Sandhya and Nikhil are a happily married, urban, professional couple. Coming from middle class families, both of them have risen in their professional life by virtue of merit and hard work. On their eighth wedding anniversary celebrations, one of their friends brings along his nephew, Rahul, who is a classical singer. Sandhya develops a sudden attraction to him, and has an affair with him. She confides about this to her friend, Prabha, but does not tell Nikhil about it. The affair ends in a couple of months. After about a year, Nikhil falls in love with his assistant in the lab, Vrinda. He tells Sandhya about it and leaves her for Vrinda. Sandhya is shattered as they part ways. Four years after the divorce, they meet again, albeit this time as friends. Sandhya mentions to Nikhil about her affair with Rahul. This leaves Nikhil shattered. "At least, I was honest to you", he says. Sandhya argues with him that since she loved him and wanted to keep the marriage going, she did not tell him at that point of time. She too was, in her own way, honest about her feelings about him.
