Viplav Tripathi, the carefree grandson of Dashrath Tripathi, meets Dhaani, a young widow on the bank of the river Ganges in the holy city of Banaras. Dhaani lives with her mother in a widow refuge (aashram). Viplav, a law graduate, plans to go to the US for further studies.

Dashrath sends Viplav to Delhi, and tries to have the aashram vacated. Viplav arrives just in time to fight the court case on behalf of the widows. Viplav's parents try to get him engaged to his childhood friend, Tanya but Viplav calls off the engagement. When he saves Dhaani from drowning, his half brother, Tripurari, takes photographs to defame Dhaani. An enraged Viplav decides to live with the widows till their problems are solved.

Dhaani and Viplav become friends. After helping the widows, Viplav returns home. Viplav's parents again create misunderstandings leading to Dhaani and Viplav breaking off their friendship. Dhaani is made to get engaged to Tripurari but Viplav stops their wedding in the nick of time after discovering Tripurari had gotten another widow, Suvarna, pregnant.

They spend several days together during which Viplav falls in love with her. Tripurari catches up with them and when they are brought to Banaras, Viplav declares his love for Dhaani and announces he will marry her. A confused Dhaani rejects his proposal but when he pretends to leave for the US she realises her feelings for him and happily accepts.

Kanak and Dashrath create several problems for the couple leading to them arguing but eventually Viplav sees through their plans and he and Dhaani marry in a temple.

Raja is looking for his brother's wife, Suman (now Dhaani), who he blames for his brother's death and enlists Viplav's help. Dhaani realises Raja's identity and stops the wedding. She is arrested for her husband's death and Viplav decides to fight her case. She reveals that her husband was an alcoholic and her mother-in-law beat her.

Dashrath pretends to accept her, while Kanak and Shalu are against her. Shalu gets manipulated by Raja, and marries him. Viplav and Dhaani come up with multiple plans to expose Raja. Finally, Raja's father helps them and Raja is revealed to be a married man who goes around conning women for their money. Raja is thrown out and Shalu asks forgiveness. As the family get together to perform a pooja, Raja returns to attack Dhaani but Viplav gets in the way and is injured. Dhaani beats up Raja who is finally arrested and Viplav is rushed to the hospital. Kanak blames Dhaani for her son's condition. Dhaani prays and Viplav recovers.

Dashrath's sister comes to live with the family. Dadi Bua wants to find a suitable girl for Viplav and the family lie to her that Dhaani is a nurse caring for him.

When Dhaani is asked to leave the house, Viplav brings her back and announces that they are married shocking Dadi Bua and Kaamini. Dadi Bua convinces Kaamini to stay on.
