On a trip, Bhavana is acquainted with Lieutenant Amar Varma and has a crush. However, destiny detaches them, and their whereabouts are not known. In tandem, Keshav Prasad fixes an alliance for Anita but is perturbed to accumulate the dowry when his mate Dayal, a postman, comforts him. Besides, Prof. Dindayal Varma, an altruistic principle of Bhavana, is inspired by her nobility and aspires to knit her with his son. Here, Keshav Prasad is gratified and approves of it. Now, Bhavana must forcibly face the bridegroom; she becomes jubilant to see Amar, and things go well. One night, a woman in trouble knocks on the door of Keshav Prasad to withdraw money from the post office. Out of humanitarian, he violates the rules and is sentenced. Then, Bhavana faces several hardships, but with the support of Amar, she succeeds in wedlock with Anita and graduates with Anil. The next, the Indian army declares an emergency, so Amar pauses the wedding and leaves for the battlefield. During that time, Anil marries his love interest, Aarti, one that humiliates Bhavana. Moreover, hearing the death news of Amar, she is devastated. After some time, Dindayal forcibly makes Bhavana agree to a match. Here, as fate, Amar returns alive, and Keshav Prasad is acquitted.
