Anjali is in love with Dev Chopra who is the poor son of Narendra's late rival Ranjan Chopra, and often cannot even afford to clothe himself properly. Dev also loves Anjali and wants to marry her. Narendra accepts a proposal of a wealthy man from delhi for Anjali but when Anjali puts forward to Narendra and her mother Veena the proposal of marrying Dev, they decide to meet him. Anjali tells Dev not to act arrogant and dress nicely when meeting her parents. Dev ends up disappointing Anjali’s parents by his attitude and arrogance and so Narendra rejects his proposal. Dev tells Anjali that he cannot live without her but she does not want to upset her parents either so she leaves Dev. Upset by Anjali's betrayal, Dev tells all this to his mother Jhanvi, who dies after listening this. On the other hand, Anjali is getting married to Rambhan "Ram" Verma, the boy who her parents believe will be a perfect match for her. Ram is a man of great ideals, who believes in giving a rightful place to his wife and respects her sensibilities. Despite this, he is unable to win Anjali's love at first and their marriage remains on the edge. However, after seeing the magnanimity of Ram's heart in forgiving and accepting her, Anjali realizes that she has fallen in love with Ram and they happily enjoy their life as a married couple.

When Anjali tells Dev that she is deeply in love with Ram, Dev cannot stand rejection for a second time and sets out to ruin Ram's life.This goes on for some time, causing turbulence and turmoil in Ram and Anjali's life. In the end, when Anjali tells Dev that she is pregnant with Ram's child, Anjali begs him to leave her alone. Dev realizes his folly and becomes good.
