After a few initial encounters, Annalakshmi develops love for Anand. However, Anand has other plans. The mystery is soon unraveled and is made known that Anand hails from a family of doctors. When everyone thinks that Anand will tie the knot to Annalakshmi, the twist occurs in the form of Anand accepting an arranged marriage.
