Rejecting the man her parents chose as her husband, she marries a wonderful but blind musician, Anyan, and they stage shows together. However, to earn more money, Anyan compromises his talent and works for pop singers and commercial film producers, causing Seema to walk out on him so as to remain devoted to the purity of her classical dance tradition.
