Indu gets injured during the fight and regains her senses, where she suddenly remembers her past and stabs Simhadri with an iron pole.

After some harsh words and sadness over Varma's rejection of choice to marry her lover, Saraswati settle in Kerala with Aravind.

Simhadri joins the medical and spiritual therapy spa, operated by Saraswati and her family, under the disguise of a patient.

Simhadri tries to stop Aravind, who is rushing to catch a moving train and Indu is about to lend him a hand.

Upon remembering his foster father's advice that if many lives can be saved through sacrifice, there is no problem doing so, Simhadri chooses the first option and shoots Aravind.
