In her speech she states that she wants to be the woman behind a successful man and even if her life partner is a coward she will help him become successful.
Rishi is smitten by her beauty and Mohan is mesmerized by her words. Rishi sends her flowers to impress her while Mohan records an audio cassette that he sends to her hostel.
Chandini agrees to meet Mohan and they start going out. One day Chandni's mother calls her back to her village and tells her that she has fixed her marriage to a doctor who is willing to marry her without any dowry and also pay for her younger sister's wedding. Chandni tells her mother that she has promised someone else and she cannot marry the doctor. Her mother insists and refuses to listen to Chandni.

She leaves the house with Rishi who takes her to Mohan's village. Mohan's parents refuse to let him marry Chandni without dowry because they need the money for his younger sister Meena's wedding. Mohan's parents also threaten to commit suicide if he marries Chandni.
Mohan refuses to marry Chandni. Mohan tells Rishi to drop her back where he brought her from. Chandni leaves with Rishi, she is sad but she did not want to marry Mohan.
