But Kishore doesn't turn up and she feels cheated. Ganesh's selfish nature gets him to lie to Krishnaveni and he takes her home to Naidu in the hope of making some money.
But Ganesh realizes his mistake once he sees Naidu and his family and brings Krishnaveni back to Malaysia. As a cheated Krishnaveni begins rebuilding her life with Ganesh's support, love blossoms between the two. Into this situation enters Kishore, who is desperate to win back Krishnaveni's love. Meanwhile, Naidu is furious about the whole episode and engages the services of Malaysia Don Salim Bhai (Shawar Ali) to trap Ganesh.
