Abi, a hard-working, ambitious woman with strong beliefs and her business rival and half brother, Aadhithya. Abhi with her mother, Karpagam maternal uncle, two sisters, Anandhi and Aarthi and brother, Manohar leads a healthy life though she tries to keep herself happy because she had a dark past.

Her father had abandoned her family and married another woman, Kanchana, the mother of Aadhithya, and has settled as a business tycoon. Abi initially gets married to Bhaskar but it turns out to be an abusive relationship. Her mother in law, Alamelu keeps torturing her constantly.

Eventually, Aadhi lures all Abi's close family members and turns out that all her family members are against her.

Abi divorces her husband and starts lives again. She starts a new company but is given competition by her stepbrother Aadhithya Eeswaramoorthy who considered her as a sworn rival. Abi escapes from his brother's tortures and puts an end to his injustice.

At the last scene, Abi with the help of her friend Tholkappiyan leads a peaceful and hermit life. Abi starts to help the orphanage, thereby ending what she couldn't help herself, but wishes to be dear among orphans even though they are not known to them. She leads a victorious life through the help of 2 friends, Tholkappiyan (Thols) and Usha, Aadhi's ex-wife.[6]

Production[edit]

Casting[edit]

V. Thiruselvam had some casting choices for the female lead, but B. Srinivasan preferred to cast a film artist for the female lead as he had already informed Sun TV. After having various discussions over the casting choices of film artists, they considered Soundarya for the female lead. Although she was interested, but couldn't immediately join the crew due to her 2 month contract with the Bharatiya Janata Party to support them during election campaign. Then Devayani was suggested for the female lead by the production side to the director to which he had agreed as she would perfectly fit into the character and she was already acting in films. Initially Devayani had some issues over the terms and conditions agreement with the production side, as a result she almost opted out of this series and they even negotiated with Kausalya to play the female lead. But, Sathyapriya who was signed to play the mother of the female lead managed to convince Devayani to play the female lead in this series and sorted out the misunderstanding between her and the production side. Apart from such issues, Devayani was very interested after listening to the script from her husband Rajakumaran to whom the director had already narrated and he had also praised the director. So, she signed to play the female lead Abinaya.[7][8][9][10][11][12] Devayani made her acting debut in television with this series.[13]
