Plot

Shyam Date, a well-known singer, is hospitalised after being injured in an accident. During his treatment at the General Civil Hospital, he develops a close relationship with Vasudha, one of the nurses caring for him. The two eventually fall in love. Vasudha subsequently leaves her position at the hospital and remains out of contact with Shyam for several days. When she returns, Vasudha tells Shyam that she has taken up employment as a companion to Asawari, a young woman suffering from a heart condition. Shyam visits Vasudha while she is working for Asawari. During his visits, Asawari develops romantic feelings for him.

Vasudha then persuades Shyam to reciprocate Asawari's feelings and marry her, revealing that Asawari is believed to have only a short time to live. She assures Shyam that after Asawari's death, he would inherit her wealth, allowing the couple to build a life together. Shyam agrees to the plan and marries Asawari. Following the marriage, however, Asawari's health unexpectedly begins to improve. Fearing that their plan will fail, Vasudha urges Shyam to kill Asawari.
