Sharadha tries and succeeds in turning Janu against her elder sister in law. In the mix arrives the flamboyant son in law of the house, who is basically living off his wife's family. After some time of trying to get some money off his in laws, he is pressurized by the wife to take her to his place of work and residence. He is running a failing circus business with his girl friend. He is arrested for cheating his employees and Sharadha is left alone.
