Unknown to him and his daughter, the food is mixed with poison. His friend brings a local gang and makes the murder look like a suicide, and the spirit narrates to Thulasi in the midst.

He goes to kill thulasi and her child but instead slips from the cliff. The spirit apologizes as this was her wish and thus leaves Thulasi's body. Thulasi wants to see her daughter live, so she calls Murali and requests him to take her daughter along with him to India and leave her daughter in her hometown.
