Next, he learns about Aruna's love affair with a guy, Ravindra, but his greedy mother seeks a 1 lakh dowry. Hence, Gopi sells his business and liens his self-respect by accepting a job proposal from shop owner Tatabbai. Just before the wedding, unfortunately, Raghu steals the ornaments. In that quarrel, Gopi accidentally kills Raghu. Right now, Gopi and Anjali encounter many difficulties in completing marriage by hiding the truth.
