After her mother's death, Kalyani proposes to Jeetu to get married. Jeetu declares that he is not willing to spend the rest of his life with Kalyani. Kalyani feels like she has been deceived and loses all the yearning for her life. She plunges into a river they were standing beside and is drifted to somewhere else where a man named Gokul finds her unconscious on the surface of the water. Gokul brings her to his home and cures her well. Kalyani marries Gokul. Eventually Jeetu learns that Kalyani has been married to a man of an inferior caste. Jeetu meets her and confesses that he is contrite for what he told her earlier and now he wants her back in his life. He also tries to persuade her that she cannot spend the rest of her life with a man like Gokul who belongs to an indigent lower caste.
