Arup is engrossed in amateur dramatics and plays little attention to household affairs. Sachhi and Aurobindo are on lookout for a groom for Radha and all seems to be going well, until a love letter is discovered, from which it emerges that Radha is having an affair with a man called Bimal, whose caste is unsuitable. This revelation triggers off a series of varied reactions among the family members.
Radha is told to end the affair. In the meantime, an astrologer tells Sachhi that a mishap is about to befall Radha. Religious rites are performed to ward off the evil, but during the ceremonies, it is dramatically discovered that Radha after contemplating suicide has eloped with Bimal to defy the false social values of her family.
