After the marriage, he discovers that Vinod, Rama and their aunt, Leela, had expected a huge dowry, and on receiving none are now pressuring Asha to get some money and a fridge. Anand arranges for money and gets them a fridge. Vinod and his family then start to create misunderstandings between Asha and Anand albeit in vain. Vinod becomes more and more greedy and possessive about Asha and refuses to permit her to see her father and brother. When Anand's father passes away, Vinod manages to get a motorcycle from Anand but continues to create a barrier between brother and sister, so much so that Asha is convinced that Anand is up to no good. Then one day they learn that Anand has embezzled money from his employer, Vijaya Bank, Santa Cruz Branch. Subsequently, they learn that while absconding, Anand died in an accident. Quite unknown to them Anand is still alive and with the help of wealthy smuggler, Kailashnath Rana, whose life he saved, is now masquerading as Rana himself, has befriended and seduced Rama, married her and is all set to avenge his humiliation at Vinod's hands. Before he could complete his vendetta, he is abducted by Kailashnath's arch-enemy, A.P. Lall, and held until Kailashnath himself comes to negotiate his release.
