He was a famous sculptor - he would move his hand over the stone and an exact figure would emerge from the stone. The artist Sri Babu was famous all over Rangoon. But Sri Babu was crazy about stone statues, but Sri Babu was not satisfied, he had to create such a statue that would be the soul and ideal of true femininity. Sri Babu used to search for a 'model' for such a statue.

One day, the army, driven mad by the Japanese victory, descended on Rangoon. The vanguard of the Japanese army descended on Rangoon, and in that fire, Sri Babu's temple was also burnt down along with many statues carved by Sri Babu. Many of Sri Babu's relics were buried under a pile of dust and dirt, but from that pile of dust and ashes, Sri Babu found a 'statue' - unconscious and injured. Sri Babu treated it, saving it from the mouth of death.

The statue rose, but it forgot itself. The artist named it: "Anonymous." And the girl began to consider herself anonymous too.

Sri Babu and Anami went to Calcutta. During the trip to Calcutta, Sribabu carved a beautiful statue out of stone. Line by line, the living Anami seemed to descend into the anonymity of the stone through the hands of the artist.

Sharad came to Calcutta. He survived the fierce bombing of Rangoon, his mother also survived, but where was his sister Chanda?

Sri Babu and Anami lived in a small house in an area of Calcutta. The stone's Anami was also there. The artist's Anami, in a discussion about whether it would look good from here or not, pushed Sri Babu hard one day with the Anami's hand. Sribabu fell and became covered in blood.

The landlord's daughter Bindu had her eyes on the artist Sri Babu for a long time. As their acquaintance grew, so did Bindu's love.

But what does that mean for the artist? In his world, anonymity was the only thing!

One day, Sri Babu and Anami went to the cinema together. The scenes of the bombing of Rangoon were being shown on the screen. In one such scene, she saw a wounded body being carried on a stretcher. As soon as she saw this scene, the veil of forgetfulness on Anami's mind lifted. Saying 'Bhai, Bhai', Anami rushed towards the screen. At the same time, Sharad, who appeared like a picture in the theatre, also rushed towards Anami. The lost brother and sister met again, but as one veil was torn, another veil fell on Anami's mind. She forgot Sri Babu and the days she had spent with Sribabu - completely forgot.

Sharad got a sister, Chanda got a brother, but Sri Babu lost everything. He started living as a hypocrite. Bindu saw an opportunity to make Sri Babu his own. She started courting Sri Babu, but Sri Babu's eyes were on Patthar's anonymity day and night. Bindu, burned with jealousy, one day threw Patthar's anonymity out of the house and Patthar's anonymity adorned a shop in Calcutta,

When the mother got hold of Chanda, she felt like heaven was at her fingertips. She started preparing for Chanda's marriage, but Chanda's in-laws, who were before she became anonymous, refused to accept her.

Sri Babu had lost everything after losing Anami. He used to wander around in Calcutta as a hermit. One day, while wandering, his eyes fell on the stone Anami kept in a big cupboard of a shop. Sribabu was injured when he tried to catch Anami and fell near the shop. He got Bindu's address from her in the hospital. Bindu came to Sri Babu after being informed about Sri Babu's current condition.

One day, Sharad noticed the stone's anonymity and bought the statue and took it home. Chandani noticed it.
 
A shock hit her brain. In the argument over 'where to keep the stone's anonymity in the house', Chanda pushed Sharghna. And her past woke up in Chanda's mind once again.

The memory of Sri Babu woke up in Chanda's mind. She took her motorbike and set off in search of Sri Babu. She found the hospital from Bindu's house. Bindu saw Chanda climbing the steps of the hospital and saw Sri Babu slipping from her father's arms, who had been holding her with great effort. A clash of thoughts arose in Bindu's mind: 'What should he do?' And Bindu hugged Sri Babu. Chanda, who was entering the door, saw this scene and told the lady doctor, "Father will come later" and turned back. A worm of doubt had started to grow in Chanda's mind.

What other path was there for Chanda now? Preparations for her new marriage with her compatriot Amrit began. After Sri Babu woke up from his illness, the lady doctor informed him of Chanda's arrival and the message he had given.

"Wasn't this Bindu's plan to get her father and get rid of Chanda?" Sri Babu was thinking.

Bindu also thought: ‘What is not father's will not be hers in the end.’ Bindu decided to unite Chanda and Sri Babu.

Bindu met Chanda and introduced her to Sarva Bina, who had become a woman.

A single moment... and before Chanda's eyes, Shribabu was seen longing for Chanda. Sri Babu and Chanda met. Amrut also became aware of the whole situation. Handing over the living Anami to Sri Babu, he asked for the anonymity of the stone for himself.

And Bindu? – Keeping the sprout of love planted in his heart hidden in his heart, he believed that it was the fruit of his father's love to give back what was his own.
