Plot

Ravi Kapoor (Jeetendra) is a multimillionaire, who lives with his mother (Sushma Seth) and runs a construction business. His mother wants him to marry the foreign-returned Seema (Hema Malini), who also comes from another wealthy family. But Ravi is in love with Sharda (Rekha). Ravi introduces her to his mother, but she instantly disapproves of her. Ravi leaves home and marries Sharda.

After some time, when Sharda becomes pregnant, Ravi's mother relents and welcomes them back home. When Sharda meets with an accident, has a miscarriage and is told that she will never be able to conceive again, Ravi's mother finds a way to get rid of her from Ravi's life. She then forces him to marry Seema. Ravi and Seema have a son.

Vijay (Karan Shah) grows up as a spoiled brat of the wealthy family. One day Ravi accidentally meets Sharda who now runs an ashram named Shanti-Dham. Around the same time, Vijay gets into an altercation with a powerful underworld Don Samrat (Kader Khan) who sets out to kill him. To protect Vijay, Ravi hides him in Shanti-Dham.

Sharda's influence completely changes the spoilt Vijay, who leaves all his bad habits behind. He also falls in love with Ila (Mandakini), who has been brought up by Sharda. Seema soon finds out about it all and is enraged to know that Sharda has come back into their lives. She rushes to Shanti Dham to get her son back. Samrat attacks the ashram at the same time. In the ensuing melee, Sharda sacrifices her life to protect Vijay.
