On a trip to Darjeeling, she meets Narendra, who is already engaged to a girl named Rama, played by Shashikala. Despite knowing about his engagement, Lata falls in love with Narendra, who reciprocates her feelings.

Their relationship is put to test when Narendra's mother, played by Nirupa Roy, decides to arrange his marriage with Rama against his wishes. With a heavy heart, Narendra breaks Lata's heart and agrees to the marriage proposal.
