Both agree, and Balu leaves to work elsewhere, befriends a widow, Sandhya, and learns how to dance in many things from her, while his dad arranges his marriage with a girl fulfilling all his conditions of an appropriate bride. While on a work-related trip, he is shocked to hear that Swapna has got married to Chakravarty, and instantly decides to propose to Sandhya, who agrees to marry him. Does this signal the end of their romance? What impact will Balu's past have on Sandhya, and how will she react when she eventually finds out about his feelings about Swapna? Will family resistance and unfortunate circumstances succeed in separating Swapna and Balu forever?
