Meanwhile, Vijay goes abroad to pursue higher education.

As fate would have it, she was trapped in the red-light area. She accepted the dancing profession but kept her purity intact all the time and changed her name to Neelam Bai. She gives birth to a female child named as Geeta, here, Habu, a pimp, becomes the brother to Lakshmi and assures her that he will protect her. She kept Geeta away from this atmosphere in a boarding school. Simultaneously, Lakshmi kept an eye on her son Pappu. As time passed, her son and daughter grew. When she learns that her son Ajay Singh needs money to go abroad for higher education, she disguises herself and, on some pretext, gives money to her son. She now has only one ambition left: to see her daughter married to a good boy, but when everything seems smooth, Moti Seth, a one-time ardent admirer of Lakshmi, casts his evil eye on her daughter. Ultimately, Lakshmi gives poison to Moti Seth and murders him. The court trial starts, and to her surprise, the Public prosecutor accusing her is none else but her son Ajay / Pappu, who denounces her when she collapses, calling them by his pet name. Here, Ajay learns the actuality from Habu. At last, Lakshmi is guilty and penalized when the children understand her eminence, and Kishan steps in to marry Geeta. Finally, the movie ends with Lakshmi breathing her last. [6]
