Plot

Swati (Suhasini) lives with her mother Saraswathi, who brought her up as a single mother and hasn't revealed anything about her husband. And so, Swathi thinks that her father is a cheater. Saraswathi works as a nurse under doctor Jaggaiah, who is also a widower with a daughter. Swati gets closer to Chakro, who is an unemployed graduate, and upon Chakro's suggestion, Swati gets her mother married to doctor Jaggaiah, but observes a change in her mother's behaviour, who feels embarrassed to introduce Swathi as her daughter. So she leaves that house. Meanwhile, she meets her biological father who is actually a very nice person, but was a victim of ill fate. Finally, Swathi's step-sister gets married, during which her biological father Satyam dies. She goes the different schools and realizes that her family is not worth her. She was a strong girl, and she was trying to get her unmarried mother to get married.
