He loves Anitha deeply while she feels pity for him. In fact, he is known as her black cat security. One day, at the instigation of his friend, Santosh, he tries to kiss her. She is shocked but later uses the incident to cover up her relationship with Jeevan from her strict mother, who wants her to marry a doctor, Rajiv.

Anitha's uncle, a police officer, and mother fix her marriage after learning about her affair. She elopes with Jeevan and goes to Bangalore with the help of Aravindan but soon realizes that Jeevan is a pervert. The rest of the film narrates Anitha's future and Aravindan's deep love for her. [10]
