One day Dhania plays the record of the songs and starts dancing, assuming herself as the heroine of the film. She pulls Kundan up to join her and both get involved in the dance, forgetting everything. One person related with films watches them and he is impressed by the skill of Dhania and he helps her to become a film star Sarita from Dhania. Now Kundan feels lonely in this glamourous world and their love is lost somewhere. He still loves her, but she is lost in her dreams of becoming a superstar.
