==Plot==
An unemployed young man named Deepak ([[Pradeep Kumar]]) saves Aarti Gupta ([[Meena Kumari]]), a hardworking and dedicated doctor, from drowning, and the two eventually fall in love with each other, although her parent have already engaged her to marry Dr. Prakash ([[Ashok Kumar]]). Although Aarti's father firmly disapproves of this relationship, Deepak and Aarti marry. She moves in with him and his family, which includes his father (Jagirdar), elder brother, Niranjan (Ramesh Deo), sister-in-law, Jaswanti ([[Shashikala]]) and their three children. Prakash (Aarti's former fiancé) happens to be a friend of this family, as also of Aarti's natal family, and he keeps up his visits to both families. This brings a discord in Aarti's marital life, so much so that Deepak asks her to leave, and she returns to her father's house. This is followed by Deepak having a serious accident, when Prakash is the only surgeon who can operate on him. He agrees to operate on him only if Aarti promises to come back to him and forget her husband.
