	Ravi ~~(Jeetendra) overhears~~ a ~~beautiful woman~~, ~~Namrita (Rekha)~~, ~~singing~~ a ~~sad song~~. He ~~falls in love~~ and ~~tries~~ to ~~pull~~ her ~~away~~ from the ~~abyss of suicide~~. ~~As time goes by~~, he ~~proposes and introduces her~~ to his ~~family~~, ~~only to find out that she~~ is ~~already married to~~ Rajesh~~. He leaves home destroyed~~, ~~attempting~~ to ~~understand life after she completes suicide~~...~~only~~ to ~~run into~~ her ~~at an ashram~~, ~~where she claims she~~ is ~~not~~ the ~~same person~~, ~~but~~ a ~~look-alike~~.		The film begins at [[Jal Mahal]] [[Jaipur]]; Ravi, an advocate and friend of its in-charge, Shankar, frequently visits his house. One night, he finds something suspicious at Jal Mahal, where he rescues a girl named Namita from suicide in an abyss. In two days, he views us as a "Hippie" accused in a drug case. Ravi acquits, boosts her spirit, and falls for her. Ravi is the son of Public Prosecutor Devendra Pratap Singh, who also approves of his love affair. Besides, Rajesh Tagore, a man who holds a family feud with Devendra Pratap, invites them to a party where Ravi is startled to view Namita as his wife. He rebukes her but cools after perceiving that Rajesh has forcibly knitted and bedeviled for her wealth. Thus, Ravi decides to marry her, but Devendra Pratap opposes it. So, Namita kills herself by jumping from the Jal Mahal. The incident dramatically impacts Ravi, so, as a vagrant, he roams around pilgrimage.

			Accordingly, he detects Namita as a saint Gayatri, which muddles him. Her father, Dindayal, divulges to Ravi that Gayatri is his only Namita, whose identity is Rekha. They entered the trap of Rajesh, who extorted them all to ruin Devendra Pratap's family. Further, the woman who died at Jal Mahal is his real wife, Namita, whom he slaughtered for wealth. Then, he plotted to kill them, too, but fortunately, they escaped. Listening to it, Ravi moves for Rekha when a person under the veil abducts her. So, Ravi rushes to his father for guidance. Besides, Rajesh is hauled by the man on the cover, showing Rekha's existence. Surprisingly, he turns as Shankar swindles Ravi by whisking with Rajesh. Afterward, being ruse by him, he made this play. At last, Devendra Pratap gamely ceases their ploy. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Ravi & Rekha.
