When Suresh saw Madhu, he was enraptured. He decided to betray his friend so that she could be his. And the two cunning annonymous letters he wrote, resulted in his marrying Madhu, and Shanker marrying Shanta. On the wedding night itself the impetuous Shanta hurled words at her uneducated husband. . Shankers life became miserable and Madhu could not see the plight of her Devar and did her best to bring Shanta closer to him. Shanker, with an unhappy present, often rememebered his childhood days and his childhood sweetheart, Bhanvria, who after parting suddenly learnt that his beloved Bhabhi was Bhanvria herself! He begged God to help him maintain the sacred relationship of Devar and Bhabhi, to retain the peace in the home of his friend who had actually betrayed him! . That was not all. Shanker bore more insults from his wife as the author of the annonymous letters. His own father disinherited him. he was hated and misunderstood by all. But truth cannot be hidden for long and one day Shanker suddenly learnt that the man who had wrecked his life was not other than his own friend!
