Kiran (Akaash) and Aishwarya (Rekha Vedavyas) have been neighbours for 20 years in Hyderabad. They study in the same college and immensely hate each other. When their hatred continues, Rekha's parents shift to Ooty. There, Aishwarya finds an unopened greeting card in her room which is addressed to Deepika (Tanu Roy). Through her enquiry Rekha tries to know about deepika's whereabouts but her trials go in vain. Somehow she meets deepika's college mate who is her best friend those days! Aishwarya comes to know that Deepika is the girl who stayed in that room in the past and Deepika committed suicide because her lover Vamsi (Venkat) did not return from Hyderabad and she was being forced to marry someone she did not like.
Aishwarya opens the letter and realizes that Vamsi wrote it. In it, Vamsi explains his feelings for her. Aishwarya was touched with the way venkat explained his reason behind the silence. So, aishwarya does not want to disappoint Vamsi that Deepika is no more. She starts writing letters on behalf of Deepika. Interestingly, on the other side Kiran replies to all these mails on behalf of Vamsi, who died in an accident in Hyderabad.
