Now Mr. Moneybags create notoriety as if she eloped. At present, Jayanthi takes shelter at Dr. Vijayalakshmi (Krishna Kumari) as a caretaker to her infant children (Master Ramu & Baby Rohini). Here, Doctor's younger brother Prasad (Ranganath) aspires to marry Jayanthi which she too accepts. Meanwhile, Prameela elopes with Raja Shekaram's close friend Sivaram (Chandra Mohan) when these big shots mortify and pleads pardon from Raja Shekaram.
