It is like that once he got into the trouble on account of his greed for money, nature sort of plays a game to retrieve him from the commotion.
As the story goes, Dhansukh is a poor man today who grows to be a multi-millionaire. His sole motive in life is to earn a hundred crore rupees for which he can do anything and puts everything at risk. It is when this condition that a man enters the life of Dhansukh and claims to be the ‘unhappiness’ in his life. All this man wants, is for Dhansukh to give up his ambition to get the hundred crore rupees. However, such is his greed that he ignores this man and keep moving forward and does things to fulfil his aim. The result that happens is that he keep landing up in the hospital frequently due to heart attacks after every few days just as the ‘unhappiness’ had predicted. However, the reason nothing happened to Dhansukh was that his wife Suman and his father Mansukh had done many good deeds in their lives.
