Plot[edit]

Anil (Jeetendra) and Shobha (Reena Roy) are in love and are about to marry. Anil goes abroad for a while. He returns after one year and finds that Shobha has married a rich man, JK (Raj Babbar). He is unaware that Shobha has done this to save the life of his sister, Vinnie (Priti Sapru). Vinnie was about to become a mother before marriage. She had only one choice of saving Vinnie's life, it was to marry JK. Only then he would release Vinnie's love, Rakesh (Shashi Puri). He actually wanted to marry Shobha because he wanted to embarrass her in front of everyone because she had embarrassed him in front of his office people. So, Shobha convinces Anil's mother to let Vinnie marry the one she loves. But Anil thinks that she married JK because he is rich. Anil takes a trip somewhere else to forget her. There, he falls in love with a girl named Sona (Parveen Babi). Meanwhile, JK keeps embarrassing Shobha every time. When JK subsequently gets to know that he might die due to too much intake of alcohol, he grows nice with Shobha, and soon they fall in love. Anil marries Sona while JK dies. Anil thinks its Shobha's punishment of what she did that killed JK. But then Anil comes to know the truth and visits her. She is pregnant with JK's baby. One day Anil meets her in the hospital but Sona sees them and she misunderstands their relation. She has a car accident and is soon admitted in the hospital. The doctor says that she is all right, but she cannot have a baby. That night Anil tells the truth about Shobha to his mother and Sona. Suddenly Shobha appears and she gives her own baby to Sona. She says that it is all her fault that Sona couldn't have a baby. Shobha consumes a bottle of poison before coming to Anil's house. She soon dies. Then, Anil and Sona name their new daughter after Shobha and the film ends.
