Meena ([[Mala Sinha]]) and Mahesh ([[Rajendra Kumar]]) are madly in love with each other. One day, both of them get carried away and Meena becomes pregnant. On the other hand, Mahesh marries Malti Rai (Nanda), who belongs to a good family. Meena gives birth to a little boy and takes the baby to his father, Mahesh Kapoor. Mahesh disowns both of them, saying that it was his mistake.

Meena leaves the five-month-old baby boy in a dark forest, where a snake guards his life. On the way back from the city, Abdul Rasheed ([[Manmohan Krishna]]) sees the child and protects him. Abdul also gets disowned by society because the baby is illegitimate and nobody knows about the parents and religion. In spite of all the odds, Abdul fights with the entire society and raises the child wholeheartedly. He names him Roshan(Master Sushil Kumar)

On the other hand, Meena starts working as assistant to a lawyer, Ashok Kumar ([[Ashok Kumar]]). Ashok Kumar starts developing a soft spot for her. They both get married without Meena revealing her past. Mahesh is now a judge and is blessed with a baby boy Ramesh(Daisy Irani). One fine day, both Meena's son Roshan (raised by Abdul) and Mahesh's son Ramesh meet each other in school with their respective parents. In the presence of Mahesh, Abdul tells the principal of the school that he found Roshan in a forest eight years ago.

In school, Roshan and Ramesh become close to each other. They become the best of friends. When other kids make fun of Roshan, the Ramesh supports him. One day, he takes Roshan to his home, where his mother Malti welcomes him with love and affection, but Mahesh throws the boy out of his house, saying that he is not worth our respect and love, as he is illegitimate.

After all this, Roshan gets depressed and falls into bad company. But Ramesh tries to stop him and dies in a car accident. This leaves Roshan under more depression. He gets involved in a theft, but he is innocent. The case comes into the court of judge Mahesh Kapoor. Abdul goes to Ashok Kumar to fight this case, as he is a lawyer. He tells Ashok, in front of his wife Meena, as to who actually is the mother of Roshan, and that when and under what circumstances he found Roshan. She immediately recognizes Roshan as her son. She testifies in his favour, in the court. Mahesh, recognizing Meena and the son, admits his fault.

Next day, Malti tells Mahesh to go to Abdul's house and bring Roshan, since he is his son. On the other hand, Meena is ready to leave the house sneakingly, but Ashok stops her, saying that he respects her even more now. She can bring the child home. Both Meena and Mahesh go to Abdul's house to ask for Roshan. He first says no, but after that, he gives Roshan to Meena and Ashok Kumar.

Vikram is an overly doubting and abusive husband. He can't control his anger and rage and he continuously beats his new wife, Priya. Even going to the point of murdering a doctor that treated Priya and was trying to help her mother. One day, Vikram and Priya go to celebrate her birthday on a boat. But the boat gets stuck in a storm and Priya escapes during the mayhem. Vikram thinks that she drowned underwater . Instead, she runs away to Shimla by swimming back to shore.

There, she meets Raj Malhotra. He falls in love with her, but she always is getting so farther away from him. Later, when she gets sick of him following her, she asks her mother what she should do. Her mother asks her to reveal to him the truth about her marriage. Then it will be his choice to accept her or not. Priya writes him a letter about her past life. She asks Hari to give it to Raj. Hari misplaces the letter and gets someone to write a new one. Raj gets this other letter which contains nothing but a poem. When he finds out she is married, he leaves her. After Hari finds the original letter, he gives it to Raj. Raj falls in love with Priya again and decides to marry her.

One day, Vikram sees Priya's picture in the newspaper and finds out that she is alive. He cancels his ticket for Goa and goes to Shimla. In Shimla, he searches for her. On finding that she is getting married, he tries to kill Raj but fails. So he sends Raj to prison instead. Later, he goes to Priya's house and kills her friend and attempts to kill Priya as well.

In the climax, Vikram gets into a fight with Raj, while Raj was trying to save Priya from being killed by Vikram. Raj drowns Vikram in a bathtub full of water. While Vikram supposedly dies, Raj and Priya ran to a nearby rail station. Vikram attacks them again and pushes Raj. There, Vikram's feet get stuck on a railway track as he was chasing Priya. Seeing this, Priya tries to save Vikram as a train is approaching them fast. She tells him to move and runs to save him.
