The situation is very tense between the young women and their aunt as the girls' parents have recently passed away and Sita Devi have been given the responsibility of the caretaker who is very strict. While Pritam's young avatar is romancing one of his two young tutoring charges (Kalpana), his old avatar is romancing their guardian. Eventually, all comes to light, Sita Devi learns to love her young charges and Pritam and his heroine are united.
