Dasari Sivaji, a stage artist, runs an organization called Sarada Sadan to help destitute children.
Sivaji comes to Gayatri's college graduation, where she says that she does not know what her father looks but knows he is a heartless brute as he sold her for 1,000 rupees in order to buy alcohol.
The doctor tells Sivaji that she is suffering from pelvic cancer and he needs a large amount of money to finance her treatment.
It is revealed that Gayatri was worried about the safety of the hospital children, and that was why she was rude to Shreshta earlier.
