He decides to try his luck in business and travel to Dubai so he can earn enough to get his daughter married. Karan decides to leave her with his old friend Kishan. Kishan, who is now a wealthy businessman in a big city, allows Suman to stay at his house while her father is away as he cannot turn down his old friend's request. Suman is befriended by Kishan's young son Prem, who assures her that a boy and a girl can be platonic friends. Prem takes Suman to a party organised by Seema, who is the only daughter of Kishan's business partner Ranjeet. Jeevan is a proud and arrogant nephew of Ranjeet, who humiliates Suman and Prem, accusing them of falsely claiming to be "just friends". Suman leaves the party in tears and distances herself from Prem. At that point, Prem and Suman both realise that they have fallen in love with each other. Prem's mother Kaushalya probes deeper into Prem and Suman's relationship and approves of Suman as her daughter-in-law. However, Kishan disapproves of the relationship as he is of the opinion that Karan is of a lower status than he is, and is further brainwashed by Ranjeet who claims that Suman has taken advantage of his hospitality and is feigning love for Prem to marry into his wealthy family. Kishan asks her to leave his house. Karan returns from abroad and gets enraged at Kishan's behaviour. Kishan accuses him of plotting to set up Suman with Prem. Karan and Kishan quarrel and part ways thence. Eventually, Karan and Suman return to their village, deeply humiliated. Prem learns about what had transpired and refuses to accept the separation, where he goes to the village and begs to be allowed to marry Suman.
