Valli starts a fascinating journey seeking fresh hopes in life and an environment to suit herself. She hides her own identity in the new environment and tries settling into a new life without any burdens and sorrows. During this period, there comes a new problem which she had never imaged about.
Over time, enmity develops between Valli and a female rowdy named Indrasena. Indrasena is waiting for Valli to take revenge at the right time. Meanwhile, a lawyer named Nandan falls in love with Valli. Valli also accepts Nandan's desire for marriage. Both are engaged to be married.

Valli is upset that she is married to someone she does not know. After that, it is revealed that Vicky is a rich family guy who has the temperament to bet on money and do whatever it takes to win, and thus forcibly tied Thaali around Valli's neck in order to win the bet with Indrasena.
