Vikram, despite knowing this, refuses to break their marriage and gave promise that he never love any women. After the marriage, Arjun learns of their story and leaves the house, without telling the truth to anyone.
Due to circumstances, Saranya loses her father in a botched police operation to catch a thug, who wanted to forcefully wed Saranya.
