Thereupon, Radha's father insults them due to their financial status, as a result, Radha has to marry Venu against her father's wishes. Radha is unable to acclimatize to the poverty and is haughty towards them. Moreover, she could not admit the dominance and derision of Venu's sister Kamala (Krishna Kumari). Meanwhile, Venu acquires a job as a bank officer and resides in the city, as Radha restricts, Lakshmi Kanthamma and Kamala stay back. At that juncture, Venu meets his childhood friend O. S. Rao (Relangi) & his Suguna (S. Varalakshmi) as neighbors. At present, Venu could not bear spendthrift Radha and becomes incapable to allocate the budget for his mother. Hence, the lenders' auction their house for debts made for Venu's education. So, helpless, Lakshmi Kanthamma and Kamala reach Venu where Radha starts humiliating them. Once, when Venu is in camp, she attributes a heist to Kamala which makes them leave the house. On the way, Lakshmi Kanthamma encounters an accident made by Kaasulu (Chalam) who gives them shelter, without the choice of his miserly father Singaraju Lingaraju (K. V. S. Sharma) a millionaire. Kaasulu and Kamala fall for each other. Soon after the return, Venu realizes the fact and moves in search of his family. During that time, Radha misuses his bank treasure for her false prestige.

Immediately, Radha seeks her father's help which he denies, but later, steps in, after perceiving the value of love and affection through Suguna.
