Plot
Jayanthi and her illegitimate daughter Amrutha were separated at Amrutha's birth, with Jayanthi misled into believing her daughter had died while in fact the girl was raised for a time by a butcher, Manikyam, who treated her unkindly. The two are destined to reunite. Rescued from the unkind butcher, Amrutha was raised in a better home with a foster brother, Sandeep. When Sandeep marries the legitimate daughter of Jayanthi, Siri (who hates Amrutha), Jayanthi realizes who Amrutha is. Jayanthi must come to terms with her feelings about the daughter she believed dead. Amrutha marries Rudra, a local goon. Later, Rudra is murdered by an enemy, Amrutha becomes a widow and finds her father and mother and she becomes pregnant.
She gives birth to a daughter, Anjali, whom she presumes dead in a fire accident. Amrutha goes insane while Anjali is raised by Kiran and Renuka (Jayanthi's legitimate son and daughter-in-law). After years, Siri has a daughter Jaanu and she is separated from Sandeep. The family does not know about Anjali being Amrutha's daughter. Amrutha becomes normal after meeting Anjali. Anjali does not accept Amrutha but eventually realizes her love for her. Renuka begins to hold a grudge against Amrutha. Amrutha moves on and remarries Arun, who is not ready to accept Anjali. He banishes Amrutha after learning that she could not conceive further. However, He brings her back after learning that he cannot father children.
Arun pretends to accept Anjali but does not love her, which hurts her. Rudra is revealed to be alive and returns after a Plastic Surgery as Shiva and joins as a driver at Arun's Office. Arun suspects that Shiva is Rudra. Amrutha gets pregnant and Arun suspects the baby to be Shiva's Baby. Arun accepts Amrutha when Jayanthi gets medical reports that Arun can become father.
