Plot
[edit]The story revolves around Ramaswamy and his younger sister, Veni. A group of friends surround them, including Sudhi, Sajan, and the siblings, Tito and Fifi. Fifi is in love with Sajan while Tito and Veni secretly love each other.
Ramaswamy is utterly dismayed when Veni elopes with Tito. He fails to accept the relationship as Tito is from another religion and considers it a deception. Tito's family accepts the couple and Tito leaves for the Middle East for work.
In the meantime, Sajan leaves Fifi for another girl. It turns out that Fifi is pregnant with his child. The family gets the pregnancy terminated secretly to avoid the shame it brings.
To the shock of everyone, Tito dies in the Middle East when Veni is pregnant. This leaves Veni mentally disturbed and Ramaswamy comes back to support his ailing sister. Veni's condition improves in the care of Fifi and Ramaswamy. Ramaswamy is moved by the compassion Fifi shows towards Veni. The story ends with Ramaswamy inviting Fifi to his life.
