Plot

The story revolves around three families: Shridhar and Suhasini Vashishta's family, Manjunath and Parimala Manjunath's family, and Ashwath and Padma Ashwath's family. Vedanth Vashishta, Vikranth Vashishta, and Aadya are children of Shridhar and Suhasini. Vedanth does not like girls and does not believe in marriage due to a troubled past. Padma Ashwath is the sister of Parimala. Her children are Sarthak and Sarika. Aarthi, Amulya, Aditi, and Anjali are the daughters of Parimala. The Vashishta family is very rich. The Ashwath family is also rich while the Manjunaths are a typical middle class family.

The story starts with Aadya and Sarthak's marriage ceremony. In the marriage, Vikranth meets and falls in love with Aarthi because she was similar to a girl who used to appear in his dreams. Sarika, who loves Vikranth, plots and causes Parimala and her family to be humiliated, to belittle them in the eyes of Vashishtas. Aarthi's parents fix her marriage with a man named Gowtham. Vikranth attempts suicide after getting the news. Vedanth decides to get Vikranth married to Aarthi, and joins efforts with Amulya for this. Vedanth and Amulya hate each other and are constantly fighting. Amulya and Sarika join Vedanth's office as his employees. With time, Vedanth learns that Gowtham is a criminal, but fails to prove this despite repeated attempts. Finally, on the day of Aarthi-Gowtham's marriage, Vedanth successfully reveals Gowtham's real identity. The love between Aarthi and Vikranth is no more a secret. After initial disturbances and misunderstandings, Vedanth ensures that both families agree to the marriage of Aarthi and Vikranth.

Suhasini does not like Aarthi and Vikranth's marriage due to Aarthi's middle class status, but is unable to directly refuse Vedanth. So she places a condition that Vikranth's marriage cannot happen unless Vedanth also agrees for marriage. Everyone tries to convince Vedanth for marriage but he does not agree. During this time, Suhasini's mother Vyjayanthi comes to the Vashishta house, and Aadya accidentally tells her that Amulya is Vedanth's girlfriend. Vedanth asks Amulya to act as his girlfriend till Vikranth and Aarthi's marriage.

During this period of drama as boyfriend and girlfriend, Amulya starts getting attracted to Vedanth. Vedanth and Amulya go for a picnic with their siblings and Vyjayanthi. Their acting convinces Vyjayanthi that they truly love each other. However, Amulya starts imagining Vedanth everywhere, and slowly realizes that she is really in love with him. Dhruva, who is the younger brother of Vedanth, is now introduced into the story. Vedanth and Suhasini are furious on seeing him.

Amulya calls Vedanth and tells him that she can't act as his girlfriend any more because she wants to be his real girlfriend. Vedanth misunderstands her and to everyone's surprise, he introduces his employee Sahithya as his girlfriend. Amulya is shattered when she hears Vedanth's decision. She confesses her love for Vedanth under the influence of alcohol, but he disregards it due to her being drunk. It is revealed that Vedanth has asked Sahithya to act as his girlfriend until Vikranth's marriage, and it remained a secret between them.

Marriage preparations start for Aarthi and Vikranth. Vedanth and Amulya grow closer during this period. On the reception day, Suhasini announces Vedanth's engagement with Sahithya. Everyone is shocked by this development. Sahithya has by now developed feelings for Vedanth, and wants to marry him. Amulya dreams that Vedanth stops this and gets engaged to her instead. She is heartbroken to witness Vedanth's engagement and cries her heart out to him. Vedanth is concerned at her unusual behavior, and seems to slowly start developing feelings for Amulya.

On the day of Vikranth-Aarthi's marriage, Sarika kidnaps Aarthi and takes her place as the bride, stepping on stage with her face covered. Aadya and Amulya find this out and inform Vedanth. He takes Dhruva's help to bring Aarthi back to the marriage hall. Vedanth replaces Sarika with Aarthi, and Vikranth is successfully married to Aarthi. Vedanth brings out Sarika's wrongdoings in front of everyone and has her kicked out of their lives. Vedanth finds things he has given to Amulya at different points of time kept carefully by her and confronts her about it. Amulya helplessly confesses her love to Vedanth once again, but later out of fear of rejection lies that she only loves him as a friend.

Vedanth is slowly understanding his feelings for Amulya. In this period, Suhasini plans to fix Vedanth and Sahithya's marriage. However, Vedanth reveals to everyone that he and Sahithya were just acting for the sake of Vikranth's marriage, and breaks his engagement with Sahithya. Everyone is delighted except Suhasini.
