Meena lives with her retired and widowed dad in picturesque Nainital. She has a sister, Kamla, married to a well-known Barrister, Ashok, and two children, Pappu and Dolly. When Kamla comes for a visit, she finds out that Meena is in love with Rajendra, a painter and singer, who she approves of him, and would like to get them married. Before that could happen she has an accident and passes away, leaving the care of her children to Meena. Subsequently, their father arranges Meena's marriage with Ashok, fearing ill-treatment by another woman as the step-mother. Meena marries Ashok and goes to live in his palatial house in Bombay. After a year when they return to Nainital, a visibly upset Rajendra gets in touch with Meena and they rekindle their romance. When Meena gets back to Bombay, Rajendra follows her and they continue to meet in secret. Things gets complicated when Meena finds out that Rajendra is married to a woman named Leela, who also wants to blackmail her in order to keep her mouth shut. Angry at this betrayal at the hands of her lover, Meena has two ways out - continue to pay Leela for the rest of her life - or kill herself.

Trivia:
Shammi Kapoor was originally offered Ashok Kumar's role. He declined saying that the audience would not buy that the heroine would cheat on a husband as good looking as himself for Sunil Dutt.
The film was based on the life of actress Kamini Kaushal who married her late sister's husband B.S Sood.
Kamini Kaushal and Dilip Kumar were in a relationship. After the death of her older sister, Kamini chose to marry her sister's much older husband over Dilip Kumar for the sake of her daughters. The parallel in the film is when Mala Sinha marries a much older Ashok Kumar over Sunil Dutt after her older sister Nirupa Roy passes away.
The film was remade as Bewafai (2005) with Anil Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Sushmitra Sen & Kareena Kapoor.
