Now Siddarth's friend Jeeva with the help of Chandra joins as a home teacher for Abi. Chandra's engagement gets fixed with Sanjay. Chandra and Sanjay get engagement and they have already register to their marriage. From this Chandra write her name as Chandra Sanjay. After the fake marriage drama of Siddarth, Abi joins him.

Chandra and Sanjay get married happily as a lovely couple against Lekha and Vasundara's wishes. Now, the story is dragging with Pooja's murder track. Anbarasu, Vignesh and Kathir killed Pooja and framed Sanjay for the murder. Sanjay is in jail and Chandra tried her best to prove his innocence. Later with the help of Inspector Siddarth Chandra had finally released sanjay from the jail.
Then Sanjay and Chandra overcome a lot of difficulties whereas the home they lived in had to be sold because of Sanjay's image which had spoiled due to the incident being in a prison. So, Chandra and Sanjay begin to find for a contract to sign and work for and they manage to secure one. Now the story goes in track that Sanjay and Chandra had to travel to Yercaud in order to have a look of their construction site in there. Lekha together with Sanjay's ex lover (Rudhradevi) plans to kill Chandra. Rudhra who was in love with Sanjay wanted to get rid of Chandra in order to marry Sanjay. It is found said that Sanjay's engagement with Rudhra was cancelled before because of the lie she said to Sanjay in order to marry him. Just before the significant part of the engagement was about to be held some police officers urged to arrest Rudhradevi for her action against the government for selling drugs around. After learning the truth of Rudhra, Chandra promised to support Sanjay throughout their live. Then with the blessing of their parents, Sanjay and Chandra traveled to Yercaud. Lekha too had secretly followed them in order to kill Chandra in order to kill her baby too. She lied to her husband that she had to attend her friend's wedding in some other place and Sabari reluctantly let her go. Then, with a help of a lorry driver Lekha managed to activate her plan. Sanjay and Chandra then met an accident. Sanjay was admitted in a hospital and Chandra was laying down unconsciously bottom of a mountain. 
On the same night, with the help of four strangers (who are brothers)  Chandra was brought to the nearby hospital. Now, it was found that Chandra is alive but she had forgotten who she was. She lived with the strangers who soon accepted her and gave her the name Mayilu (the name of their dead sister). Then Chandra lived there and prayed with hope that she could find her family. As for Sanjay's parents they lost the hope that Chandra was alive but Sanjay always believed that Chandra was there somewhere waiting for him. Sanjay then met a village girl called Nila who looked exactly like Chandra. Sanjay and his construction friend introduced Nila to Sanjay's parents and Nila then noticed that they both look alike. Nila was interested in getting married to Sanjay and Sanjay's parents also thought of getting their son married to Nila.
Meanwhile, Chandra had been caught by a crazy guy who simply wanted to marry her due to her beauty. Chandra prayed hard that someone could save her. One day, when Nila was out she met a guy who saw her and screamed 'ghost'. She was puzzled and asked the guy for the reason of he saying that. Then, she found that it was Lekha's plan to kill Chandra who was alike like her. She called Lekha and scolded her but Lekha who was evil had already known that Chandra was alive living with that guy in his house. Analizing the answers of Lekha, nila then understood that Chandra was alive living somewhere in Yercaud. As for Nila, she had found the brothers Chandra lived with when she was unconscious. Then she found out that Chandra was alive and planned to rescue her. She had then finally lost her interest getting married to Sanjay. She decided to try her best in helping Chandra and Sanjay. Next, on the day of the fraud's marriage with Chandra, Vignesh and Sethupathi brought Chandra out of that area by telling the lie that Vignesh was her husband. Chandra finally found out that they both are lying. When she tried of running away, Vignesh threw a wood towards Chandra and she fell down. Then, Nila rescued Chandra from the hospital that she was admitted to. Chandra was now conscious after that incident. Then, with the help of  Nila's brother Nila  rescued Chandra and brought her back home. Radha presented Nila a necklace and Nila accepted the gift. As for Chandra she was happy to be with her husband but was sad that her baby had die in the accident. Chandra and Nila then become best friends. 
Back in their area, Chandra and Sanjay started to find for a new job but then  Chandra was send to the prison. She was then accused of killing Jeeva who had came to the temple with Abi to pray for Abi's birtday.  Abi mistook that Chandra had killed Jeeva after seeing Chandra taking out a knife from Jeeva's body.  It was actually Paal Paandi who had killed Jeeva instead of killing Chandra. It was a setup of Lekha and Vasundara. Siddarth then got to know that his wife had died went to the mortuary room and found out that it wasn't Jeeva who had been killed but Jennifer ( the lady who looked like Jeeva and worked as a police officer).  Siddarth also found out that Jeeva is kidnapped by someone who wanted to kidnap Jennifer. Then with the help of Nila, chandra went out of the prison leaving Nila in the prison as Chandra. Both of them decided to act as each and other in order to  not let the others to be curious about their behaviour. Siddarth had too helped Chandra to prove her innocence. Later, Chandra was proven innocent and Jeeva was brought out of the stranger's custody. Paal  Paandi was now arrested and sent into the jail. 
