When Amar and Lekha study in college, they spend time together and finally fall in love. After the exams, Amar cannot take the separation and proposes to her. Her father Ulhas befriends Amar and accepts the marriage. However, Amar's wealthy politician father Shivaji Satam does not as he cannot reconcile to the difference in status.
