Both Bhairavi and Sandeep fall in love with each other and decide to marry, but a man, Avinash suddenly shows up claiming to be Bhairavi's husband. He meets with Sandeep and describes in detail his story and that of their daughter, Kajri. The shocking revelation is that, Kajri lives with the much older Upendranath, who just happens to be Sandeep's father, and plans to marry him.
