The train runs into a disastrous accident in which, apart from Chandu & Geeta, everyone dies, and the pair errors the opposite has passed away.
At present, Chandu proposes to Geeta, which she denies through a letter affirming her past, but it falls short. At that point, Rajeev acquires Chandu & Geeta's marriage album. So, he prints Chandu & Geeta's wedding cards and throws the ball at Chandu to create a rift. Then, Geeta rebukes Chandu, and he quits the house. Moreover, Rajeev rues by morphing the photographs and forges an unknown person as Geeta's husband. Being incognizant of it, Chandu only mingles Geeta with him. Chandu's aunt requests him to splice with Sireesha, which he disagrees with. But later, he allows it when Sireesha attempts suicide. During espousal, Sireesha obtains the letter Geeta wrote and breaks out the facts. At the same time, Rajeev plots to abduct Geeta on a train.
