[4] Karthik, a doctor, begins to fall in love with his friend Deepa, admiring her kindness and generosity.

Mounitha causes Shravya to miscarry, and falsely convinces Karthik that Deepa is having an affair with her friend, the novelist Vihari.

She leaves again, and goes to run a successful tiffin centre, but again becomes ill; Karthik decides to retake the fertility test.

Karthik tells Deepa about her illness, and she fears for her children's future if she dies; Soundarya comforts her.

Mounitha then infiltrates the hospital disguised as a doctor, and threatens to kill Karthik's family unless he marries her.

Mounitha is freed from prison under excuses of maternity problems and starts to torment Karthik's family once again.

Horrified, Karthik donates all of his properties to the victim's wife and daughters, and decides to leave to a village with his family.

Without informing their extended family, Deepa and Karthik leave the city with their children to the remote village of Thatikonda.

The village is ruled by merciless money lender Rudrani, who torments the family of Kotesh and Srivalli.

After Rudrani has Kotesh and Srivalli killed, Deepa and Karthik adopt Anand, unaware that he is Mounitha's son.

Karthik accepts, unaware of her conspiracy, while Soundarya and Deepa learn that Kotesh and Srivalli had adopted Mounitha's son.

While Souurya remains unconscious, Karthik's estranged elder sister Swapna reconciles with her family except for Soundarya after mourning his and Deepa's deaths.

Meanwhile, Hima recovers in the hospital, and returns to see her family but upon hearing Souurya blaming her for Karthik and Deepa's deaths and expressing her hatred towards her, she leaves home without telling anyone of her existence.

While Soundarya is travelling with Prem and Nirupam (Swapna and Satyam's twins), the former spots Hima and she is brought home.

Next morning, Soundarya finds Souurya to be missing, as she has left the home out of disgust towards Hima, who is heartbroken.

Hima is now a generous, soft-hearted and innocent doctor, while Souurya is a benevolent, daring and outspoken auto-rickshaw driver going by the name of "Jwala", who has been raised by former small-time thieves Indrudu and Chandramma.

Anand is Souurya's friend and as he is unaware of his actual name, he goes by Rava Idli while running a tiffin centre that finances his medical studies.

Nirupam, Souurya, Hima and Prem plot and compel Swapna into having a twenty-fifth anniversary party arranged for her and Satyam.

In the party, Shoba and Swapna accuse Indrudu and Chandramma of theft but Hima proves their innocence.

Souurya believes that Hima is taking Nirupam away from her and marrying him by gaining sympathy from claiming that she has cancer.

She also learns that Soundarya, Anand Rao, Hima and Souurya had sold the house in Hyderabad and left for America.

Meanwhile, Soundarya, Anand Rao and Hima learn about Souurya's whereabouts and plead with her to return home.

He finds Deepa and learns who she really is, and starts planning a scheme to make Karthik doubt Mounitha's character.

Soundarya manages to get Mounitha arrested for her past deeds with the help of Roshini, fearing that she might be planning further to hurt Karthik and Deepa.

Rather than naturally becoming sicker, Charuseela had tricked Pandari into giving dangerous pills to Deepa to poison her.

On 18 February 2024, Star Maa released the promo of the second season titled as "Karthika Deepam - Idi Nava Vasantham".

[19][20] (in millions) According to The Hindu, "The serial follows a faithful template set by Ekta Kapoor, that trendsetter who gave (mostly) housewives soapy and weepy sagas which belied both sense and sensibility at every tantalizing turn.
