Her neighbours are Bipin (Shiv Kumar) and his parents. Bipin and his friends have just returned to their town from Bombay after completing their studies. One of Bipin's friends, Ravi Mehra (Biswajeet), is the son of a wealthy businessman, Amarchand Mehra (Sapru). Ravi and Mohini meet and fall in love. Bipin also loves Mohini but has never expressed his feelings. When Ravi leaves to go abroad for further studies, he promises he will get green bangles for her, as a symbol of marriage. However, soon after he leaves, Mohini is told by their family doctor that she is pregnant.

However, instead of returning home as planned, Ravi goes to the US with his father. An angry Mohini refuses to acknowledge his letters, intending to face the situation alone. Bipin's mother Maya (Lalita Pawar), is at first horrified but soon comes round when her husband (S. N. Bannerjee) talks to her about Mohini's predicament.
