Nandkishore Sharma alias Nandu is born in the Sharma family. His mother tragically passes away, leaving him in the care of his father who decides to re-marry a woman named Kamla. Kamla is not very kind to Nandu, who then seeks love and solace with a neighbour named Pushpa, who looks after him, feeds him, and even sings lullabies to get him to sleep. This does not auger well with Kamla, who severely beats up Nandu whenever she finds out that he has gone to meet Pushpa. Then his parents decide to move to another town, and Nandu tear[ully bids farewell to Pushpa, but her love for him remains in his heart forever. Years later, Nandu has grown up, his parents have passed away, his siblings are settled independently, and he himself is married. He takes a nostalgic journey to the same town where he used to reside as a child, and rents a room in the same locality. He asks around for a woman named Pushpa, hoping that a lot of people would remember her for her kindness and love. He is shocked to find out that Pushpa no longer lives there - and no one remembers her for her love and compassion only as a - prostitute.

Pushpa is a simple village girl who is thrown out of her house by her husband because she is unable to conceive. Dejected and homeless, she leaves her village and comes to the city where she is befriended by tout Nepal Babu, who sells her into prostitution. One day Anand, a wealthy man neglected by his ultra-modern wife, passes by her house of ill fame and is attracted by Pushpas sweet melidios voice. He begins to frequent the place. Nandoo, a child who stays nearby, is ill-treated by his step-mother and so, walks into Pushpas life and finds a mother in her. Like three lost souls they cling to one another in search of that elusive commodity called love. But an indifferent society compels them to part, only to meet years later when Nandoo has grown up and can now call Pushpa his mother without any hinderence.
