When Ajay (Sunil Dutt) meets Asha (Asha Parekh), he mistakenly believes she's wealthy.

Poverty is one thing, though, and childlessness quite another -- which Asha finds out the hard way. When she fails to produce an heir for the clan posthaste, her mother-in-law begins a search for her replacement.
