Parallelly, in a glimpse, Raisahib plots to perform the espousal of Ramakrishna with Kokila, the daughter of tycoon Bangaraiah and love interest to Ramakrishna's bestie Joogulu. Both make a game plan when Ramakrishna sends Joogulu as an alternative, and they are coupled up. In the meantime, she squeezes out her love when Ramakrishna scorns the women, and Vasantha flounces out, vowing to become his bride.
