He's in for a major shock when Sumathi, his imagined wife, shows up at the house. Sumathi insists that she is Sekhar's wife and he can't kick her out without Subbamma learning of his duplicity. Subbamma is also close to his boss so if she learns the truth, he would be out of a home and lose his job. Sumathi for her part insists that she is, in fact, his wife.

However, Sumathi has many secrets and several enemies that threaten the couple's happiness. Sekhar and Sumathi must confront these blockades to earn their happily ever after.
