Sethulakshmi is a dominant and greedy mother who forcefully pushed Prashanthan to marry Divya from the Meledath family. But Sethulakshmi was not happy that Divya will be part of their family with a worthless grant and small gold. All she wants is Divya’s wealth. She used her power as Divya’s mother-in-law and gave Divya and her parents an extremely big trouble. Mayuri is the cousin of Prashanthan asked about what is going on in the Palat’s family.
She wished to ruin Prashanthan and Divya’s marriage because she wants to become Prashanthan’s wife. She uses deceitful tricks when there is a chance. Meanwhile, Sethulakshmi found out that Divya’s jewelry are all fake, so she brings Divya back to their house. And later finds out that it is a settlement between Prashanthan and Govindhan, Divya’s father. So she decided that Divya can only come back to their house if she provides her entire ornaments.
Govindhan borrowed money to buy what Sethulakshmi wants and returned her daughter to the Palat’s house. Prakashan, the younger brother of Prashanthan, is in love with Veni. Sethulakshmi accepts her because she came from a wealthy family. Their marriage was arranged, and the conceited Veni entered the Palat’s household. However, Sethulakshmi did not give her freedom. And that’s where the story goes.
