As a favour to Arun, Mridula's father arranges for Arun's sister to get married and pays for her wedding expenses. After the wedding, Arun and Mridula have a car accident and Mridula wakes up from a long coma only to be told by her father that Arun died in the accident. A devastated Mridula is unable to get over his absence, and her father is advised by her doctors to bring her to a place where Arun's memories will not plague her. Her father takes her to London to stay in his friend's house. Before long, Mridula sees Arun in strange visions. Meanwhile, Mridula's father arranges for her to marry his friend's son Mano, a young man attracted to her. Unable to accept this arrangement, she flees to London Town where she meets David, who looks exactly like Arun. She follows him and learns where he lives and works. Whenever she tries to talk to him, he denies his relationship with her and says he doesn't know her. However, she later discovers that her father, unable to accept a poor man to become his son-in-law, had used the fact that he had helped with Arun's sister's marriage as a reason for Arun to return the favour by forgetting his daughter. So Arun had moved to London and changed his name in an attempt to forget about Mridula's. But after meeting and talking with Mridula several times, he reveals this. When Mridula's father becomes aware, he hires thugs to kill him but Arun escapes. In the end, after being advised by his friend and Mano, and seeing his distraught daughter, he realises his mistake and arranges for the couple to reunite.
