Plot
editBishal is a college student in Kathmandu. He is in love with Lily, but he is a playboy who does not take relationships seriously. He is barred from his college due to his misbehavior. Prior to this, he had already been expelled from every other college in the city. His father, Bishwa Pratap, sends him to a college in Pokhara. Bishal plans to get expelled somehow from the college in Pokhara so he can go back to Kathmandu. However, he sees Mala and falls in love with her at first sight. He decides to stay in the city. On the other hand, Abhayjan, Mala's father, wants Mala to marry. But Mala asks him for some time, and she promises him that if she does not get a life partner for herself in that time, she will marry whomever her father wants her to. Consequently, Mala and Bishal fall in love and decide to marry. Bishal is on his way to meet Abhayjan, but on the way, Pitambar hires a truck driver to kill him, and in an attempt to save himself, Bishal accidentally crashes into Abhayjan. Abhayjan is angered and publicly insults Bishal, and Bishal also gets angry at Abhayjan, and he also insults him for his disabled leg. Later, when Bishal arrives at Mala's house, he realizes that Abhayjan is her father. He apologizes to him, but he does not accept it. After their parents decline their relationship, Mala and Bishal run away. They wed and live in Sagar's house. There, the backstory of Sagar's life is revealed. His brother-in-law Jagat was considered a terrorist, and Sagar was formerly a police inspector. However, Sagar killed his wife Priya by mistake when she attempted to save her brother during bhai tika. Pitambar later captures Mala and Bishal.
