Plot summary
Sunil lives a middle class life with his mother and sister in Delhi. He works for Chopra & Co., Chartered Accountants. He comes across a beautiful woman, Anita posing for a painting, and thinks she is poor and needy, and gives her a tip. The woman's name is Anita, and both are attracted to each other. Sunil and Anita intend to marry, and Sunil even introduces Anita to his mother. One day when attending a party, Sunil is shocked to learn that Anita is a multi-millionaire. Stunned at this deception, he swears he will have nothing to do with her. When Anita attempts to soothe things over, Sunil does cool down.
