One day Raji reveals to Sneha that a prisoner(Karunakaran) is her elder brother & Sneha's father. Sneha doesn't accept him as her father as he has done a crime of killing Sneha's mother. Sneha will fall in love with Dwarkesh (Ashwin) and marry him. Sneha's mother is Dwarkesh's father sister. Dwarkesh's father hates karunakaran as he was the one who killed his sister. Raghavan is initially unaware that Sneha is his sister's daughter and he opposes her relationship with his son, Dwarakesh as Sneha works in the same company as his older son, Rajiv(a company owned his son's father in law). Raghavan is still furious at his older son, Rajiv for eloping with his rich girlfriend Uma, and marrying her. Hence, he wants nothing to do with Rajiv. Eventually one day, Sneha and Dwarkesh made a secret register marriage without both families knowing. Dwarkesh's evil sister in law, Uma (Rajiv's wife) will let everyone know the secret that Dwarkesh had a secret marriage with Sneha. Dwarkesh family would be furious with him.
