Synopsis

The show story revolves around Padma (Devadarshini) Manokar (Chetan/Sathish) and Karpagam (Sandhya). Manohar and Padma are a happy couple, but even after many years of marriage, they are unable to have a child. Padma's sister in law Anjali(Rani) is jealous of Padma's wealth and covertly slips in medicines in Padma's food to make her infertile. Karpagam bears Manokar's child as a surrogate mother. The baby boy is born and named Shiva. Things turn bitter when Manokar and Karpagam are falsely accused of having an illegal relationship, and Padma wholeheartedly believes her sister in law and is angry with Manohar and Karpagam. Padma even agreed to divorce Manohar and Anjali does evil schemes with the help of her assistant Maha to permanently separate the couple and succeeds in brainwashing Padma. At one point, Padma got to know the cruel acts Anjali has done, such as poisoning her her and kidnapping her child. Knowing this, Padma confronts Maha of all the wrongfulness both her and Anjali have done. Maha realises her mistakes and admits all the wrongdoings to Padma. However, Anjali eavesdropped Padma and Maha's conversation and kills Maha for the backstabbing she had done. In the end, Padma and Manohar reunite, and their life turns better. Karpagam is relieved for the heartwarming moment she had been wanting. However, Anjali comes back to shoot Padma and Manohar, but Karpagam gets shot, but after a full recovery, she returns to Badrinath. Anjali is sent to jail and given punishment for many years for the murder of Maha as well as kidnapping her child.
