Over a period of time, chiru transforms in his looks, behaviour and leaves his past life back. Over few reels, they both get attracted towards each other, but neither of them express their feelings. His mother, surprised by changes in his behaviour brings his maradalu(Radhika) from his village and tries to marry him off. At the same time, suhasini's family friend Rajasekhar arrives and her father plans her marriage with him.
