Sheilesh and Sandhyarani's love affair begins on a rainy day through a mutual friend Radharani. Both the lovebirds face harsh realities of life in differing ways. Sheilesh looks for new jobs and opportunities but the prevailing system of corruption never stands in favour of a simpleton like him. Sandhyarani lives under a roof where her sister-in-law becomes the main reason for their family's harmony to be constantly disturbed. Despite all the obstacles their lives have to offer, Sheilesh and Sandhyarani strive hard for a shared future. Unfortunately, they part ways and Sandhyarani leaves her paternal home with a heavy heart.
