Saraswathi works as a nurse under doctor Jaggaiah, who is also a widower with a daughter named Prasunna. Swati gets closer to Chakro, who is an unemployed graduate, and upon Chakro's suggestion, Swati gets her mother married to doctor Jaggaiah, but observes a change in her mother's behaviour, who feels embarrassed to introduce Swathi as her daughter. So she leaves that house. Meanwhile, she meets her biological father who is actually a very nice person, but was a victim of ill fate.
