Plot

[edit]

Gauri (Nanda) is part of a women's group but resists the changes being introduced by Lali (Shashikala), who has already swayed Sundari (Leela Mishra) and Kala (Mumtaz). This influence troubles Dhanprasad (Om Prakash), the concerned husband and father. Gauri soon meets Amar (Sanjeev Kumar), Dhanprasad's nephew, and they fall in love and marry. However, after Amar is injured in an accident and becomes disabled, Gauri takes on the role of breadwinner. She starts working closely with Gupta (Sujit Kumar), and they grow quite friendly. Meanwhile, Lali continues to encourage Sundari and Kala towards a bolder independence. Amar, sensing a closeness between Gauri and Gupta, becomes suspicious of their relationship, putting strain on his marriage with Gauri.[2]
