Manish is waiting to get a job confirmation from one of the hospitals in Bombay. Neena's sister Sharda (Leela Naidu) lives with her husband Chandrashekhar Verma (Rehman) in Bombay. The two are very much in love with each other. Being childless, Sharda is harassed by her mother-in-law Mrs. Verma (Lalita Pawar). Sharda asks Shekhar to get married again, but he refuses. Mrs. Verma's harassment of Sharda turns to tragedy when two relatives Darwajalal (Jeevan) and Shanta (Shashikala) come to live with them. Neena is also staying in the house with her sister. Darwazalal poisons Sharda, who while dying makes Neena promise that she will marry Chandrashekhar. After Sharda dies, Neena and a distraught Chandrashekhar get married. Chandrashekhar has no interest in Neena as he is still grieving the loss of his beloved wife Sharda.

On arriving at Chandrashekhar's house, Manish is shocked to find the girl he loves, Neena, now married to Chandrashekhar.
