He vows to fight the drug menace. An underworld kingpin Raja murders Rana's old friend. Reshma, his friend's daughter, takes shelter in Rana's house. Rajesh is on the drug trail. Reshma's father lost a huge bet (by being tricked) to Raja, after which Raja killed him in a fake accident.

When Reshma goes to live with them, Amar has sex with her in a horse stable. After savoring Reshma, Amar refuses to marry her. When Rana learns of Amar's relationship with Reshma, he warns him that Reshma is not suitable for their family. Reshma is heartbroken but continues to move on with her life.