Chandra and Sanjay thanked Nila for her help for letting Chandra to be outside the jail to work together with Siddarth in order to find the real culprit. Then Chandra, Sanjay, Siddarth and Jeeva planned to help Nila to get married with her relation Thiruvasagam who is her mother's brother's son. Nila's mother (Bhairavi)  was actually been cheated by a man. Then she eventually was pregnant and her child Nila was then sent to her friend. Nila was found growing without both her parents but with her non-biological brother and Grandma. Bhairavi and Sundaram ( Bhairavi's brother) decided to get their daughter and son married before Bhairavi's death ( She was having cancer) . Sundaram got up with a master plan. Nila then went to Thiru as a person who wanted a job when Thiru was in a club after drinking. Nila then acted that Thiru who was drunk had done something to her. Thiru then decided to marry Nila. Both of them had eventually fell in love with each and other and Chandra, Sanjay, Siddarth and Jeeva supported Nila marrying with Thiru. The marriage was to be held against the wish of Anjali (who had sincerely loved Thiru), Sinthamani and Lekha ( who wanted to revenge Nila who had helped Chandra before). This three come up with an idea to destroy the wedding of Thiru and Nila. They wanted Anjali to get married with Thiru. They come up with an idea to kidnap Thiru with the help of Vignesh and to sent Nila to the jail with the help of Sethupathi but both this plan had become a failure. With the help of  Siddarth, Chandra and Sanjay rescued Thiru from Vignesh and had released Nila out of the prison. Now they had gotten up ready to head to the wedding. The three who thought of stopping the wedding later regret that their plans had become a failure.
Sinthamani despite being a stubborn character did not give up. She ordered a guy to bring a kind of poison which could kill Nila. She secretly added it in Nila's drink and Nila who drank the drink then went to her room feeling dizzy. Thiru sent Nila to her room for her to rest and gave her a kiss. Then the three went to the room and noticed that their plan had succeed. Nila was lying on the floor unconsciously wit blood stains on the floor. They wrapped Nila in a bedsheet and threw her body outside of the wedding hall so that no one could save her. Then the three went to the stage to dance. Meanwhile, Chandra realised that something's wrong after seeing Anjali, Sinthamani and Lekha dancing on the stage. She calls Jeeva and goes into Nila's room. Then, both of them spotted some blood stain on the floor and worried that something might had happened to Nila. They then noticed that Nila was missing and found her body behind the wedding hall. Siddarth and Sanjay brought their van and placed Nila in the van.  
Chandra and Jeeva decided to enter the wedding hall and they noticed the three talking among themselves about their success. Sanjay and Siddarth are now in the hosital waiting for the condition of Nila to be revealed. Meanwhile, Jeeva who had grown damn angry towards Sinthamani, Anjali and Lekha had come up with a plan to punish them for their act. Jeeva [acting as Gayathri ( who is known sent by Vasunthara but not in real )]called Lekha  and informed her that the body of the bride that they wanted to kill is not in the thrown place anymore. Lekha grows worried and rushes down. Jeeva appeaared unknowingly and hit Lekha on her head using a thick wooden stick. Lekha was then brought to a room and locked up in there.  As for Siddarth and Sanjay they was informed by the doctor that Nila is in the critical stage. Siddarth is now angry and tells to Sanjay that if anything bad happens to Nila, he will sure push the three of them to the prison. Meanwhile, in the hospital, Sanjay and Siddarth are worried about Nila's condition. They prayed for Nila's safety. As for the people in the wedding hall, they are given a shock that the bride is missing. Sinthamani takes this opportunity and asks Thiru to tie the "thaali" on Anjali's neck. Now, is it revealed that Nila is alive. Meanwhile, Sinthamani announce to the guests that the wedding will held between Thiru and Nila. Jeeva who is worried now asks Chandra to act as Nila as both their faces are the same. Chandra wasn't satisfied with the idea so she hardly accepted the plan. She disguised herself as Nila and entered the stage. Sinthamani and Anjali were shocked after seeing Chandra as Nila. Chandra then called Nila and asked her to try her best to stand up and walk in order to attend the marriage. Nila then listened to Chandra and obeyed to her words. Meanwhile, Chandra was waiting for Nila's presence and at the same time sitting beside the groom. Later Nila and Thiru get married to each other and cum to their house. Nila faces many problems in their house by her mother-in-law Chintamani and Anjali.
