Aasha meets Mala and offers to pay for her eye operation, so she can regain her sight.

Aasha cancels the wedding, calls Deepak "dost" (friend), and tells him to reunite with his wife and daughter.

Director-producer J. Om Prakash enlivened Aasha by having his camera crew secretly shoot without the boy's knowledge as his beloved grandson — Hrithik Roshan, who grew up to become one of India's most acclaimed superstar actors.

That was a remark that came from Jeetu (Jeetendra, the male lead of Aasha and a major Hindi film star).
