[edit]

Raja Brijraj Singh and his younger brother Raja Ranbir Singh lives in a spacious palace and are wealthy landlords of a small Indian town named as Kishengarh. They would like their only, head-strong and foreign-returned niece Manorama to marry equally wealthy Rupesh Singh but she gives her heart to a poor poultry dealer named Ajay. When Brijraj and Ranbir learn of this relationship they object and strive to prevent their niece from marrying Ajay. They threaten her and she has to give false witness that puts Ajay behind bars and has his sister's in-laws disown her, all this leads to their mother's demise. Ajay blames it on Manorama but later learns the truth and eventually retaliates by killing her uncles.
