However, Mohan is already to married to his cousin Vani after taking a dowry of 1 lakh from his uncle for his higher studies. Vani who used to stay in her hometown now returns to the city to live with Mohan. Ooha is unaware that Mohan is already married.

One day, a group of miscreants harass Vani but Bosu comes to her rescue. Ooha also joins, and they shame the miscreants in public. Later, Bosu meets Ooha and tells her that he's on a search for a cheat named Mohan but Ooha doesn't realize that it's the same Mohan she loves. Meanwhile, Mohan attempts to kill Vani by leaking the house gas but fails.

Ooha invites Vani to her wedding with Mohan. After seeing the photos on the wedding card, Vani is shocked to learn the truth about her husband. Mohan returns home and tells that he intends to move to another city for a job and asks Vani to go to her hometown for a month. Vani who realizes his ploy refuses to leave and gets beaten up by Mohan. One day, Bosu is hit by the miscreants in retaliation right in front of Vani's house. Vani treats him and feeds him for the day.

Bosu leaves but sees Mohan in the traffic. Bosu runs behind Mohan's car to catch him. Mohan arrives at his home and realizes that Vani is pregnant. Mohan tells her that he intends to marry Ooha and he kills her in rage as Bosu screams at him from the window. Mohan then hits Bosu and the kid with his car in order to kill them but they manage to survive. Bosu regains his consciousness in the night and thinks that the kid is dead, thus deciding to kill Mohan himself. However, Mohan's wedding with Ooha takes place by the Bosu arrives, so he escapes from there. Mohan then leaves to dump Vani's body to clean up the evidence, at the same time, Bosu manages to meet Ooha and tell her the truth.

During their wedding night, Ooha acts like usual and pranks Mohan that she fed poisoned milk to him. When Mohan hugs her in relief, she stabs him for his sins. Mohan escapes from there and stumbles upon the kid who wakes up and cries. Ooha gets the kid to remove her mangala sutram and tells him that their marriage is void as it is removed by his own son.
