Asha (Rajni Sharma), his sister's friend loves him, but he doesn't reciprocate her feelings. On a college excursion to Shimla, he comes across famous dancer Shikha (Anita Raj) and falls in love with her.

In a party during the song "Hothon Se Chhulo Tum", she finally found out who the hero actually is and the love story starts. His father, who wants to see him as a qualified doctor, doesn't approve of the relationship. His marriage is fixed with Asha against his will. Here the story takes a turn as Shikha is diagnosed as suffering from a Brain Tumor in the final stage and has only few more days remaining to live. Akash asks his doctor friend Dr. Amar (Shashi Ranjan) to hide the same from Shikha to save her from any shock and keep her happy.
