Shiv agrees to the marriage, but wants Mohan to check with his parents. Mohan writes them a letter saying he is marrying Asha and knows they will never accept her.. Mohan mother and her brother are greedy for dowry and know that a peon wont be able to give anything. The marriage is not accepted by Mohan's mother (but his dad (Keshto Mukherjee) is more docile and agreeable). She shows that she is OK with the wedding, but then Mohan leaves for Delhi for his IAS exam. Once Mohan leaves, his mom leaves Asha with Shiv and refuses to take Asha with her to their home. Asha is pregnant and her father Shiv Dayal, realizing that no man will marry Asha second time, decides to make her a collector.

They live a happy life with their two children and Seema's father (Nazir Hussain). Mohan's mom died after his 2nd marriage and her brother stole all their family property and lost it in gambling and booze.. Mohan works as a clerk in the collector's office (which means he failed the IAS exam). A new collector arrives at the office, and it turns out to be Asha. They tend to work together.. Asha is a strict operator, but treats Mohan with kindness and deference. Asha wears a Mangalsutra and has a kid named Ramesh.. The office is flush with rumors about who the husband is.. Mohan asks for forgiveness for the fraud his family brought on them both. He wants to meet his kid. Asha keeps running into Mohan outside of the office and Mansukh (an office employee) spots them. Mohan goes to Asha's home to meet Ramesh, but is thrown out by Shiv Dayal. Asha is still humble and has lots of respect for Mohan, who is still her husband.. Mansukh brings his kid to the office since he is a widower. The kid tears up important papers and thus Asha forbids him from bringing the child into the office. Mansukh (Johnny Walker) is angry and with his friends, he spreads a rumor across stating that there is an affair between Asha and Mohan. This rumor reaches Seema (Mansukh calls Seema personally) and she is completely disturbed. Mohan misplaces a critical file, for which he should be dismissed (as it would cause loss of rs 2 Lakhs to the govt). But Asha is torn, as she does not want to boss over Mohan.. at the same time, she cannot overlook the rules applicable in the matter.. She gives Mohan 2 days to find the file. Seema discovers the secret of Mohan's affair with Asha. Seems sends her son, who studies in the same class as Ramesh, to Asha's house to check if Mohan is spending time with Asha.. Office employee Dubey takes bribes and hence is never promoted. Dubey aligns with Shiv Dayal and says he will help him bring down Mohan, in exchange for Dubey getting promoted to Mohan's post of head clerk. Dubey slips a box of money in Mohan's bag and makes an anonymous phone call to the office manager Jagdish. The Manager calls the police and Mohan is searched in front of Asha, revealing the bag of money with rs 5000. The bag also has the visiting card of the company whole file Mohan had misplaced. Asha orders Mohan's suspension. Mohan is under financial distress, so Asha sends some money via Suresh (Seema's son) to Seema, but she is offended and sends the money right back. As luck would have it Mansukh's son finds the missing file in office, hidden between magazines. The matter is brought to Asha, who immediately re-instates Mohan. Mohan finds that the bribe money (which Asha had given him to deposit in the official treasury), was wrapped in a drawing paper that he had seen in Asha's house. Mohan confronts Asha at her house.. Ashs convinces her that she is not the one wanting revenge against Mohan. After much turmoil, Seema finds out that Asha and Mohan had married 10 year back before her marriage to Mohan (she finds a photo behind the photo of her own wedding to Mohan).

Seema runs away to commit suicide. Ashs comes to Seema's house and finds the situation.. She goes after to save Seema. Asha finds Seema on a mountain where blasting is taking place. Asha tells Seema the whole truth. Blasts take place and Seema is blinded and Asha is badly injured.. Asha gives her eyes to Seema, whose eye-sight went in the accident in which Asha is injured.
