Orphaned at very young ages, Shekhar (Shashi Kapoor) and Amit Malhotra (Amitabh Bachchan) are survivors and lead independent lives with Shekhar being a Squadron Leader with the Indian Air Force, and Amit a struggling writer. While Shekhar has fallen in love with lovely Shobha (Jaya Bhaduri), Amit woos an attractive Chandni (Rekha).
Both brothers plan to marry together. But fate has something much worse
in store for them when Shekhar is killed in a plane crash, leaving
behind a pregnant and devastated Shobha. Taking pity on Shobha's plight,
Amit marries her and writes to Chandni to forget him. This news breaks
Chandni's heart, and she goes on to marry Dr. V.K. Anand (Sanjeev Kumar), who is very much in love with her.
Tragedy strikes once more, and Shobha loses her child in a car
accident. With no child to tie them together, Amit and Shobha drift
apart. Amit happens to meet Chandni and they secretly rekindle their
romance. They meet on the sly, until one day when Chandni accidentally
hits a passerby. The police get involved, but Amit manages to hush the
matter up. But their secret meetings will no longer be secret anymore
for the police inspector in charge of this accident is none other than
Shobha's cousin (played by Kulbhushan Kharbanda),
who is determined to expose Amit's affair with Chandni. Soon Amit
decides that he can no longer continue this loveless marriage and wishes
to reconcile with Chandni. This news shatters Shobha but she does not
lose hope. She believes that if her love is true he will return to her.
Amit and Chandni leave town to start a new life elsewhere but tragedy
strikes. Dr. Anand's plane crashes causing both to return to the
wreckage site. There Amit is confronted with Shoba who in a fit of
emotions reveals that she is expecting his child. There Chandni herself
realises her love for her husband. The film ends with a song portraying
Amit and Shoba living happily with a message "Love is faith and faith is
forever".
