So Eeswar manipulates Priya's family as Prem Krishna, who is a foreign return. He manipulates Priya and makes her fall for him. Priya reveals that Malavika is her mother's dearest friend, so she has to accept Prem as her fiancé. Meanwhile, Priya discusses her love for Malavika and takes Prem to Malavika's house. Malavika meets Prem, talks with him, and likes him. Malavika invites Prem for lunch. Prem tries to kill them but narrowly evades capture. Meanwhile, Bhupati Raja's son Banerjee meets Eeswar and hands him a flower bouquet that has a bomb fixed to it, and instructs him that it should be exploded by 6:30 p.m. Eeswar goes to Sneha and hands the bouquet to her. Meanwhile, Malavika reveals that she will donate all her assets to the orphanage as BhupatiRaja (Malavika's cousin) is trying to kill them. She also reveals that her husband was appointed as chairman to stop the religious conflicts caused because of Bhupati Raja, who wants to become a leader by bringing down the Government.
