Raja brings home a woman who is very fond of him and starts loving him. However, she is jealous of Bhuvana and Raja's affection for her as she wanted him solely for herself. She drives away the child by saying that Raja will love and take care of his own child only rather than her. The child reaches homefalls unconscious, and her grandfather comes to visit the child.

One day, she overhears her father's telephone conversation where her father plans to kill a man as he would be trapped for his crime if the man gives a true statement to police. Gauri begs her father not to do this, and her father promises her on seeing his daughter plead. However, the man is killed in an accident, and Gauri misunderstands that her father killed him as planned. She leaves her home as she did not want to be a daughter of a rich killer. Gauri goes to Raja and asks him to marry her. Initially, he hesitates as she is from a rich family and he is an ordinary man, but somehow she convinces him, and both get married.
