Shekhar s ambitious and conniving father, Navin Rai is against their match as Lalita has no money and has been raised by a middle-class family. Matters come to a head when Lalita decides to take the young and enterprising businessman, Girish s help to save the fortunes of her adoptive family. But this act of selflessness leads to a crack in her relationship with Shekhar.
