Plot

The narrative unfolds as Illakkiya finds herself unexpectedly wedded to Gowtham due to circumstances beyond her control. Initially, both Illakkiya and Gowtham grapple with this situation, particularly given the misunderstanding that precipitated their marriage.

However, despite the rocky outset, Gowtham begins to admire Illakkiya's inherent kindness and selflessness. He comes to value her genuine nature and unwavering commitment to her family, despite the trials she endures.

Simultaneously, Illakkiya's presence in Gowtham's life catalyzes positive changes. She inspires him to reconnect with his roots and embrace his obligations not only as a businessman but also as a member of his family and society.
