They have 1 son, Alok and 1 daughter, Deepa, who've left them all alone and emigrated abroad with their respective spouses. Meanwhile, in the city of Gorakhpur, a young girl named Purvi Singh is in love with a boy named Babu Tripathi. Due to caste differences she hides this from her parents, who later find out and decide to marry Purvi with another guy who is the same caste. Purvi runs away on the day of her engagement and leaves for Varanasi to meet Babu, who is unaware of everything. Upon reaching Benares, Babu angrily scolds her for eloping. The reaction of Babu angers Poorvi who jumps into the Ganges river to commit suicide but is rescued by Pandit Jagannath. He takes her to his house and tells his wife what had happened. Purvi doesn't tell them right away about her life but later when Pandit Jaganath finds out why Purvi left home and tried to commit suicide he calls Poorvi's parents. When Purvi's parents come to collect her they scold and beat Poorvi instead of showing her the love and compassion. When Jagannath witnesses Purvi being beaten by her parents, he saves Purvi and scold her parents. Purvi's parents leave and say that from then on they believe their daughter to be dead for them and leave.[10][11][12][13]
