When she learned she had terminal cancer, she abandoned her revenge plan and instead worked to keep the family united by accepting Lakshmi and ensuring an heir would be born to preserve the family legacy.

Sravani was dying from cancer and knew she could not bear an heir for the family.

She welcomed Lakshmi's pregnancy because it ensured Vijaya Raghava would have an heir and the family line would be secured after her death.

Foreshadowing: Bhuvaneswari Devi had earlier challenged Sravani to secure an heir by any means, showing the family's concern about succession.
