One day he meets with Kiran Choudhary, who has come on a holiday trip with a group of girls. He offers to show her around, and they fall in love with each other. Suraj is unable to see her home by the train as Prakash had chest pains and had to be rushed to the hospital. But Suraj is unable to get Kiran out of his mind and heart. Before Asha gets married, the family decide to relocate to Mumbai, where Suraj enlists in College and makes several new friends, as well as becomes a popular basketball player.
