On a holiday to Simla, she meets a young man Prem (Shashi Kapoor), an amateur skater. He teases her initially but later falls for her. After some wooing, Preeti also reciprocates his feelings. During a trip to hills, Preeti meets with an accident and loses consciousness. To save her from hypothermia, he gets close with her and one thing leads to another and they end up having intercourse.

Immediately after, Prem tells her that he got close only to save her and proposes to her. She gladly accepts and directs him to her father. Her father, Heerachand doesn't want her daughter to marry him and offers him money to leave her. Prem doesn't agree and leaves a letter for Preeti at her hospital explaining everything and asking her to come with him. But Heerachand meddles with the letter and rewrites it as if Prem was asking money to marry her. Preeti becomes surprised and decides to forget him and leaves for Bombay.

There she gets engaged with Dr. Amar (Shatrughan Sinha), her longterm friend and admirer. He leaves for Germany for higher studies and then Preeti comes to know about her pregnancy. Her father wants to abort the child but she doesn't agree, at last they decide to go to Khandala to give birth. She goes there and unknown to her Prem stays there along with his mother. Preeti gives birth to a healthy boy there. Knowing that, Prem requests to take child for himself. Heerachand agrees and gives him the child. Preeti is told that the baby was stillborn. She mourns and comes back to Bombay.

Prem comes to Bombay along with his son and starts a career as skating teacher. His son Rahul can't walk due to a polio attack. After years Prem again meets Preeti in a function. She thinks that Prem got married and had a son. In that function Amar announces that he wouldn't marry till he makes Rahul walk. He starts treating Rahul and meanwhile Preeti grows attached to Rahul without knowing that he is her son. She tries to talk to Prem, who then knows the truth that Heerachand changed his letter.
