Soon after, Atin returns to Veena to divulge the mishap and promises to wedlock her. Accordingly, he reaches the village, and that night unintentionally he consummates with Ketki. The next day when he insists on divorce Ketki stuns, yet she signs and Atin quits back to wedlock Veena which is opposed by Chowdary. Hence, Veena exits the house too. Besides, Ketki becomes pregnant when she must face several humiliations, but she stands courageously. Time passes, and Ketki gives birth to a baby boy Munna and resides by serving her in-laws which makes Kamal Nain Singh repent. Ketki works as a schoolteacher, and Nirmal, her colleague, turns as a convenience to their family and treats Munna as his own. So, Kamal Nain Singh suggests Ketki marry Nirmal. Besides, Atin is debt-distressed to maintain Veena’s lavish lifestyle which leads to divorce. Exploiting it, Vikram, a spiteful friend betrays her when she commits suicide. Heartbroken Atin lands in his hometown but his father avoids him. Here, Munna is seriously injured in an accident and longing to see his father. At last, Nirmal brings Atin back and Munna resuscitates him. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the reunion of Atin & Ketki.
