Mahesh reveals that he was very disciplined due to his upbringing in a military family. He used to regularly exercise, wake up early, read newspapers, and keep his house/clothes clean. He wanted a wife who was disciplined, would be proactive in looking after her husband's needs, and would advise in his job-related designs. However, Mridula fails to meet his expectations.
			One day, a servant, Oormila, is hired. Oormila takes an active interest in Mahesh's activities and lives up to his expectations. Mahesh is highly impressed with Oormila. However, this annoys Mridula when she realises that Oormila is in fact Ulahannan's wife. Oormila was hired to make Mridula understand the responsibilities of a wife.
