The two are destined to reunite. Rescued from the unkind butcher, Shalini was raised in a better home with a foster brother Mahesh. When Mahesh marries the legitimate daughter of Jayanthi, Amala (who hates Shalini), Jayanthi realizes who Shalini is. Jayanthi must come to terms with her feelings about the daughter she believed dead.
