Desperate to earn money to support his extended family, Mohan becomes entangled in a web of deceit when he tells a lie in order to obtain a secretarial job in the city with the wealthy Mr. Rai. He says he isn't married, but he is. Mr. Rai has a daughter with a heart condition. In the beginning of the film, she is confined to a wheelchair, but Mohan has more than a mild therapeutic effect on her. She is soon up and running - running after him. Meanwhile, back in the village, the money he has been sending home is being filched by his greedy sister. Soon, mother, wife and a flock of children come looking for him and Mohan finds himself leading a double life in an increasingly desperate effort to avoid all parties learning the truth.
The film begins with Mohan returning to his village after completing his studies when he finds they encompass the debts. So, he decides to aid his joint family containing his wife Shobha, a 5-year-old daughter, the mother Janki, 3 sisters & 2 brothers. Hence, he moves to the city for a job but fails. Disparate Mohan, fortunately, meets his childhood mate Manohar, who makes his acquaintance with tycoon Kamalrai Mansukh Lal and leaves abroad. Rai offers him a job, provided he is single. Owing to necessity, Mohan claims to be solitary.
 
Meanwhile, Rai's daughter Radha, a heart patient, is back from a foreign country. Radha feels relief in Mohan's breezy company and gradually recoups her when she falls for him. Now, Mohan is under a dichotomy as he cannot reveal the truth. Moreover, Mohan's virago sister, Durga, expels the family, and they land in the city. Accidentally, Mohan spots and accommodates them at Manohar's house. Eventually, Durga & her husband Ramadas also arrive and, by mischief, take shelter at Sunder's residence, one that aspires to knit Radha. After a while, they reform, and Mohan retrieves them.
