Kal Ho Naa Ho is the story of three friends whose relationship is based on unconditional love and emotional empathy with each other.
The setting is New York in present times. Life is quite brooding for Naina Catherine Kapur (Preity Zinta). The cause of her sombre lifestyle is a family tragedy that shook her world and took her happiness away.
Her humdrum daily routine includes her chores in her half Punjabi-half Catholic household in which she has to deal with a short tempered grand-mother, has to look after her little sister and brother besides helping her mother Jennifer [Jaya Bachchan] deal with the family's financial troubles. In short, life could not be drabber for this gorgeous belle.
But things change with the coming of Aman Mathur [Shah Rukh Khan] into the tiny Indian neighborhood where she lives.
Aman is an extrovert person who gets friendly with almost everybody and begins to win everybody's heart with his jolly nature. When he sees the sadness in a young and beautiful girl like Naina, he sets about to bring happiness into her life.
For this he also gets help from his good friend Rohit [Saif Ali Khan], an eligible Manhattan bachelor.
After few initial failures, the two manage to bring Naina out of her dull and gloomy moods and make her genuinely happy. The three become very good friends and every thing is hunky-dory.
But this happiness is short-lived when it turns out that one of them suffers from a deadly disease.
