Their father ([[Manivannan]]) remarried after his first wife's death, because of that his children does not speak to him. With his second wife, he has two daughters (Karpagam and [[Santhoshi]]). Ammu, the eldest of Madhavan's sisters, was raped by her widower professor ([[Nizhalgal Ravi]]). Madhavan asked Ammu to marry the professor, who was quite old. The other sisters did not know about the matter. Seetha elopes with her cousin Balasubramaniam ([[Livingston (actor)|Livingston]]) and they later come to stay in their neighbourhood.
