They lead a happy family life with their daughter Sneha played by Ahana Jagri, who is the cynosure of all eyes and attracts attention wherever she goes and inspires the creation of the cartoon character Thumpi.
The story begins to get hotter when an Advertisement film maker happens to notice Sneha accidentally and invites her to cast in his new advertisement film which is to be shot in Chennai. Sneha seems enjoying and easy going like a professional actress in the entire sets. After some days, the shoot is packed up for a shift to Pollachi. The entire shooting crew can't believe their ears and eyes!!! An 7-year-old child is virtually vanished into thin air on the highways from a speeding bus, amidst a shooting crew and her father!!! Sachidandandan, shocked at knowing the missing his daughter, becomes frantic. He could not even imagine what will happen if his wife happens to know the news.

The film goes on to tell what happened to Sneha and who actually Sneha is. It was later revealed that Ali was the father of Sneha.
