action
Meena and Mahesh are deeply in love with each other. In one night they give themselves completely. The result: Meena becomes pregnant. The consequence is all the more devastating: Mahesh is married to Malta, who comes from a respected family. After the baby boy is born, she goes to the child's father. But Mahesh rejects them. The reason is that it was a mistake.
Poor Meena doesn't know what to do next and leaves the five-month-old baby in a forest. There it is threatened by a snake. On the way, the child is discovered and protected by the outsider Abdul Rasheed. He takes the boy in and calls him Roshan.
Meena now works as a paralegal for a lawyer. They have feelings for one another and tie the knot. The lawyer knows nothing of Meena's past.
Mahesh, now judge, is blessed again with a son named Ramesh. Years later, the two brothers become friends, although they do not know that they are related. Roshan is not accepted by society as an illegitimate child and is constantly bullied. Only his best friend, Mahesh's son, is at his side. But Roshan soon falls into depression and slips into the criminal scene. Ramesh tries to help him out and as a result dies in a car accident. This makes Roshan even more depressed and accidentally gets caught in a theft. Despite being innocent, he ends up before the judge - his genetic father. Abdul wants to help Roshan out of a tight spot and see the lawyer. There he tells about Roshan and how he picked him up in the forest back then. Meena overhears the conversation and realizes who Roshan actually is.
She testifies in court and Mahesh recognizes her. The next day, Malti asks her husband to bring Roshan to his home, since he is the biological son. On the other hand, Meena wants to leave the lawyer's house out of guilt. But her husband admires her strength and asks her to welcome her son. So Meena and Mahesh go to Abdul and ask for their son. At first he is reluctant to do this and in the end he leaves Roshan to his birth mother.
