Chitralekha

(1964)

When Aryaputra Samant Bijgupt (Pradeep Kumar) ignores Yashodhara and continues to frequent Rajnartaki Chitralekha (Meena Kumari), Yashodhara's father, Mrityunjay, approaches celibate Yogi Kumargiri (Ashok Kumar), who reprimands Chitralekha and asks her to free Bijgupt so that he can marry and sire a heir. She initially refuses, but subsequently decides to abandon her lavish lifestyle, and re-locates to the Ashram of Kumargiri and his male disciples, leaving a disillusioned Bijgupt no choice but to accede to the request of Samrat Chandragupt and marry Yashodhara.
