Her mother, Kalyani was disowned by her parents after she chooses to marry an American, Chris against their wishes.

But here there is a twist in the story again as their marriage stops in between due to a photo which shows Sam's father killing their grandfather, Vajrapati Ranga Rao, which is not true.

The actual flashback is that, in the past i.e. 20 years back, when Kalyani's marriage was fixed with Chakradhar, who came to Ranga Rao with an intention to become the only heir of Ranga Rao's property by marrying Kalyani.

After their engagement, Kalyani reveals to her parents that she does not like this marriage and she loves a man named Chris Williams.

But after some days, she and Chris feel guilty and return to take the blessings of Ranga Rao.

But when Chakradhar comes in between, slaps Kalyani in front of her father, Ranga Rao understands the reality and supports the Kalyani-Chris marriage.

In this process, it is revealed that Surya has a twin, Aditya, Raji's first son, who was separated from his family immediately after his birth.
