==Plot==<br />
Radha Khanna comes from wealthy family and lives in a palatial house with her widowed father, Rohit. She has a friend Sheela, who also lives in a palatial house, surrounded by some shanty dwellings. One day when Radha goes to Sheela, they witness a young man named Ravikumar singing a song with his guitar. Radha is very impressed with this talented young man, and talks about him with her dad. Rohit invites Ravi to sing at the inauguration of a temple, after which Radha invites him to sing live on radio - and this is Ravi's first step toward stardom and fame.<br />
<br />
Ravi and Radha fall in love with each other and hope to marry soon. Ravi continues to shine with his singing, and is felicitated. At the ceremony, he attributes his success all to himself, much to Radha's disappointment. This is the start of misunderstandings between the young couple, and as a result they stop seeing each other. Unknown to Radha, Ravi has been diagnosed with cancer and does not have long to live, which is why he decided to end things with Radha. <br />
<br />
After sometime, Ravi comes to know that Radha is going to be married to his doctor, Mohan.<br />
<br />
Doctor Mohan (who doesn't know, yet, about the history between Radha and Ravi; he later gets to know) tells Radha about Ravi's illness. Unable to bear that she'll live without Ravi, Radha consumes poison and tells him. Ravi (who is also succumbing to his illness) rushes to Radha's house. After sharing a moment together, Radha followed by Ravi, die beside each other.<br />
