So, she bows down before his integrity, crushes, and declares to knit him. As a glimpse, Ramu, a mechanic opposite Appa Rao's school, lures Anjali, and her bullies batter him.

He lays hold of them and extracts it's all Ramu's ruse, supported by Geeta as her lover, to seek vengeance against him & Anjali. Since she is pestering for espousal, he is attempting to slay her. Now, Appa Rao schemes a last shot by counterfeiting his death to Anjali at a hospital. Out of the blue, Mahalakshmi arrives and learns the actuality when Veera Raghava Reddy makes her comprehend Appa Rao's virtue. Tragically, all are aware that Anjali's cancer case is a fact. However, she forces doctors to lie about her father's happiness, who is on her deathbed this minute.
