Sharada (Aarathi) who is affianced to a guy studying abroad, is extremely close with her future in-laws. However, when her fiancé returns, she finds out that he has married Elisa, a "white woman", and is no longer interested in her. Sharada assumes a larger-than-life good-Samaritan character, presumably the antithesis of a jilted lover, she becomes best friends with the 'white woman'.
