Even after 10 years of marriage she had not been blessed with an offspring, due to which one always saw her praying before the family deity. Her prayers are answered but how? Due to an accident in the hospital, her new born baby gest mixed up with the child of a mother who died while delivering. There being no one to claim the other child Suman who also can't identify her new born decides to take both the babies home much against her husband's wishes. Major Bhagwant Singh (Kader Khan) who claims to be the father of the other child also is unable to recognise his child. Suman magnanimously requests major to stay in the house till such time it is known which child is whose.

But as luck would have it the three become good friends leading to a love triangle. Suman is also interested in making Kiran the daughter-in-law of the house putting the already puzzled Mahesh in a fix, as he wants Kiran to marry only his real son. Both the boys come to know the reason for Kiran in the eyes of their mother. This leads to Kiran leaving the house broken hearted.
