Sasneham depicts the story of Indira and Balachandran, past lovers, they reunited in an old age home. They two are neglected by their own family. Indira has two children, Manu and Mini. After her husband's death, Indira lives with her daughter and gives her land in the name of Manu and his cunning wife Priya. As Mini and her family leave to US for a better career, Indira is forced to shift to Manu's home. Priya hates Indira extremely and taunts her. Much to Indira's dismay, Manu also supports Priya and behaves like a puppet at Priya's hand. Priya tries to get rid of Indira and considers her as a burden. Meanwhile, Indira tolerates everything and stays there for the sake of her son and her grandchildren, who are fond of her.

On the other hand, Balan has a daughter, Meera who is a good lady by heart but is forced to behave harshly to her own father due to her arrogant and a money-minded advocate husband, Raghu. He taunts Meera and Balan and insults Balan. Even his grandson Sudhi, ridicules Balan. This worries Balan.

Priya tries every other methods to get rid of Indira. She even goes to the extent of killing her by putting up an act that she changed for good and takes her to a temple and pushes her into the temple pond and escapes. But to Priya's dismay, she returns to her home after being rescued by Shankaranarayanan aka Shanku, a lawyer, and his childhood sweetheart, Nandha. Shanku was bought up in Thanal, a destitute home for the elderly which was run by Nandha's parents as he was an orphan. They become Indira's saviours.

Meanwhile, a mutual friend of Indira and Balan, Zachariah comes in to the picture who is a millionaire but has no children. He grows fond of Balan and he turns out to be a consolation for Balan. Zachariah asks about his long lost love during his schooling, who is revealed to be Indira and Balan also confesses that he always remembers her and wishes to meet her. Zachariah gets Indira's phone number to Balan and they both start a beautiful friendship. They hide their imperfections and their sufferings and exchange lies such as being rich with many servants and having caring children and in-laws in order to avoid getting hurt by the reality mutually. They also visit once at a restaurant with the help of Zachariah. But the relationship is considered shameful as their children discover it. But they assure that they are just friends but Priya and Raghu pay no heed and Manu strongly opposes their relationship.

Indira decides to leave the house and goes to Thanal due to Priya's prolonged torture to leave the family. Unknown to Indira, Balan also joins Thanal due to Raghu's constant nagging. After a series of events, both Balan and Indira realize that they are on the same situation and vows themselves to not hide anything hereafter. Their friendship grows.

He reveals that Zachariah have written a will in which the whole property of him, totally with a value of 150 crores, will be inherited by Balan and Indira respectively but at the condition of them getting married. Both Priya and Raghu realize their folly and try to bring back to their respective homes ignoring Manu and Meera's strong opposition and warnings and tries to get Indira and Balan married, but all the efforts are in vain when they refuse to marry as both consider that marriage is a divine bond which cannot be exploited for one's greed for money.
