He can't help but go in and meet Shabnam who is a singer and dancer there. She is an admirer of Akash's work but doesn't know him. The acquaintance soon turns into love for each other. But neither the courtesan's mother Amina Bai nor Akash's father is willing for the relationship. Things take a turn when Shabnam is accused of Amina Bai's murder.
