Plot

The story revolves around identical twin sisters, Aruna and Seema, who are poles apart. They come from a middle-class family. Aruna is a shy, simple, down-to-earth and soft-spoken girl, whereas Seema is bold, daring, modern and outgoing. Seema is more educated than Aruna. Aruna dreams of a simple married life with a loving husband, but Seema wants an extremely rich husband, who can provide her a luxurious life with all the riches.

Jayapal is the son of a business magnate, Gangadhara Menon, and is heir to millions, but he is an arrogant, spoiled womaniser. Aruna works in the town, while Seema is unemployed and enjoys life. Seema likes Jayapal because he is wealthy, but Jayapal falls in love with Aruna. He does not know that Seema and Aruna are twins.

Jayapal proposes to Aruna and they decide to marry, but Jayapal's stepmother, Lalitha Bai, poisons Jayapal's mind against Aruna and stops him from marrying her. Meanwhile, Seema marries Mohan, a friendly and nice man. Later, under dire circumstances, Jayapal and Aruna are forced to marry each other. Aruna still loves Jayapal, but he hates her and has turned into a drunk womaniser again. Jayapal and Lalitha abuse and torture the meek Aruna, until Seema in disguise as Aruna fights back. The story is about how Aruna wins back Jayapal's love and reforms him with the help of her sister Seema and father-in-law Gangadhara Menon. Lalitha Bai is put out of the house.

Later, Aruna and Jayapal have a son, Chandru. Seema and Mohan have a daughter, Haritha. Aruna and her son are arrogant because of their wealthy lifestyle but later reform.

After so many fights between Seema and Lalitha Bai, Seema wins at last. Lalitha Bai is suffering from cancer and is fighting death.
