In the rural village of Bihar, Soumya Kumari fends for herself after her grandmother's passing and her uncles' betrayal of greed. Fortunately, her kind neighbor Jaswant takes her in and adopts her as a daughter. But his financial struggles and stubbornness threaten to derail Soumya's dreams of becoming a banker. Instead of supporting her by funding her coaching classes, Jaswant attempts to find her a good marriage match. Determined to succeed, Soumya works tirelessly to earn money to support her aspirations. However, when Jaswant's financial and physical health deteriorates, the villagers falsely accuse Soumya of the stress, making her feel unappreciated and unwanted. Consequently, she leaves Jaswant's home, prompting him to reflect on his mistakes and use the money collected towards Soumya's education rather than her wedding. In a heartwarming turn of events, Jaswant supports Soumya's independence, giving her the strength to face her future.
