Orphaned at the age of 8, abused by her maternal uncle's wife, Bharti is nevertheless told that her astrological chart foretells that she is very fortunate. The opposite happens when she refuses to marry Parshram, who vindictively breaks up her marriage ceremony with mentally challenged Sudhir Deshpande.
