) and Prakash (Sanjeev Kumar) are in love and get intimate. Their ways are separate, and Prakash must marry Renuka (Neelam Mehra), as she meets his family's approval. Gauri gets pregnant as a result of this intimacy, gets ill, and is hospitalized. It is here that the truth surfaces about Gauri and Prakash, as details are revealed of their past birth, in which they were lovers - Gangadhar Upadhyay and Gauri, and Kalavati (now Renuka). During their previous birth too, Gauri gets pregnant, gets ill, and passes away because of Kalavati's interference. The child in her womb does not survive resulting in Gangadhar's death. In this birth, the only way Prakash can survive is after someone, who loves him, sacrifices their life for him. And that person cannot be Gauri, as her death will lead to the death of the child in her womb, and subsequently to Prakash's death. Renuka is now prepared to kill Gauri so she can get Prakash all to herself.
