IAS Vivek Vardhaan Singh, a righteous officer, takes over the charge of the city as the new District Magistrate. He respects Vidya a lot and gradually starts falling in love with her despite her being a widow. Then there is a corrupt politician Nanku Singh creating hurdles in the ways of both of them in many tasks of development. When Vidya reveals she is illiterate Vivek is furious and hurt. By then even she had fallen in love with him and tries to explain her situation and the whole story to him how she was married off and on the very day of her wedding her husband an army officer was called for the duty and got martyred.
