After 7 years, the couple is blessed with two children but so far Radha's sumptuous mindset doesn't change. Meanwhile. Madhu's Boss's daughter Latha returns from abroad. Once Madhu rescues her from the danger and she falls for him. Despite learning Madhu is a spousal, she is adamant about marrying him. So, Latha acquainted with Radha offers 1 crore in the swap of Madhu. Then, covetous Radha accepts it and compels Madhu. Wherefore, he nuptials Latha divorcing Radha and all of them set under one roof.

Now Radha molds herself as a socialite and neglects the family. However, Madhu is inflexible following his bourgeoisie lifestyle and Latha moves in his footsteps. Initially, Madhu detests and backs off her. But Latha brings forth her space in the hearts of Madhu & children by showering love and affection. After some time, Radha realizes how far she is drifted and tries to amend but fails. Currently, she feels Latha is purloining her family. Herewith, Radha offers all her wealth back to retrieve Madhu when wrangles arise. So, she also proceeds for legal advice which also proclaims Madhu as Latha's husband. Then, Radha tries to neck out Latha when Madhu too accompanies her along with the children. The next, distraught Radha donates her property to the orphanage and proceeds for forgiveness from Madhu & Latha. By the time, she learns all of them are leaving for abroad. Immediately, she rushes to the airport and embraces Madhu & children. At last, surprisingly, Latha affirms that she is exiting Madhu's life, but not alone, carrying his child. Finally, the movie ends with Latha proceeding abroad and everyone gives her a warm sendoff.
