Plot
The story follows the reincarnating lives of a couple through three different generations. It opens with young students Radha, a simple girl aspiring to be a doctor, and Shyam, a playboy in the school. Initially, they dislike each other, but gradually begin to spend more time together and destiny makes them fall in love.
When Shyam visits a remote village Lakhanpur, it reminds him of his past life as Kishan, whereas Radha was Shyama. Due to a conflict in their village created by goons, Shyama jumps off a cliff and dies. When Kishan learns of this, he also commits suicide.
Back in the present, Radha and Shyam unite, but find out their families hate each other. A community conflict orders them to be killed.
