Gauri, a self-esteem girl, resides at Shashi's outhouse and administrates their family tasks with her amiable and authoritative nature. Since childhood, Shashi and Gauri squabble but hold untold love. Meanwhile, Shashi moves abroad when Umakanth passes away, making a will that Shashi must knit Gauri. Knowing it, Shashi accuses Gauri when she renounces wealth and is about to quit. Here, Shashi bars and spices. Soon, they are blessed with a baby boy, Ravikanth. Afterwards, Gauri spots Shashi with his ex-girlfriend Krishna. Being unbeknownst that Shashi is treating her ailing daughter, she suspects which results in the kid’s death. Hence, a rift arises when pregnant Gauri moves out, but Shashi retains Ravi. Years roll by, and Ravikanth grows up under the pampering of his father, whereas Umakanth, the younger, turns into a worthy with Gauri's strive. Now, the siblings befriend and wedlock their beaus, Monica and Manisha, respectively. Here, destiny brings the couple near, but conceit makes them stand far. Later, they are humiliated by the children when they realize that their actual companion is their best half.
