About the Movie Mere Huzoor (1968)
The story begins with Akhtar Hussain Akhtar, played by Jeetendra, who saves the life of Nawab Salim, played by Raaj Kumar. Grateful for Akhtar's courage, Salim invites him to his magnificent home and offers him employment and a place to stay.
During his journey to Salim's home, Akhtar meets Sultanat, played by Mala Sinha, and is immediately attracted to her. Their meeting develops into love, and the two eventually decide to marry.

Although heartbroken, Salim accepts their decision and continues to treat Akhtar with affection and respect.
Akhtar and Sultanat marry and have a son. Salim develops a deep affection for the child and remains connected with the family.
However, Akhtar gradually falls into bad company. He begins drinking and becomes involved with a courtesan named Firdous. His changing lifestyle causes serious problems in his marriage.
Sultanat is deeply hurt by Akhtar's behavior and asks him to change. Instead of accepting responsibility, Akhtar eventually divorces Sultanat and leaves her and their son.
Salim tries to help Sultanat and her child. However, rumours begin to circulate about Salim and Sultanat's relationship. Concerned about Sultanat's honour, Salim takes a difficult decision.
The story then moves through years of separation, regret and sacrifice. Akhtar eventually realizes the consequences of his actions and understands the value of the family he had lost.
