Plot
[edit]Zamindar Raja Ramachandra Bahadur prioritizes family prestige and self-esteem. At the same time, he is well known for charities, and his son Raghunatha Prasad firmly believes in patriotism. Once, he gets the acquaintance with a dancer, Sita, and falls in love with her. But Ramachandra Bahadur objects to their marriage, so Raghu leaves the house and marries her. As time passes, the couple is blessed with a baby boy, Shankar. Now, Ramachandra Bahadur is depressed for his son and grandson. Looking at it, Diwan makes a crooked plan by which Raghu suspects Sita and leaves the house, taking his son. Heartbroken, Sita decides to prove her innocence. Raghu changes his name, starts working as a laborer, and educates his son. Sita is searching for her husband and faints on a train when a contractor saves her. He requests her to stay with them, and Sita becomes governess to his daughter Radha. Years pass, and Shankar becomes a doctor and works at a medical college. Radha also studies in the same college, and they love each other. There, Raja Ramachandra Bahadur becomes sick and mentally upset. Once, when Sita gets sick, Radha calls Shankar when he recognizes his mother. But he wants to meet her when his father approves. The rest of the story is about how Shankar reunites his parents and teaches a lesson to his grandfather.
