Archana, and due to circumstances, both keep bumping into each other. Eventually, they fall in love, get married and have a son. Sometime later, while transferring a criminal to court their jeep gets blasted and everyone in the jeep dies along with Archana and their son. Vikranth is unable to forget Archana and his son despite support from his father and Archana's mother to forget her (as she has died) and move on with his life.
One day they arrange his marriage with a young lady, Jhansi, and hide about Vikranth's first marriage. They tell Vikranth that she has accepted marriage on her behalf even after learning about his past and getting married. After a while, Archana and their son come back into Vikranth's life. Vikranth learns that she did not die and terrorists had kidnapped her, their son, and their men before the jeep blasted. Meanwhile, Jhansi wants to shift to a new flat in the same locality where Archana also resides. Eventually, Archana and Jhansi become neighbors as Vikranth fails to convince Jhansi to not to move to the flat. Both women think that their husbands are look-alikes and that they are not married to one person. Vikranth does the double duty of managing both his wives so that they don't suspect him. Jhansi's cousin Kirloskar is a criminal who was once arrested by Archana and put behind bars. There he befriends another criminal, Murari who goes to jail due to Jhansi because of his multiple marriages and betrayal. These two keep interfering in Jhansi and Vikranth's life and try to expose the truth about Vikranth's first marriage. But they fail every time. After many failed attempts, at last, they expose Vikranth's betrayal to his respective wives. They get angry and think he has cheated on them and sends divorce papers. Vikranth says that he loved Archana wholeheartedly while he was devastated by the deaths of his wife and son. His father had advised him to move on because he was living a solo life and he did not want him to live like his father after his mother's death when he was a child. Therefore, to respect his father and mother-in-law's wishes, he remarries Jhansi but he didn't know that Jhansi was unaware of his marriage to Archana. He says that he wanted to tell the truth to Jhansi but her father stopped him because Jhansi did not want to get married as she was a tomboy. He tells him to reveal the truth gradually to ease the matter. Archana and Jhansi say that they know about Vikranth's true nature and they want to divorce him because they cannot accept each other. Finally, Vikranth admits he can accept only Archana as his wife, whereas Jhansi walks out with her father.
