But when the uncle finds out about Chhaya's past, they reject her. This news kills her dad, and Chhaya re-locates to live with her friend, Leela Lal, who lives a middle-class lifestyle with her husband, Murari, and her mother-in-law, who is very superstitious and never lets Leela out of her sight. Murari and Leela introduce her to Prakash, an airline pilot, and both eventually fall in love with each other. When Prakash takes her with him to meet his mom, Chhaya finds out that she is the same woman who rejected her and abruptly leaves without meeting anyone. Prakash manages to convince her to marry him despite of her background, and she does. Both go to live with Prakash's family, but Chhaya is treated as an outcast and every possible mishap is blamed on her presence. Will Chhaya's presence continue to cause problems in this household also - especially when Prakash's plane goes missing?

"Unluckly"........these heart breaking words were to echo and re-echo through-out an innocent girls whole life casting a deep and meancing shadow across the days to come. . Chhaya was a very charming child, pristine pure, like the morning dew, delicate, fresh and mercurial in temperament and looks. The climate of love which flowers a personality was denied to her. The dark and destructive storm of supertiton blew away all the vistas of happiness from her life......in all this, the love of her father was the only Island in an otherwise swirling whirlpool of hate around her. . Then the tragedy struck her with full force. . The lady who had decided to make Chhaya her daughter-in-law was convinced that Chhayas coming to her house, will result in the sheer destruction of her son and home. How could she afford that? . Chhaya was rejected as woman even......and this shock extinguished the last ray of Chhayas hope .....her father. . Now, Chhaya, nowhere to go, could go nowhere. . She came to Bombay to live with Leena, a friend of hers. Prakash, a pilot came into her life. His love was a harbinger of all those sweet dreams which a loving maiden, pure and unsullied has.

He married her inspite of his mothers inhabitations. . Chhaya entered the house as a daughter-in-law in which all the cards were against her.

Once again the catastrophy struck her. . Prakashs plane crashed. Chhayas whole world came crashing down. Her dreams were lost, her whole existence crumbled ....even her faith was shattered. Amid the ruins of her life, she stood alone....rejected, defeated and condemned to eternity. .
