Plot
[edit]Vijay is a honest crime reporter. He was raised by his uncle Rai Saheb after his stepmother turned him out of his house. However, on her deathbed, she asked for his forgiveness and handed over her laidback son Anand's responsibility on him. Vijay shields Anand from the world and would-be exploiters. Saroj is a hardworking woman who looks after her blind mother Parvati and her younger brother Chandu. Chandu has gotten involved in a life of crime and has joined a gang. Saroj and Anand become friends. Saroj treats him like a brother but he misinterprets her affection as love. Vijay is suspicious of Saroj's intentions as she comes from a poor background whereas Anand is rich. To shield Anand from her, Vijay plots against Saroj and ends up marrying her when she is unconscious. Saroj decides to honor this marriage despite Vijay treating her this way. Rai Saheb is worried about his wayward daughter Lakshmi. Anand helps Saroj get a job a governess to Rai Saheb's disabled daughter Rani. They begin to treat Saroj as a family member due to her good nature. Anand tells the truth regarding his and Saroj's friendship to Vijay who understands his mistake and begins to grow fond of Saroj. One night, Rai Saheb drops off Saroj at her home where he recognizes Saroj's mother as his estranged first wife. Distressed, he tells the truth about his past to Vijay. Years ago, he had come to the city for survival and met with an accident due to the fault of a wealthy woman named Sudha. When he finally returned to his village after recovering from the accident, he found the village had been devastated by a flood. He thought he had lost his family and Sudha consoled him during that time who he eventually married. Meanwhile, the leader of Chandu's gang decides to kidnap Rani for ransom by assaulting Rai Saheb. Lakshmi apprehends Saroj and blames her for this as Chandu is her brother. Saroj's mother dies in shock but Vijay vouches for Saroj's innocence. Lakshmi later regrets her behavior.
