Prem's parents ask for 10000 Rs. in dowry from Shobha's father to fund Prem's journey to America. Shobha's father steals money for dowry from Asha's father and the theft is blamed on Asha's father. Burdened with shame Asha's father flees on the day of Asha's marriage with Amar. Amar's father breaks Amar's marriage with Asha. Asha falls on Amar's feet and requests Amar not to break the marriage. Amar does not listen to Asha and leaves without seeing Asha's face. On the same day Shobha's father gives money to Prem's father and Prem marries Shobha. Prem travels away and returns with the need for a new wife. Amar falls for Asha not knowing that he left her at the wedding altar and that she is his wife (he refused to look at her face). Lies, treachery, deception and intrigue follow the tale as Asha strives to clear her father's name of a crime he didn't commit and Amar falls for Asha, not knowing that the girl he cruelly rejected during his brash younger days is the same girl he is falling for now.
