Plot

Jayanthi and her illegitimate daughter Amrutha are separated at Amrutha's birth, with Jayanthi misled into believing her daughter had died while the girl is raised by a butcher, Manikyam, who treats her unkindly. Rescued from the butcher, Amrutha is raised in a better home with a foster brother, Sandeep. When Sandeep marries Jayanthi's second daughter, Siri (who hates Amrutha), Jayanthi realizes who Amrutha is. Amrutha marries Rudra, a local goon. When Rudra is murdered by an enemy, Amrutha becomes a widow and finds her father and mother and she becomes pregnant.

She gives birth to a daughter, Anjali, whom she presumes dead in a fire accident. Amrutha goes insane while Anjali is raised by Kiran and Renuka (Jayanthi's legitimate son and daughter-in-law). After several years, Siri has a daughter Jaanu and she is separated from Sandeep. The family does not know that Anjali is Amrutha's daughter. Anjali does not accept Amrutha but eventually realizes her love for her. Renuka begins to hold a grudge against Amrutha. Amrutha moves on and remarries Arun, who is not ready to accept Anjali. He banishes Amrutha after learning that she is unable to conceive. However, he takes her back after learning that he cannot father children.

Arun pretends to accept Anjali but does not love her, which hurts her. Rudra is revealed to be alive and returns after plastic surgery as Shiva and joins as a driver at Arun's office. Arun suspects that Shiva is Rudra. Amrutha gets pregnant and Arun suspects that the baby is Shiva's baby. Arun accepts Amrutha when Jayanthi gets medical reports that Arun can become father. Jayanthi lies that that Amrutha is dead to prevent Rudra from spoiling Amrutha's new happiness. Arun learns that Shiva is Rudra and pretends to be normal so that he can snatch away Amrutha's property. Anjali and Rudra leave the city and Rudra gets diagnosed with blood cancer and leaves Anjali with a nun named Sister Mary and dies. Anjali returns as Amulya to help Amrutha.
