Aditya and his wife Ashwini
When the married Aditya
embarks on a passionate affair with his colleague Geeta
, it is just one of the many affairs for him. But for

Aditya will divorce his wife Ashwini and marry her.

scuffle that ensues, Gita dies accidentally. But she

She comes back as a Ghost..
Gita's wild wanton ways camouflage her insecurity. She
knowing well that he is married, has an affair with Aditya.
And she believes he loves her enough to marry her. But the
truth kills her. And then she comes back to collect what's
her due.
Ashvini (Isha Koppikar) is Aditya's pretty, homely
middle-class wife. Her world revolves around her husband
and son. When her husband starts acting strange, she
blames it on stress and tension rather than a vengeful
ghost.

Geeta, played by Esha Deol
Haunted by guilt and Geeta's
ghost, Aditya turns into a nervous wreck. She walks all
over Fardeen's life, and she is impressively scary with a
piercing and considerably disarming gaze
'Darling' is the story of an adulterous husband who is
haunted by the ghost of his dead mistress. It is a pretty
watchable film and it surely does have its scary moments,
The film has good music by Himesh Reshammiya and others.
