In Kashmir, Jyoti's creditor Hukamchand (Roopesh Kumar) asks her father for money, but Jyoti expresses her inability to pay, so Hukamchand warns Jyoti's father, she will be in grave trouble. When Deepak does arrive at Jyoti's house, her father lies, saying that he has married her off to Hukamchand. Deepak is heartbroken and returns home.
Badri Prasad (Madan Puri), a rich man and childhood friend of Ramesh, bails Deepak out from bankruptcy and gets Ramesh's creditors to not to file suit against Deepak and to auction the bungalow that he would buy. Deepak feels indebted to Badri Prasad. Badri Prasad had been forcing his friend Ramesh Chander to ask Deepak to marry Asha, daughter of Badri Prasad. After Deepak returns to Bombay, his mother suggests to him that he should now get settled in his life and bring some happiness in his life and so he marries Asha. During the wedding, Deepak observes a woman similar to Jyoti. Deepak searches for the Jyoti's lookalike and finds the woman was actually Jyoti.
Now Deepak knows that Jyoti was not married to Hukamchand and that her father had lied to him. Jyoti had come to Bombay in search of Deepak and tells him that she is the mother of Deepak's child. Deepak decides to end his marriage with Asha and to tell Asha the truth, but Jyoti insists that Asha would not be able to remarry as society might discard her.

Later, Jyoti becomes a popular dance teacher in her city. Asha decides to learn dancing from Jyoti and they become close friends. Asha discloses that her husband is not loving her and he does not even come close to her. Jyoti visits Asha's home and learns that Asha is none other than Deepak's wife. Jyoti tells Deepak to be a true husband to Asha and give Asha the pleasures of married life.
Asha learns that Jyoti and Deepak were lovers before her marriage to Deepak and suspects they are having an affair.
