Despite the terrible accident, Roopa remains religious and goes to the village Hindu temple daily, singing hymns and devotional songs.The protagonist Rajeev (Shashi Kapoor), is an engineer who arrives in the village to oversee the construction of a major dam. He suffers from a fear of ugliness. He sees Roopa at night and, failing to see her disfigured side, falls in love with her, asking her father permission to marry her.After the wedding, he discovers the truth, and thinks that he was cheated and was forced to marry someone else, at which point he disowns Roopa and drives her out of the house. Roopa decides to meet him at night, using a veil to hide the charred side of her face. Rajeev spends his days hating his wife, and his nights loving his mistress, not knowing they are both the same woman - Roopa. During one of their nights together, they make love and Roopa gets pregnant. When Rajeev finds out that his wife is pregnant, he suspects her of infidelity and still refuses to believe this his "mistress" and wife are one and the same.
