Shrikant comes to Amit's house before marriage and Amit's father demands dowry in the form of gold just to make fun of him. He takes that seriously and thinking that wedding wouldn't take place if he couldn't get the gold, he gets fake jewellery. During wedding ceremony, Amit observes that and takes that opportunity to reject bride despite the fact that wedding already took place and Madhuri is his wife now. Amit's parents request Madhuri to wait for some time for Amit to correct his behavior.
But after a year, still Amit wouldn't come back to take Madhuri to her in-laws house. Madhuri wants to get a job in Bombay and goes to an interview.
