Kannamma is a pure-hearted girl who is looked down upon by her beautiful stepsister, Anjali, and step-mother, Bhagyalakshmi, due to her dark complexion. Her father however supports and praises her kind nature. Soundarya is a business tycoon who is obsessed with Eurocentric beauty and when Anjali wins the Miss Chennai competition, she arranges a marriage between her and her younger son, Akhilan. Akhilan takes an instant liking to Anjali, but Anjali likes his brother, Bharathi. During this love triangle, Bharathi and Kannamma frequently cross paths, and Bharathi ends up falling for her.
Anjali attempts to blackmail Bharathi into marrying her by threatening suicide, but Bharathi approaches her father to ask his permission to marry Kannamma, and reveals that he is infertile. He then asks him to break the news to Kannamma, and on the condition that she is okay with that, he will marry her. However, Kannamma's father does not tell Kannamma about his infertility, and she consents to the marriage. Kannamma is ecstatic that she will be marrying a good-hearted man. On Anjali's birthday, Bharathi marries Kannamma, enraging both his mother and Anjali. Akhil and Bharathi's father Venu are happy. Soundarya allows Kannamma into the house after insulting her. Anjali marries Akhil and schemes to get rid of Kannamma so that she can divorce Akhil and marry Bharathi, but is thwarted by Soundarya, and later starts to fall in love with Akhil.
Dr. Venba, a coworker madly in love with Bharathi, schemes to break up Bharathi and Kannamma as she wants Bharathi for herself. Kannamma consults with Venba as she is having trouble conceiving, but Venba uses this in her scheme, convincing Bharathi to make it look like she is the reason why they cannot conceive. During a reunion, Varun, a friend of Kannamma, attends, and Venba plants the idea that Kannamma is having an affair with Varun in Bharathi's head.
Having learned that Kannamma is allegedly infertile, Soundarya calls on Bharathi to remarry, with Venba happy that she can be the second wife, but Soundarya wants him to marry someone else. Soon after, Kannamma starts showing symptoms of pregnancy, and later shows a positive pregnancy test to Soundarya, so as to stop her from trying to find Bharathi a new wife. Venba hires a killer, Durga, to kill Kannamma, but the killer later realizes that Kannamma is a good person and he sticks around to stop Venba from trying to kill her and meddle in her life.
It is revealed that Venba killed Bharathi's ex, Hema, and Durga comes clean to Kannamma about his original intentions, but says that Bharathi is the one who wanted her dead and not Venba, as he is in love with Venba. Kannamma attempts to leave the house and reveals to Soundarya that her son is trying to kill her and her baby. The family confronts Bharathi, who says he is not trying to kill her but reveals that he cannot be the father.
Kannamma goes to her parents house and yells at her father for not telling her the truth about his alleged infertility and she leaves. The family tries to get Bharathi to do another fertility test but is stopped by Venba. Kannamma gives birth to twins (Hema and Lakshmi), but Soundarya takes the darker-skinned of the twins unbeknownst to Kannamma, as she wanted to help Kannamma. Soundarya takes the baby home, and saves Bharathi's life by crying which gets him to tend to her, as a chandelier falls. He then takes an interest in the baby and names her Hema, after his ex. Kannamma stays with the nurse, Thulasi. Venba tries to marry Bharathi and almost succeeds but is thwarted by Soundarya.
In the rustic charm of a village setting, the lives of Lakshmi, affectionately known as Soundharyalakshmi, and Hema intertwined amidst the bustling daily affairs. Their existence found grounding in the presence of Kannamma, a skilled seamstress whose humble shop served as a beacon of community activity.
Into this quaint backdrop arrived Bharathi and his family, bearing the altruistic intention of establishing a free medical camp. It was here that Bharathi's path crossed with Lakshmi's, yet unbeknownst to him, she was his own flesh and blood. Meanwhile, Durga, now a doctor, found himself embroiled in professional rivalry with Venba, leading to simmering tensions.
As Lakshmi and Hema forged a friendship within the schoolyard, Bharathi's fondness for Lakshmi burgeoned, oblivious to the intricate web of relationships that bound them. Despite familial objections, Bharathi's heart leaned towards marrying Venba, until her mistreatment of Hema raised doubts in his mind.
In a twist of fate, Kannamma embarked on an entrepreneurial venture alongside Thulasi and Sumathi, unraveling threads of opportunity amidst the village's fabric. The revelation of shared birthdays between Lakshmi and Hema ignited curiosity, unveiling Kannamma's maternal lineage to Bharathi's astonishment.
An unexpected turn of events led Bharathi to contemplate leaving for abroad with Hema, prompting Venba to resort to drastic measures, including the kidnapping of Hema. Suspicion fell upon Kannamma, but Bharathi's realization of her innocence prompted a change of heart. Eventually, Bharathi embraced the truth of Lakshmi's parentage, setting the stage for a profound journey of reconciliation.
Amidst the complexities of familial dynamics, Anjali's pregnancy unveiled hidden truths and Venba's nefarious schemes, leading to a rift within the family. As Anjali's health and familial bonds teetered on the brink, Kannamma emerged as a beacon of hope, her nurturing presence proving pivotal in Hema's well-being.
The revelation of Lakshmi's true identity sparked a quest for familial reconnection, while Venba's deceitful machinations threatened to tear apart the fragile fabric of trust. Amidst legal battles and emotional turmoil, Bharathi and Kannamma found themselves bound by destiny's intricate design, navigating the tumultuous waters of love and forgiveness.
In a poignant culmination, Bharathi's journey of self-discovery led to reconciliation with Kannamma, culminating in a remarriage fueled by newfound understanding and mutual respect. As the curtain fell on their tumultuous saga, the village witnessed the triumph of love over adversity, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of life's myriad challenges.
