We come across Adithya, a rich entrepreneur, who struggles to stay alone but yet stays with his robotic devices. Yet, he feels empty. A flashback story explains how he, his father, Chandrasekhar and his mother, Nandhini died in a car accident and only Adithya survived, so he feels dejected. A grown up Adithya feels bad about it, meanwhile he gets a report from his executive manager and his income tax officer, stating that he has been fooled by his friend Arjun and his father Rajasekhar, that they have done forgery and has transacted over a lot of money into their account. Hearing this, Adithya gets angry and fires them from work. An angry Rajasekhar and Arjun decide to avenge Adithya. Arjun who is very dumb and childish, uses his own stupid tricks to avenge Adithya. Meanwhile Adithya goes into a shop to receive a gift where the shop is owned by Manimeghalai(a fake name created by Mythiri-the female protagonist-to conceal her identity from her brother which comes in the later part of the story), because of the quality of the material of the umbrella, even though the idea was great(It glows in various colors when rain falls on it). Manimeghalai argues with Adithya and pushes him and touches him which causes a sudden reaction in his body and skin starts to burn. That is when the audiences come to know that he has a skin allergy where human touch causes a reaction in his skin and causing him immense pain. Showing this, the first episode ends.
