Lies for Love: A Story of Sacrifice The plot revolves around Mohan (Jeetendra), a man burdened with the responsibility of supporting his large extended family. He struggles to find a job in his village and eventually heads to the city filled with hope. There, he encounters his childhood friend Manohar (Sanjeev Kumar) who introduces him to the wealthy businessman Kamalrai Mansukh Lal (Manmohan Krishna). Desperate for work, Mohan lies about being single to secure a secretarial position with Rai. Meanwhile, Rai's daughter Radha (Tanuja), a heart patient who has recently returned from abroad, finds solace in Mohan's company. Her health improves, and she falls deeply in love with him. Mohan is caught in a web of deceit. He cannot reveal his true marital status to Radha while also facing the challenges of his family arriving in the city, creating further complications. The film takes an interesting turn when Manohar, who facilitated Mohan's job, returns and reveals his affection for Radha. As the truth about Mohan's marital status comes to light, relationships are tested, and difficult choices need to be made. Jeene Ki Raah is not just a love story; it's a commentary on the sacrifices people make for their families.
