Jaideep Sahni
In case you are wondering what is 'Salaam Namaste', it is the name of the radio station that the female protagonist of the film, Preity Zinta (Ambar) works as a RJ in. She is pretty, peppy and vivacious and is also studying medicine. Salaam Namaste is where she was supposed to meet Nick (Nikhil Arora) played by Saif Ali Khan. Nick is a chef in an Indian restaurant in Melbourne.
She interviews Indians living in Melbourne and Nick happens to be one of them. Nick by virtue of his over-sleeping habit does a no-show much to Ambar's anger. She has her revenge by saying a few nasty things about him on air. There is a hate relationship between the two but they have never met each other.
He falls in love with her as soon as he sets his eyes on her not knowing she's the same Amby he hates so much. She too feels the chemistry between them little knowing it's the same Nick. Their identities are revealed soon and both are shocked. Nick doesn't waste any time in telling her that he loves her. Soon they begin living in as friends and become lovers soon although they are stark opposites of each other.
