Plot

Aya's and Bem's romance is disrupted by Bem's mother on the ground that Aya is from a poor family background. Despite Bem's father repeated suggestions to not interfere in their relationship, his wife continues to follow her own line of thoughts. Carving out elaborate plans, Bem's mother gets her daughter married to a rich guy Sobhas. The guy happens to be an immoral person who maintains illicit affairs with his long time girlfriend Indira even after the marriage. Pushpa (Bem's younger sister) tries to win Sanjoy's (Aya's younger brother) heart as a revenge against her mother who forcefully marries Bem without her consent. Pushpa succeeds.

Due to repeated physical and mental harassment by Sobhas, Bem becomes ill and gets hospitalised. During her stay in the hospital, her son Momocha dies. Bem becomes a mentally retarded woman. She comes back to her maternal home. There, Aya comes to take her. True love triumphs at the end.
