Synopsis

The show story revolves around Padma (Devadarshini) Manokar (Chetan/Sathish) and Karpagam (Sandhya Jagarlamudi). Manohar and Padma are a happy couple, but even after many years of marriage, they are unable to have a child. Padma's sister in law Anjali (Rani) is jealous of Padma's wealth and covertly slips in medicines in Padma's food to make her infertile. Karpagam bears Manokar's child as a surrogate mother. The baby boy is born and named Shiva. Padma does not know Karpagam is the surrogate mother however Anjali finds out. Things turn bitter when Manokar and Karpagam are falsely accused of having an illegal relationship, and Padma wholeheartedly believes her sister in law and gets angry at Manohar. The subsequent evil schemes Anjali comes up with to separate Padma and Manohar form the crux of the show.
