Plot
Professor Sukesh Dutt (Vijay Anand) and Archana Gupta (Jaya Bachchan) meet by chance while traveling by the BEST bus service in Mumbai. Archana’s father likes Sukesh, and both Archana and Sukesh are also attracted to each other and get married. Archana’s mother does not like Sukesh due to his modest income. She makes up stories about their affluence, which offends Sukesh. She interferes in their life and buys things for them. It bruises his ego. All these things result in acrimony between Archana and Sukesh, and they decide to separate. Archana goes to live with her parents, while Sukesh relocates. Archana’s family asks her to forget Sukesh, and remarry, which Archana finds difficult since she still has feelings for Sukesh. She goes to a far-off place to work as a teacher to find solace. One day Sukesh and Archana meet in a railway waiting room by chance. There, they resolve their misunderstandings and grievances. They reunite to live happily thereafter.
