action

Raj and Pooja Malhotra have been married for 40 years and have four sons of whom they are very proud. All their lives they have only thought about the wellbeing of their children. They sent their adoptive son Alok abroad, where he studied and became professionally successful, and now he wants to marry Arpita. Raj's four biological sons already have families but still receive financial support from their father when they need it. So Raj and Pooja have no house of their own and no savings, which they don't worry about; because they are sure that their children will take care of them. When Raj retires, he shares this with his sons at a family celebration. Now they should decide which of them will take their parents in. The sons are not as happy about it as Raj thought. Nobody has enough money and enough space in the house. So the sons decide to separate their parents from each other in order to spread the burden over several shoulders. Raj and Pooja are still very much in love, but they are happy with the decision of their children because they now have no other choice. But they quickly realize that their children only see them as a burden. Day by day the life of Raj and Pooja becomes more and more unbearable. Raj finds a job to alleviate his suffering - he writes a book about his life, about love and betrayal. A friend of his takes it to a publisher.

After six months, when Raj and Pooja have to change their homes, they finally meet and decide to leave their children to be together again. They don't know how things will go on and what they will have to live on now. But that day they meet their adoptive son Alok, who asks them to stay with him. He has become very successful and has never forgotten who he owes it to. In the meantime I got news from the publisher: The book by Raj was a great success and brought in a lot of money. Thus Raj is taken care of for the future. His sons notice that too and hope that they can win their parents' affection after all. When Raj receives an award for the book, he invites his sons to the award and gives a touching speech. He makes it clear to everyone that he cannot forgive the betrayal.
