The train they are traveling gets into an accident in which Rajesh is separated and raised by an old man. After some time, he dies, entrusting his blind granddaughter Shanti’s responsibility to him. Years roll by, and Rakesh becomes a pop singer and an unbeknownst crush on Dhartiraj's daughter Jyoti. Rajesh is a ruffian who benefits Dhartiraj and dotes on his sister Shanti. Dhartiraj opposes the love affair of Rakesh and Jyoti as he is committed to knitting her with Malpani's son Shakti. By now, friction ensues between Dhartiraj and Rajesh when heinous molests and slays Shanti. Hence, Rajesh abducts Jyoti in vengeance.
