One whom he could never love and one whom he could never stop loving. Intensely loved by two women, who were never meant to be his. Meanwhile, Paro, on the other hand, performed her worldly duties sincerely, but inside her heart, she could never forget Devdas for a moment. A unique bond was formed between both as he could share with her the intense pain of his unfulfilled love for Paro. Chandramukhi, a stunning courtesan instantly lost her heart to Devdas. She scorned him for not standing by her and they parted forever with a heart-broken Paro entering into a chaste marriage with a wealthy, much older man, Zamindar Bhuvan (Vijayendra Ghagte), while a shattered Devdas walked towards anguish, alcoholism & Chandramukhi (Madhuri Dixit). Only, he didn't realize that he would never be able to forget her ever! And much later, when he reached out to her, it was too late as she was far too humiliated.
Finally, he moved away from Paro and wrote a letter to her, asking her to forget him. It caused a rift between the families and even though Devdas tried to convince his father, only antagonism came his way.
But Zamindar Narayan Mukherjee (Vijay Crishna), Devdas' father, met Paro's mother Sumitra's (Kiran Kher) marriage proposal with condescending arrogance. Devdas was besotted by her stunning beauty and longed to have her back. Paro's world crashed knowing that her Devdas would be gone and she lit a diya, for it signified the fast coming back of her loved one. But the reverie was broken when his family sent Devdas to London for education. Slowly, it changed to love but it was still unsaid. Oblivious of all the differences of status and background, a bond that would never break grew between them. They grew up sharing a special relationship, in which they existed only to each other. R, where he spent his childhood, indulged by his lovely playmate Paro (Aishwarya).
