Infertile, Shravani forms a motherly bond with Surya's daughter, Deeksha, who was abandoned by Surya's ex-wife, Nisha.

Plot
Dr. Shravani and CEO Surya, who reside as neighbors, initially had a strained relationship and harbored mutual dislike. However, destiny intervenes, bringing them together through their shared affection for Deeksha, Surya's daughter from his former wife, Nisha. Surya, having suffered a betrayal by being left for a wealthier man and boss named Jaydev, loses faith in love and relationships. Establishing a bond with his daughter Deeksha proves challenging, as she was only six months old when Nisha left.

Meanwhile, Dr. Shravani, who adores children but faces infertility due to a medical condition, forms a deep bond with Deeksha. Despite initial animosity rooted in misunderstandings, Surya and Shravani decide to enter a marriage of convenience for Deeksha's well-being.
