One day, Raju meets Saraswati (Madhuri Dixit) at a wedding and falls head over heels in love with her. Over the years, Laxmi increasingly isolated his aging father from the family and mainly Raju. Raju being naïve and uneducated, believed every word of his step-mother and her brother. Using this opportunity, they proved that Prem had become mentally unstable and locked him up in a corner room of the house. Laxmi and Totaram, hearing Prem, pours oil on the steps causing him to fall down the flight of stairs and hurting his head severely. When his father finds out that Raju stopped going to school at Laxmi's instructions, he called out to her to question her. She very cunningly misleads Raju to give up his education. In the process, unknowingly, he allows Laxmi to manipulate him. He showers Laxmi with love and respect, ever-ready to obey her every word. On the front, she puts up an act of being a very loving mother for Raju, who exhilarated for a mother's love, becomes a devoted son.
In the will, it has been written that Raju will have full control of his property only after marriage and unless his wife jointly consents with him, he will not be able to transfer his wealth and property to another name. And that Prem is only a trustee to all the wealth. However, Laxmi and Totaram are enraged when they find out that Prem's first wife had prepared a will before her death transferring all property to Raju.
Joining with her brother Totaram (Anupam Kher) and his wife Mynavati (Bharati Achrekar), they conspire on how to transfer all property to Laxmi's name. She married Raju's father only for his vast fortune, money and property. However, Laxmi turns out to be greedy, shrewd and cunning. On Raju's 5th birthday party, as a promised birthday gift, Prem brings home a new mother Laxmi (Aruna Irani), hoping that she will be a doting and caring mother for Raju. Raju had lost his mother at birth and feels deeply deprived of a mother's love. Raju (Anil Kapoor) is the only son of his rich landlord father Prem (Akash Khuranna).
