Besides, sly Viswaroopam & his shrew wife Bhadramma holds groceries and makes malpractice. To thwart it, Kesava Rao opens a government store that begrudges them. Hence, Bhadramma always affronts Seeta as sterile as she perturbed as childless. Meanwhile, Venu loves and knits a benevolent Lalitha the daughter of Viswaroopam. Seeta & Lalitha are cordial, and they build a jaunty world. The two conceive and deliver at once when Seeta is blessed with a baby boy, but Lalitha miscarries. During that plight, Kesava Rao & Seeta substitute their baby. Therefrom, dissension arises in the family signifying to split. Herein, Viswaroopam & Bhadramma are in cahoots and instigate Venu to seek his share which Lalita too prompts. Whereat, Kesava Rao collapses and entrusts totality to Venu. Parallelly, the boy is injured, loses blood, and Venu & Lalitha's blood group is unsuitable. Ergo, Seeta intervenes but is hindered by Viswaroopam & Bhadramma when the doctor affirms the actuality.
