Madanagopal is shocked on seeing the photograph of his would-be wife as she is chubby, fat, unappealing, and not even nearer to his expectations of his dream girl according to him.

Bhagyalakshmi, though hurt deep in her heart by his body shaming, keeps quiet as an ideal wife.

Gopal feels that he made a sacrifice of his life by marrying a woman like Bhagyalakshmi, and so he does not respect his in-laws' family.

Her father procures Gopal a coveted job in Mysore Bank using his influence and buys him a costly scooter.

Chakravarthi, Bhagyalakshmi's brother, visits his sister's home and finds out about Gopal and his cheap mentality.

Gopal's mother gets angry that her daughter has conceived, but Bhagyalakshmi shows no sign of pregnancy, and she taunts her a lot.

Gopal is given a task of collecting the loan amount from a woman named Maragathambal and he goes in search of her.

Bhagyalakshmi becomes pregnant, and Gopal turns his attention towards her to take good care of her, because of which he reduces the frequency of his visits to Banu.
