Plot

The movie begins with an interview of a celebrated actor Anand (Sanjay Mitra) by Maya (Girija). It is one of those magical moments when love is in the air. Anand notices that for some mysterious reason, Maya, in spite of being in deep love with him, is not ready to marry him. Whenever he proposes marriage, she says that she is not eligible to marry him. One fine day she gives in to his pestering and tells him the facts of her life. We flashback to when Maya was 16 years old. Back from school, one day she sees her uncle waiting alone for her at home. He forces himself upon her, and in doing so leaves a permanent scar in her mind. Anand offers to marry her. They marry. Then there is a series of letdowns for Anand, since Maya will not let him have her. One day, after a major letdown, unable to bear the depression, Maya commits suicide.
