He wins Asha's sympathy by claiming to be a policeman being chased by crooks. To extend his stay, Shamsher pretends to love Asha and marries her on the quiet in a village temple. After the wedding night, Shamsher leaves Asha forever, promising to return very soon.

Shanker returns and is happy to know about his sister's marriage. The happiness turns to misery when the pregnant Asha's husband shows no sign of returning.
