However, Lakshman didn't like this idea of marriage as he is in love with collegemate Shailu. Later he conveys this to his sister-in-law Seetha. Seetha gets offended when she tries to talk about this to Siri's mother Parvathi. On the day of wedding Shailu ran off from her house and creates a scene in the marriage hall.
