Vidya refuses, chooses to break away, and leaves with her brother without informing him. Tragically, Vidya dies while giving birth to a baby boy. Her brother, overwhelmed by the situation, hands the newborn to his driver, Gangu Ganpat with orders to kill him. Yet [Gangu Ganpat] decides against murder, and, amid his own struggles and a longing for money, he ends up raising the child himself, naming him Heera.

Thirty years later, in 1981, a grown Heera resists giving liquor to his guardian, triggering a revelation about his origins. The truth about his beginnings weighs on him, and the man who raised him faces the consequences of his own past choices. In his life enters Mohini, the daughter of Kailash Nath, who is drawn to Heera even before she learns who he truly is. Mohini’s affection adds a layer of romance and tension, as Heera’s heroic nature meets the complexities of class, power, and family history.

As Heera navigates a new life, he takes a job at a factory owned by Mahendar Singh, the son of Ranvir Singh, who himself lives a troubled life with his wife on an estate. Ranvir carries the memory of Vidya and a guilt over the betrayal she faced, which colors his interactions with Heera and the people around him. Heera’s integrity and sense of fairness soon clash with Mahendar Singh’s exploitation of workers, and the young man’s stance begins to challenge the harsh realities of the factory system.

The clash intensifies when Mahendar Singh transfers Heera to an opulent hill-station estate, hoping to sideline him for good. There, Heera unexpectedly crosses paths with Ranvir Singh, who starts to see in Heera the son he never fully acknowledged, and a fragile bridge begins to form between past wrongdoing and present responsibility. Amid a tense atmosphere of danger and intrigue, a crucial function becomes the turning point: Mahendar Singh schemes to eliminate Heera, but Ranvir Singh’s presence and concern for family loyalties complicate the plan.
