All of sudden, Jagapati is conscious as Lavanya is a married lady. In that rage, he moves toward her and is startled to see her as a widow. Here as a flabbergast, Lavanya states that he is guilty of this situation and why she is so. Since she is the wife of Murari. Lavanya exploited love as a weapon against Jagapati to know the pain of losing the beloved. Parallelly, Lavanya starts divulging about their love affair to her mother-in-law. Murari & Lavanya liked each other in their college days. However, Lavanya faces severe harassment from her debauched maternal uncle C.I.Manipal who aspires to possess her. Therefore, to relieve her from his evil clutches Murari knitted Lavanya silently. Listening to it, Murari's mother feels happy for owing such a daughter-in-law.

Now, soul-searching begins inside Jagapati which entails him repenting, regretting, and reforming. Then, he turns into a stout-hearted and encounters the monstrosities in his terrain. Above all, he files up the case against himself for the homicide of Murari and also produces the witnesses. Besides, Jagapati is aware that Goud's son Ravi & Murari's sister Lalitha are turtle doves. Hence, he wedlocks them opposing his master when Goud rivals on Jagapati. Spotting his transformation Lavanya endears Jagapati. Eventually, Murari's mother also affirms him as her son and asks to espouse Lavanya. Meanwhile, incensed Goud mingles with Manipal and gets him down on deputation to his region. The two seize, break Jagapati down, and Manipal approaches forcibly to marry Lavanya. At last, Jagapati freaks out, ceases the blackguard, and surrenders before the judiciary.
