Zooni Ali Beg is a blind Kashmiri girl who travels without her parents for the first time with a dance troupe to Delhi to perform in a ceremony for independence day. On her journey, she meets Rehan Khan, a casanova and tour guide who flirts with her. Although her friends warn Zooni about him, she cannot resist falling in love with him and he takes her on a private tour of New Delhi. But there is more to Rehan than meets the eye and Zooni will have to make a heartbreaking decision.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kajol learned Braille and spent weeks blindfolded; Aamir's Kashmir terrorist role was controversial given real tensions.
The title 'Fanaa' is Sufi terminology for annihilation of the self in divine love—brutally ironic given Rehan's actual destruction.
