The film begins with a student, Ramesh, whose father fixes his alliance with his cousin, Shanti, who has adored him since childhood. Here, Ramesh denies it as he is in love with his colleague Roopa when a clash arises, but Shanti calms it down. Next, Roopa proceeds to her hometown and tells Ramesh that she will call him soon with her brother's approval. Tragically, her brother & sister-in-law died in an accident, leaving their three infants as orphans. Now, as fidelity, Roopa gives up her love by forging her marriage to Ramesh, which collapses him. Shanti recoups him with her idolization when Ramesh discerns her love, and they knit. Time passes, and the couple is blessed with a baby girl, Geeta. Whereat, Roopa returns as a teacher of Geeta when misunderstandings arise in Ramesh's life. Meanwhile, Shanti learns the truth, so she seeks to commit suicide when Roopa rescues her and divulges the actuality to Ramesh. At last, Roopa moves on to accomplish her responsibilities.
