just proposed to Sonali Bendre by building her a house, and she turned him down because he is too much of a dreamer.

Rani is an orphan who craves a family. Ajay is an architect who has big dreams. He impulsively buys a place to build a house for his childhood friend/fiance, Sonali Bendre but she rejects him because he doesn’t have a plan for how he plans to pay for all this.
