Description: The film “Hate Story 3” (2015) follows the story of wealthy businessman Aditya Dewan (Sharman Joshi) and his wife Siya (Zarine Khan) as they inaugurate a hospital in memory of Aditya’s brother, Vikram. Aditya shares an emotional tale of Vikram donating half of his liver to his childhood friend Karan, who suffered from a liver condition.
Unexpectedly, a stranger named Saurav Singhania (Karan Singh Grover) gifts Aditya an expensive car and invites the couple for lunch. During the meal, Saurav makes a shocking proposition: he offers Aditya a lucrative business deal in exchange for spending a night with Siya. Aditya angrily refuses, prompting Saurav to plot his revenge.
Saurav manipulates one of Aditya’s factory workers into contaminating the company’s cola with pesticides, forcing its closure. Aditya blames his trusted employee, Kaya (Daisy Shah), for the sabotage. Kaya travels to Malaysia, where Saurav fabricates a story about his sister’s suicide, claiming Aditya was responsible. Believing his lies, Kaya sleeps with Saurav and agrees to assist him in his schemes.
Aditya assigns Kaya to deliver money to a politician, but this turns out to be a trap, and she is framed for the crime. Saurav instructs Kaya to call Aditya and accuse him of using her as a pawn. When Kaya regrets falsely implicating Aditya, Saurav kills her and frames Aditya for her murder.
As evidence mounts against Aditya, Siya reluctantly agrees to Saurav’s demands to save her husband. It is later revealed that Vikram (Priyanshu Chatterjee) was actually killed by Aditya to secure his position as company chairman. Siya poisons Saurav and escapes with proof of Aditya’s innocence in Kaya’s death.
Aditya prepares to launch a new project, but Saurav emerges alive and confronts him. The two engage in a brutal fight, leaving both severely injured. Ultimately, Saurav kills both Aditya and Siya before collapsing himself.
In a dramatic twist, it is revealed that Vikram survived the plane crash but was left disabled. Saurav turns out to be Karan, Vikram’s best friend, who sought to avenge his friend’s betrayal. The film concludes with Saurav’s recovery and the poignant line, “Relationships are made from the heart, not by blood.”
