Roy played a selfish gold-digger who abandons her husband and child, which garnered her critical acclaim and a Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress. However, she rejected the award citing that she was among the film's protagonists and not supporting actors, thus becoming the second actress (after Vyjayanthimala for 1955's Devdas ) to decline a Filmfare Award. [2]

Plot

Kamini (Reena Roy) abandons Anil Mehra (Jeetendra) and their baby son Prakash for her own selfish reasons. A few years later, Anil falls in love with Radhika (Sulakshana Pandit) and marries her. Radhika treats Prakash who is now a six-year-old, as her own son. Radhika meets Kamini in a store and they become friends, not knowing about each other's histories. When Kamini realizes that Radhika is Anil's second wife and her own son's stepmother, she longs to be with Prakash and be a mother to him again. When he has an accident, she donates her own blood to save him. But when she asks Anil to give her son back to her, he doesn't agree. A heartbroken Kamini can only say goodbye.
