Synopsis: Chandrashekhar (Shammi Kapoor) or Shekhar as he is called now, belongs to an aristrocratic family, who believe laughter is a sign of belonging to the lower class, and as a result laughter is not encouraged in the household, run by Shekhar's domineering mom (Lalita Pawar). In this household the only one who dares to laugh and enjoy life is Shekhar's sister Mala (Shashikala), who also dares to love Jeevan (Anoop Kumar). Things change when their mom finds out about Mala's indiscretions, and she asks Shekhar to take her away from their home, to distant and scenic Kashmir, for awhile. She also instructs Shekhar to arrange to get married to a girl from a princely family. When Shekhar escorts Mala out of town, and on reaching Kashmir, he meets up with beautiful Rajkumari (Saira Banoo), and after being stranded with her for a night during a snowstorm, he realizes what he has been missing, and becomes a care-free man in love. This change is welcomed by Mala, but not by his mother. To make matte

You ought to understand.

You're a doctor!

I can't go to sleep,

thinking of the child.

Give him a sleeping pill, dad.

- Why don't you understand?

I'm here to take the baby home.

I'm his father! He's my son!

I will naturally crave for him.

What you must do, young man,

is to go and talk to the lady.

You don't know her, doctor.

If she gets to know...

my child won't be spared.

- And you don't know me either.

This isn't just a

question of Mala's honor...

it's a question of my life

and my promise too.

No harm will come to the child...

even if I died.

Just what we feared. Shekhar's using

deceit to get married.

Her mother will think that

the bride is a Rajkumari.

Whereas, she's a mere

physician's daughter.

The two of them are

conning the old lady.

We must delay this no further.

- We belong to a royal family, father.

What we don't get easily,

we have learnt to snatch.

You're right, my dear. We must

meet Shekhar's mother immediately.

She should know who's fake

and who's the real Rajkumari.

Hello!

- Hello!

This way, please...

I'll show you to the drawing room.

When did you arrive?

I'll tell Mother...

- Who are they?

This...

this is my mother!

How are you?

Haven't you recognized me?

I'm the Raja of Ramgarh.

This is my daughter.

Shekhar visited our place.

They liked each other very much.

Is this the Rajkumari?

So who's that girl?

- Pardon me?

Please be seated.

I'll be back in a moment.

Hurry up...

Who is this girl?

- Rajkumari.

Rajkumari of which place?

Which place, I say!

I'll explain, mother. Please...

- Mother...

I think you have

misunderstood something.

I'm no princess.

My name itself is Rajkumari.

How about your father?

- He's a doctor.

Where did you first meet Shekhar?

- In Kashmir.

When Mala took ill.

- I see.

Using Mala for a bait...

you started dreaming of spending

your lives in high palaces!

What dreams?

That which the poor dream

of becoming rich.

Hear me out, Mom. I'm the one

to blame, Mom. Not this poor girl.

How many rich households have

been ruined by such poor people!

Forgive me. I maybe poor.

But I have a decent upbringing.

Is that why your father

gave you the name Rajkumari?

So that you could deceive

everyone in the world?

My father is a doctor.

He saves lives. He deceives no one.

Neither does he invite people home

and humiliate them.

You gave her your blessings...

and I was satisfied.

"How beautiful are

my daughter-in-law's eyes"

"Apart from looks, she shows signs

of grooming in an elevated family"

"You aren't just going to be his wife,

but the daughter-in-law of this family"

"Any family she marries into...

she'll bring glory to it"

Chandrashekhar!

- Chandrashekhar is dead!

In his place is a man...

not a stone!

Human beings have principles.

They do not stoop!

Man falls. Principles are compromised

and families are ruined!

But hearts in love have never

surrendered... they never will!

Tell me the whole story.

What actually happened?

Should I go and clear

your misunderstanding?

No point in going there

anymore, dad.

If you ever go there,

you'll have to cope with me.

My God! You're so angry?

Just angry?

I feel like killing Shekhar!

Here I am... please yourself.

Dad, ask him to get lost. I don't

even want to set eyes on him!

Dad, you must ask her

what mistake I have made.

My mother had fixed

my alliance elsewhere...

and those folks showed up suddenly.

What could I do?

He's right. What could the

poor chap have done?

Poor chap? Such poor chaps

ought to be poisoned!

Like a coward, he just watched.

He couldn't even tell her that

he loves me and wants to marry me!

Raj, calm down and...

- I'm leaving.

It's between the two of you.

Call me, if anyone of you

has a cracked skull.

Listen to me, Raj...

hear me out!

Raj...

- Go away!

Go away, I say!

- Why don't you understand?

Won't you leave?

- I won't!

What misbehavior is this?

Stop this childishness!

"I'll consider it a favor..."

"if you will let me

tell you how I feel"

"I'm in love with you"

"Let me remain in the

shelters of our love"

"I'll consider it a favor..."

"if you will let me

tell you how I feel"

"I'm in love with you"

"Let me remain in the

shelters of our love"

"I'll consider it

a favor to me..."

"You are the one who

taught me to laugh"

"You are the one who

taught me to laugh"

"I'll cry...

if you ask me to"

"For my tears, do not grieve..."

"they flow, let them flow"

"I'm in love with you"

"Give me the shelter of our love"

"lt'll be a favor to me..."

"Make me, if you will.

Or destroy me..."

"Even in death...

I'll wish you well"

"Every fleck of dust from

my remains will say..."

"this heartburn in love,

let me bear"

"For I'm in love with you"

"Give me the shelter of our love"

"A favor it will be to me..."

"let me tell you

what's in my heart"

"I'm in love with you"

"Let me remain in the

shelters of your love"

"I'll consider it a favor..."

Mom... haven't you gone to sleep?

Maybe I will never

be able to sleep again.

How can a mother go to sleep,

when the son she has brought up...

tells her that he's dead for her?

Why don't you understand, Mom?

I'm in love with that girl.

I've promised to marry her.

How about the promise your father

made, when you were still a child?

I can't sacrifice my love

for that promise.

And I will lay down my life to see

that the promise is kept, Shekhar.

Mom!

You can't do that, Mom!

In which case, you will

not marry this girl.

You will have to forget her.

- Do not be stubborn, Mom...

If you love that girl more

than you value my life...

remember something, Shekhar.

You will be marrying the girl...

and my body will be

taken away from this house.

Mom!

- I have decided, Shekhar.

Why are you bent on snatching

my happiness, Mom?

You won't really do that, will you?

You said all that in a

fit of rage, didn't you?

Shekhar, I will do

what I have said.

All right, Mom. If you have decided,

I will not marry that girl.

But I swear, I will not marry

any other girl either.

"I'll consider it a favor..."

"if you will let me

tell you how I feel"

"I'm in love with you"

"Let me remain in the

shelters of your love"

"I'll consider it

a favor to me..."

"if you will let me

tell you how I feel"

"I'm in love with you"

"Give me the shelter of our love"

"lt'll be a favor to me..."

"Make me, if you will.

Or destroy me..."

"Even in death...

I'll wish you well"

"Every fleck of dust from

my remains will say..."

"this heartburn in love,

let me bear"

"For I'm in love with you"

"Give me the shelter of our love"

"A favor it will be to me..."

"let me tell you

what's in my heart"

"I'm in love with you"

"Let me remain in the

shelters of your love"

"A favor it will be to me..."

What happened, father?

I've just met Shekhar's mother.

The situation is grim.

This wedding could be held up

for a long time.

What for?

- Any reason?

I think she has a valid reason.

She says she's doing her best...
