Gowri grows up to be a strong and independent woman who is an excellent dancer. She is loved and admired by all her classmates, especially by Rama (played by Murali), who has a keen interest in her. But Gowri's happiness is short-lived as Raja re-enters their life, seeking forgiveness and asking for his daughter's custody.
