Roja (Tamil TV series)

The story starts with an accident with Tiger Manickam and Shenbagam on their car with their daughter Anu. Where Tiger gets into a coma, Shenbagam presumably dies, and Anu is lost. This accident was planned by Tiger's brother Sethu and Sethu's friend Maruthanaayagam. Anu is adopted with the name Roja by Shanthamoorty, who raises her in his orphanage. Many years later, Roja is grown up, but then a criminal named Bhaiya Ganesh enters the orphanage secretly to molest the girls. Eventually, a girl in the orphanage called Priya and Maruthanaayagam's daughter Saakshi killed Bhaiya Ganesh and blamed Shanthamoorthy, who is then arrested. Roja is also unaware of her heritage as the daughter of Tiger Manickam and Shenbagam. Priya meanwhile, finds Roja's childhood items which Roja had when she was with Tiger and Shenbagam, and Priya goes to Tiger Manickam and lies to him that she is his daughter. Priya is then named Anu. Anu is also well-affiliated with Shenbagam's family. Roja, to bring Shanthamoorthy back, marries renowned Lawyer Arjun Prathap on a contractual basis for one year who agrees to help Roja. Arjun is the nephew of Shenbagam and belongs to Shenbagam's family. Arjun receives Roja's consent to dissolve the marriage after precisely one year by getting signatures in a mutual consent agreement. Roja accepts this agreement so that Arjun could become involved in a case related to her foster father. Arjun dislikes love and marriage due to his traumatic past involving his friend Venu's demise but indulges in the contractual marriage in an attempt to prevent the friendship between him and Anu.

The entire family except for Arjun's mother, Kalpana and his siblings hate Roja because she took Anu's spot. Annapoorani, who is Arjun and Anu's grandmother and Shenbagam's mother hates Roja the most. Anu teams up with Annapoorani's evil daughter Yashoda and son-in-law Balu and tries to get Roja out of the house several times. Yashoda hates Roja because Roja once humiliated her. Roja tries several times to find out her heritage, and Shantamoorthy's case, but Anu stops her. Eventually, Roja and Arjun fall in love with each other and the contractual marriage is forgotten. A police office called Chandrakantha, who has a mysterious past, also decides to help Arjun with the Bhaiya Ganesh murder case. When she is close to figuring the mystery, she is stopped by the Commissioner Gowtham Nath, who is affiliated with Saakshi.

Annapoorani decides to make Anu marry Arjun's brother Ashwin, but Ashwin falls in love with a girl named Pooja. Ashwin and Pooja try to marry each other (with the help of Arjun, Roja, and Kamakshi) but are stopped by Annapoorani. Annapoorani, in her anger, decides to makes arrangements for Ashwin- Anu marriage and Ashwin agrees reluctantly after Pooja gets kidnapped. However, Arjun saves Pooja in the last minute and stops the wedding. Later, Ashwin secretly marries Pooja but hide the secret from their family. More twists arrive when it is revealed that Shenbagam is alive, but she has forgotten her past and lives as a nurse named Saraswati. Arjun tried many times to bring out the truth that Anu is not Shenbagam's daughter and is here only for money. But he gets stopped many them by Anu and her evil friend Sakshi. Later, Sarawasti (Shenbagam) somehow meets their family astrologer, and she cleverly tells her to follow her heart and search for her blood relations. Later, Roja repeatedly gets saved by Anu's evil plans to kill her by a woman - who is infact Shenbagam - and feels a motherly love to that woman. But every time, Roja was not able to see her face. However, one day, Anu sees Shenbagam alive and hides it from the rest of the family. Saakshi keeps Shenbagam in her house and plans to kill Shenbagam but Shenbagam finds out Anu and Saakshi are evil and escapes the house.
