Vinod spends lot of time with Leena (Prema Narayan) and attending late night parties while Geeta patiently awaits husband every night. Once Shobha happens to see Vicky with Radha (Tanuja), assumes they have an affair and pesters Vicky about it. When Vicky defers her, she leaves him. On the other hand Vinod decides to leave house, but destiny plays its role. He meets with an accident and during his recovery period Shabana proves how important she is for him. He repents and completely changes into a new soft-spoken and good man. On the other hand, Shobha spoils her own house to such a stage that Vicky is compelled to leave his house after Radha's tragic death. At this juncture, Tripathi steps in to mend the couple.
