After Keerthi's supposed death Poovarasi and Kathir begin to fall in love and Poovarasi becomes pregnant, but Kathir suspects Poovarasi and claims he is not the father of the baby. Poovarasi humiliates him by removing her nuptial chain and throwing it in Kathir's face. He starts to hate Poovarasi and her family. He and his mom make plans to destroy Poovarasi's family, but one day Rathinvalli (Poovarasi's mother) overhears this, so Kathir and his mother killed Rathinavalli (Aamani) along with Maheswari (Devipriya).

Meanwhile it is revealed that Kathir (Mohammad Azeem) wasn’t the one who killed Rathinavali. It was revealed that his mother and Maheswari were the ones who killed her.

But, one day, the nurse who changed the DNA report bribed by Maheswari informed Kathir about the DNA report that the unborn child in Poovarasi’s tummy is Kathir’s, where he feels guilty for thinking wrong of her and is also informed that Maheswari was responsible for the DNA test report change.

Then, Kathir furiously comes to attack Maheswari in the night at a deserted place who reveals to her that she was the one responsible of changing the report. After Maheswari is attacked by Kathir, she reveals that his mother was the one who instructed Maheswari to change the report. Kathir then tells Maheshwari that he is going to reveal the truth of her evil doings like changing the DNA report so he can hate his wife and baby to the entire family. Maheshwari then viciously attacks Kathir and his mom and buries their unconscious bodies. They are then rescued by Karthik, another man who is in a one-side love relationship with Poovarasi, unaware she is married. Kathir knows that he cannot re-enter the family normally because Poovarasi won't accept him, so he decides to come in the guise of an old man to be Poovarasi's bodyguard to protect her from Maheshwari. The entire family immediately begins to like the old man, but one day his disguise is revealed but despite saving her life many times, Poovarasi still rejects him and demands him to leave the house. Whether Kathir will reunite with Poovarasi and his baby and if she accepts him or not forms the crux of the story.
