However, Aparna uses her mother's plans for her marriage with Yuva to unite Meera and Yuva as she is aware of their relationship. On the day of wedding, Preethi claims that she's in love with Santhosh and will not marry Yuva.

He throws them out of the house. Then Yamuna takes the newly wed couple into their house and Gautham accepts their stay. But, Gautam starts to ignore Preethi and Yamuna as they caused the chaos on the day of marriage, believing that they were disloyal to him.

Although she was attracted to Yuva at first, she later plans to unite him with Meera as she knew that Meera is already suffering a lot due to lack of love from her father and didn't want to hurt her further. Meera decides to unite Preethi and Santosh aware of Santhosh's good nature. Later, Gautham invites Santhosh to his home to make a deal of leaving Preethi for a large amount of money. But Santhosh wins Gautham's heart and Gautham accepts Santhosh and Preethi's love. However, it is then revealed that Santhosh is in fact evil and he is the nephew of Gautham's business enemy Menaka, who plans to ruin his family by making Preethi marry Santhosh. Meera learns of this and tries her best to stop the wedding along with Yuva, but fails. Gautham is shocked to discover Santhosh's real identity after the marriage. Menaka demands Gautham to give up all his wealth and property so that Preethi can live happily. Gautham does so and is forced to leave the house alongside Meera and the rest of his family.
