In this vicissitude, Chand is spotted by an eccentric millionaire, Banarasidas (Badri Prasad), who sends him on a wild goose chase with a temptation of wealth if he finds and brings to him his long lost child, Sandhya. Incidentally, Chand again meets Lata, now rolling in money and luxury. She asks him to stay with her, but he gets suspicious of her means in achieving so much in such a short time and declines her offer. The same night, Chand encounters Dhakosla again, who dreading the wrath of the hoax he played uses his wits and takes Chand to Shankar Dada's (Raj Mehra) place with whom he himself is staying as an uninvited guest. Early in the morning, Chand awakens to the vibrations of the music and his inquisitiveness brings him face to face with Lata, in the process of a film shooting. Chand realises the folly of his doubts and he is reconciled. Lata invites them all over to her place for dinner, and there a new doubt creeps into Chand. That Lata might be the lost child of Banarasidas. His attempt to establish the identity turns adverse and loses Lata's love and confidence. Not long afterwards, Chand finds himself entangled in a gang of child lifters and there finding Sandhya (Purnima) rescues her and hastens to Banarasidas weaving a rosy and bright future for the poor girl and himself. His whole dream is shattered when the father learns that Sandhya is soon to become the mother of a child and refuses to accept her back. Chand brings her back to the slums but the people label Sandhya as a Wanton woman and reject her. Chand revolts at the degradation of humanity and man made law proclaims Sandhya as his wife to be, Lest the love for Lata may not deviate him from his determination, he along with Sandhya leaves Bombay.
