She is actually Jayan's first wife Aswathy, who was kidnapped by Jayan's father Nadesan after realizing that she was pregnant with Jayan's child. Nadesan hated her because she was from a poor family. When Jayan went to Singapore for higher studies, Nadesan killed Aswathy's father in front of her own eyes and then kidnapped and tortured her. When she gave birth to a baby girl, Nadesan took the baby away from her and told her that he had killed it. Believing that Jayan betrayed her, Aswathy has returned as Meghna to take revenge, with the help of her guardian Swamiji.

The story moves forward as Meghna proceeds with her revenge and, one by one, the members of Palakkal family realize the truth.
