Vishwaprasad arranges Sangeetha's marriage with Prasanna (Anant Nag), the younger brother of his business partner. Vishwaprasad manages to engage Anand at a concert in Chennai when the marriage is to take place. On finding this out, Anand rushes to stop the marriage but is attacked by Vishwaprasad's goons. In a tough fight he gets hit on the head, loses consciousness and admitted to the hospital.

Sangeetha tries to commit suicide by taking poison on the first night. Prasanna admits her to the hospital. Anand visits Sangeetha and makes her promise not to try such foolish acts again, and advises her to accept Prasanna as her husband. After several months, Sangeetha dies while delivering a baby girl. Prasanna faces problems as a single parent. His brother suggests that he remarry. Prasanna decides to marry a girl from a poor family.

Savitha likes Pallavi and now wants Prasanna to bring her back. Anand gives Pallavi back to Prasanna with a heavy heart. Pallavi is sad and unable to accept them as her parents. One day when Prasanna holds a cocktail party for friends, Pallavi unknowingly drinks alcohol and becomes unconscious. Prasanna admits her to the hospital.
