Vishal and Aruna fall in love. Aruna finds out from Dr. Mathur that she suffers from optic atrophy and will go blind within 6 months and is devastated. Not wanting to be a burden on Vishal who is already taking care of his disabled mother, she decides to leave him. Aruna decides to marry Anand Kumar, her much older employer, who is reluctant to spoil her life. Vishal is  confused of why she has betrayed him.


Vishal ([[Dharmendra]]) and Aruna ([[Sharmila Tagore]]) are in love. Aruna learns that she is going to become blind. She doesn't want to be a burden on Vishal, who is already taking care of his handicapped mother. So Aruna marries her much older employer, Anand Kumar ([[Ashok Kumar]]).
At the end of 6 months, fearing that the day of going blind has arrived, a terrified Aruna faints. Dr Mathur is pleasantly surprised to see her report. It is revealed that due to a medical strike, Aruna's earlier report was wrong and her eyesight is fine. Aruna learns that Anand Kumar's daughter Sonia is in love with Vishal and decides to sacrifice her love. She meets Vishal and asks him to forget her. Sonia overhears the conversation and is shocked. Realising her mistake, she tries to convince Aruna to marry Vishal.


The plot further thickens when the Anand Kumar's young daughter, Sonia ([[Leena Chandavarkar]]) falls in love with Vishal. The question "Will Vishal, who does not know the reason for Aruna's defection, use this to take revenge on Aruna?" forms the rest of the story.
Anand dies in an accident and Aruna is severely injured. She feigns blindness so that Sonia can marry Vishal. When Sonia discovers Aruna's sacrifice she goes to tell Vishal about it. Vishal regrets he misunderstood Aruna. Aruna sends Vishal a letter asking him to marry Sonia mentioning that she is going away and he must never find her. Prakash who lusts for Aruna kidnaps her. Vishal and Sonia fight the goons and save Aruna. In the end, Aruna and Vishal are married.<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://tv.apple.com/ie/movie/ek-mahal-ho-sapno-ka/umc.cmc.69lsfw46mndr1yhlbe1rwep51 |title=Ek Mahal Ho Sapno Ka - Apple TV |language=en-GB |access-date=2025-07-24 |via=tv.apple.com}}</ref>
