Shivani Chopra | Shivani Chopra is an air hostess for [[Air India]]. She lives with her sister Padmisha and her brother-in-law Mohanlal, who is a drunkard and bets all the money he can find on horse races. Shivani meets Vijay Agnihotri, a wealthy industrialist who is instantly infatuated with her, but she shows no interest in him. Vijay is the owner of his family industries; he first tries to get Shivani to model for them, but she does not even consider it. He continues to pursue her to be his lover, but is rejected every time. Vijay informs his mother, Padma, that he will only marry Shivani. | ||
When they approach Shivani's family for her hand in marriage, they see that Shivani is marrying Ashok Chopra, an Air India pilot. Vijay is heartbroken, shocked, and disappointed, while Shivani and Ashok get posted right after their wedding and move to America. | |||
Four years later, Vijay cannot forget Shivani and turns down all the marriage proposals brought by his mother. Shivani and Ashok have a daughter, Pinky. Shivani left her job as an air hostess and began volunteering at a hospital for the mentally and physically disabled. Vijay befriends Ashok in hopes of getting closer to Shivani. He plans to start his own airline, where he hires Ashok as a general manager with a high salary. Unaware of Vijay's intentions, Ashok doesn't believe Shivani who tries to convince him of Vijay's true colours. | |||
Vijay gives Shivani and Ashok a new company home. After moving in, Shivani finds out she is pregnant. She shares the news with her husband, but Vijay interrupts, revealing that he's used Shivani's photos as advertisements for the new airline. This enrages Shivani, who demands that Vijay leave and then insists that Ashok quit his job as well as the new house, and that she will work to support the family instead. Insulted and angered, Ashok slaps and disowns Shivani, who leaves the house, much to his great regret. | |||
Vijay witnessing this has an episode and severely beats Ashok. When he is hospitalized, Vijay removes Ashok's oxygen mask in the presence of Shivani thereby killing him. She attempts to convince the police that Vijay is responsible for Ashok's death. However, Vijay bribes his friend, Inspector Arjun Singh, to provide an alibi and is not charged. Despite Arjun telling him that what he did was wrong, Vijay refuses to stop thinking about Shivani and giving up. All this while, he visits and begs Shivani to say she loves him. As she refuses, he beats her up and frames her for his attempted murder. She is sentenced to 3 years in prison as she could not prove her innocence. Pinky is placed in the care of Padmisha and Mohanlal. Mohanlal mistreats his wife and calls Pinky a burden. | |||
Shivani meets Nisha, her cellmate who was wrongly accused of murder in a case of [[dowry]]. They share their pain in prison under the watch of a brutal prison warden, who would force the prison inmates into prostitution for political leaders at night. One day, Shivani vomits during a politician's visit to take a prisoner for the night. In an attempt to escape from prison, she makes a complaint about the brutality of her prison guard but her plea is ignored. Instead, Inspector Arjun reveals to the warden that it was Shivani who filed a complaint against her illegal activities. The prison guard learns that Shivani is pregnant from the visit, and gives her a severe beating and throws her into a dark isolation cell, which causes her to have a miscarriage. | |||
Mohanlal forces Padmisha to disown Pinky, but she refuses. In response, he kicks both Padmisha and Pinky out. Vijay visits Shivani in prison with the promise of freeing her, as well as news about his alleged relationship with another woman who bears her name, but Shivani still refuses. A depressed Vijay then accidentally kills Shivani's sister and daughter by running his car over them. Shivani learns about their deaths and realizes Vijay is the one who killed them. With all of her loved ones dead, Shivani, now hardended with hatred, only has a motive to live now with exacting revenge on all the people who wronged her. | |||
