The lovers share blissful moments, but when Nawab's father hears of their relationship, he disowns the son from his life, wealth, and property. Though Nawab's wealth grants him exclusivity, he is worried that Umrao may still offer her charms to other men - an accusation she detests. Umrao's beauty and poetry are enough to catch the eye of Nawab Sultan ( Abhishek Bachchan). The girl turns into an elegant, poetic beauty by the name of Umrao Jaan ( Aishwarya Rai). In the company of Khurshid ( Ayesha Jhulka), Bismillah ( Divya Dutta), and one of the courtesan's sons, Gauhar Mirza ( Puru Raaj Kumar), Amiran learns the art of being a courtesan, or tawaif.
Bua Hussaini ( Himani Shivpuri) and Maulvi Sahib ( Kulbhushan Kharbanda) adopt Amiran and treat her as their own daughter. To take his revenge, he kidnaps Amiran and sells her to a brothel in Lucknow run by Khannum Jaan ( Shabana Azmi). In 1840, a girl named Amiran (Aishwarya Rai) is kidnapped from her home in Faizabad by Dilawar Khan ( Vishwajeet Pradhan) who had been sent to jail based upon the evidence presented by Amiran's father.
