He leads a happy family life with his wife Madhavi (Anjali Devi) and two kids. Unfortunately, Madhavi suffers from cancer, but Anand does not lose heart, with his talent, he protects her health and tries to engage himself with hospital and patients. Madhavi feels bad about this and always asks him to remarry, but he never agrees to it. Once Anand visits a program of a popular dancer, Vijaya (Kanchana), during the performance she fractures her leg and Anand brings her to the hospital. Vijaya is emotionally imbalanced and suffers from panic attacks. Anand gives her moral support and boosts her willpower. She requests Anand to stay with her, he does so and he gets emotionally linked to her. The hospital staff and other people suspect their relation and rumours spread. So, Anand sends Vijaya away. But he gets mentally disturbed and leaves for her. On the way, he gives a lift to a heart patient (again N. T. Rama Rao) who resembles him. The person dies on the way. Anand exchanges his clothes with him and leaves the vehicle. Everybody thinks that Dr. Anand died. Anand reaches Vijaya, they live happily for some time.
