Story Overview
The story begins with Amar and Prem, two college friends.
Amar is a sincere young man whose marriage is arranged with Asha, while Prem is connected with Shobana.
The marriages, however, do not proceed smoothly.
Financial problems and dowry demands create obstacles. In Prem's case, his elder brother, who had previously opposed demanding dowry, becomes pressured into asking for money because Prem needs an air ticket to travel to the United States for higher studies.
Asha's father is also unable to provide the agreed amount at the crucial moment, leading to the cancellation of the wedding.
Asha's life is thrown into uncertainty.
Later, Amar meets Asha under different circumstances and the two develop feelings for each other.
At the same time, Prem returns from America and has changed considerably. His behaviour creates further tension in his marriage and relationships.
The lives of Amar, Asha, Prem and Shobana become increasingly connected through love, deception, financial problems and misunderstandings.
The story eventually brings the characters face-to-face with the consequences of their earlier decisions.
