Anu despises her sister for grabbing the spotlight despite her desperate efforts to be the person, people notice and praise. Because of the conflict, their mother Deivanai enrols them into a convent school, but at last Anu only studied in convent, Abi became less educated. Finally Anuradha became a lawyer and Abi becomes a tailor. Meanwhile, the brothers Santhosh and Sanjeev belong to a rich and wealthy family. Santhosh was an simple man, who manages the business but Sanjeev was short-tempered and easily angered, so his mother Seetha will take care him always.

While she move out, she found that Sanjeev was the younger brother of Santhosh. Anu shocked about it and thought if Abi marries Sanjeev, then she will lead a rich life. So she decides to fix a fiancée for Abi. Anu met a poor and thief name Salman and she request to marry Abi. Salman and his mother Nagalakshmi were exited and accepted to marry Abi. Sanjeev, on hearing Abi will marry Salman, he beats Salman and he found that Salman is a fraud and stops Abi from marrying him. Then the police come and arrests Salman. Now Seetha's husband Ramachandran's sister Chinthamani called her daughter Sreeja to come and to fix her as Sanjeev's fiancée. When Anu came to Santhos's house, she met Sreeja and Chinthamani and they discussed about Abi was in love with Sanjeev. So they planned to separate them. But Abi and Sanjeev resist the scheme.
