When Devi comes to know that Rajesh really loves her with his heart and soul, she repents and reciprocates his love. The marriage is set to take place in a few days and preparations are on. Then Devi's brother Dr. Chakravarthy (Mohan Babu) comes to know that Rajesh is terminally ill and will die soon, so he attempts to put a stop to it. Devi finds out and tells Rajesh, and they then plan to get married in secret. However, Rajesh also discovers his illness when informed by Dr. Venkateswarulu (Gummadi). He is also aware that his close friend Prasad (Murali Mohan) also loves Devi, so he now decides to estrange her by pretending to be indifferent to her. Devi is devastated and tries to contact him and finds out that he was out with another woman named Jayanthi (Jayasudha) a prostitute. Devi is shocked by Rajesh's actions, but Rajesh calls off the engagement and wedding and tells her that this was revenge for her humiliation of him previously.
