Chhotey Kunver Karan U. Singh, a scion living a luxurious life in a palace, shares a home with his widowed mother, Rani Maa, and his elder brother’s family. Raised largely by a nanny who he believes is his real mother, he grows into a charming but self-destructive man—a womanizer and an alcoholic.
When Lata—a former air hostess—is rescued by him while being harassed by her boss, he hires her as his secretary and invites her father Nazir Hussain and mother Sulochana Latkar to move into one of his cottages. Lata attempts to change his bad habits. While she initially meets with opposition, she eventually succeeds and they fall in love.
