Plot

Ashok (Rajasekhar) and Lakshmi (Meera Jasmine) are siblings, and their father Sarvarayudu (Rajasekhar), who was a landlord of the village, and mother (Sujitha) die during their childhood. Ashok and Lakshmi turn inseparable. Lakshmi falls in love with Akash (Akash) but makes it clear that she would love or marry him only with the blessings and acceptance of her brother, which he approves. Ashok marries Nandini (Aarthi Agarwal) on the same day. After their marriage, Aakash and Lakshmi lead a happy life, along with Akash's cousins and sisters-in-law. In a gap of seven years, Lakshmi has two daughters and a son. Nandini also becomes pregnant but suffers a miscarriage due to the intervention of one Kantham (Hema Choudhary), who stays with her claiming to be her aunt. As Nandini's uterus was removed, Ashok turns childless. To please him, Akash and Lakshmi bring their children to cajole him. By the time Akash returns to their house, his cousins cheat him and swindle the entire property, and he gets jailed in a cheque bounce case. As a result, Lakshmi and her children turn orphans. With the Kantham's advice, Nandini throws Lakshmi out of the house and warns her not to try to meet her brother. Now with no way to save her husband and family, Lakshmi and her children commit suicide. Upon learning this, Ashok also dies, proving that they are inseparable even in death.
