Plot
editSarang Singh is a proud, arrogant, and powerful landlord who refuses to let people garland him, believing a man should never bow his head. He adores his little sister Chand, and she falls in love with Shiva. Shiva is from an agricultural background family and has a loving family—father, mother, sister, brother, and most importantly, his sister-in-law, Ganga, who adores him. Sarang learns of the romance and kills Shiva, Chand, and everyone in Shiva's family. However, Ganga, who was pregnant at the time, had just fainted. She makes an oath /saugandh that she will make Sarang bow his head. She challenges Sarang that she will have a son and Sarang will have a daughter and that her son will become Sarang's son-in-law and will make him bow his head. Sarang accepts the challenge and declares that he will kill her son when that day comes. Her son is named Shiva Kirplani, and Sarang names his daughter Chand (Shanti Priya). Chand is brought up as a ruthless guy rather than a girl. Shiva and Chand meet. Chand hates Shiva initially, and they fall in love soon enough. Ranbir Singh also wants to marry Chand to punish her for insulting him but fails as Chand and Shiva marry in the end; however, Sarang, being the proud man that he is, refuses to accept defeat and commits suicide.[5]
