[edit] Plot

Indu (Shabana Azmi) and DK (Naseeruddin Shah) have a happy marriage and have 2 daughters of their own. The tranquility of their home is shattered when DK receives word that he has a son - early in his marriage to Indu, he had a brief affair with another woman (Supriya Pathak), who had his child and never told him. Now that she is dead, and the boy, Rahul (Jugal Hansraj), is in need of a father and a home. Over the objections of Indu, who is heartbroken and devastated to learn of her husband's unfaithfulness, the boy comes to stay with them in Delhi for a time. Rahul bonds with Indu and DK's daughters - and with DK - but Indu can't bear to look at the boy, who she sees as a physical, tangible reminder of DK's breach of her trust.

DK, worried by the effect that Rahul is having on his family, decides to put the latter in a boarding school in Nainital, which Rahul accepts with reluctance. After gaining acceptance at the school and returning back to Delhi before his permanent move to Nainital, Rahul figures out that DK is his father and runs away from home. After he is escorted home by a security guard, Rahul confesses his awareness of the identity of his father to Indu. Indu is unable to bear the heartbreak of the young child and intercepts Rahul before he is put onto the train to Nainital, thereby accepting Rahul into the family and forgiving DK.
