Aruna slips away from the wedding because she does not want to marry a cook. Shiva takes the development lightly and moves forward with his life. He decides to go to Chennai with Aruna's brother Prabhu to look for a job.

Shiva travels to Chennai accompanied by Prabhu, aiming to find employment after the plans are disrupted. The move signifies a fresh start away from the pending marriage. He begins a new life in a bustling city while continuing the search for opportunities.

One night, Shiva intervenes when Sandhya is threatened by goons, and he rescues her from danger. In gratitude, she kisses him, and a tentative attraction begins to form. This encounter plants the seed of romance in Shiva's heart.

After several chance meetings, Shiva begins to fall for Sandhya and hopes she might feel the same way. He keeps his feelings to himself while navigating a life filled with job worries and family expectations. The bond between them deepens quietly.

During Sandhya's birthday celebration, she announces her engagement to computer engineer Pratap. Shiva reveals his love for her in a moment of vulnerability, but Sandhya answers that she only feels friendship and asks him to stop loving her. The emotional tension leaves both of them unsettled.

Shiva receives a phone call and goes to the police, where he learns that Aruna eloped with her intended lover and was abandoned, leaving her penniless. She even attempts suicide, and Shiva brings her back to his home to care for her. He speaks up for Aruna and convinces the family to forgive her.

Before returning to the village, Aruna meets Pratap and discovers that Sandhya's fiancé is the very man who abandoned her. The revelation intensifies the complexity of Sandhya's relationship with Pratap. It foreshadows the impending wedding turmoil.

On the eve of the wedding, Sandhya confesses that she loves Shiva. Her father refuses to cancel the engagement, and instead offers Shiva a cheque for 10 million to leave. The last-ditch attempt to avoid an unhappy match reveals the depth of family involvement.

Desperate to be with Shiva, Sandhya runs away on her wedding day to search for him and declare her love. Shiva stops her, returning her to the wedding venue and choosing to face the consequences. The moment tests their courage and commitment amidst tradition and family pressure.

In a calculated ruse, Shiva and Pratap swap clothes in a room just before the ceremony. When the door opens, Shiva stands in the groom's attire and marries Sandhya while Pratap wears ordinary clothes. The switch leads to an unconventional but binding union.

During their wedding night, Shiva reveals that he offered Sandhya's father’s cheque to Pratap in exchange for calling off the engagement. He also explains that he anticipated the father would cancel the cheque, thinking he was cheating. The confession exposes the tactical choice behind their marriage.

The couple begins their life together, accepting the imperfect path that brought them to this moment. They navigate the consequences of deception while choosing to stand by each other. The ending focuses on their commitment and the courage to build a future together.
