They met in the glamorous holiday world of Simla. She (R U PA) was a ravishing beauty, and he (ASHOK) a rich & handsome man about-town. It was generally conceded that they would have made the ideal couple, if only Ashok did not tease and torment Rupa every time he met her. Could, then, such a situation blossom into love? The answer was provided when Ashok followed Rupa back to Bombay, to win her heart and the approval of Rupa's mother, a woman professing an ultra-modern view of love and life. So much so, that she deliberately shut out a disturbing incident that lurked in the shadows of the days gone by.

The imminent announcement of an engagement brought Rupa's cousin (SONIA) rushing to Bombay. Sonia had pinned her hopes on claiming Ashok as her very own, and regretted the day when she had introduced him to Rupa. In a fit of jealousy and remorse, she told Ashok of the harrowing truth - the truth that Rupa's mother had tried so hard to hide. Sonia was confident that no man could ever marry Rupa, but Asbok was made of a different calibre. He lived very much in the present, and readily accepted Rupa for what she was, and not for what she may have been. The ideal romance was about to culminate in a happy union when ...

... the vows of uneasy past echoed and re-echoed louder and louder, till Rupa's conscience would not allow her to ever again face the man she so deeply loved. In desperation, she began to re-trace her steps towards her Destiny - and the story of Rupa's Destiny is the story of a brief encounter that will be remembered for a long time to come.
