Synopsis

A rich widow Sulakshana Devi lives with her son Ravi and care-taker Balwant. One day, she receives the news that her son has died in a car accident. Meanwhile, a lady named Kamini approaches her and informs her that she is carrying her dead son Ravi's, child. Sulakshana does not believe Kamini and turns her away. Sulakshana later learns from Ravi's friend Sanjay Gupta that Kamini is indeed the mother of Ravi's child. Sulakshana tries her best to look for Kamini and get her home but to no avail.

Years later, Sulakshana comes across a young man Arun who retrieves her purse from a thief. Happy with his honesty, Sulakshana offers Arun a job. Little does she know that Arun is, in fact, a crook with his eyes and heart set on her multi-crore property.

While Arun gets busy hatching plots to seize her property, Seema and her uncle enter the scene. Then follows a series of comic events and a love triangle between Arun, Seema and Tara Jaisingh.

It is revealed that Ravi's death was not an accident in the first place. What is the truth that awaits Sulakshana?
