Ashok and Lakshmi turn inseparable. Lakshmi falls in love with Aakash (Jai Akash) but makes it clear that she would love or marry him only with the blessings and acceptance of her brother, which he approves of.

In a gap of seven years, Lakshmi has two daughters and a son. Nandini also becomes pregnant but suffers a miscarriage due to the intervention of one Kantham (Hema Choudhary), who stays with her claiming to be her aunt. As Nandini's uterus was removed, Ashok turns childless. To please him, Aakash and Lakshmi bring their children to cajole him. By the time Aakash returns to their house, his cousins cheat him and swindle the entire property. He gets jailed in a cheque bounce case. Lakshmi and her children then turn orphans. With the Kantham's advice, Nandini throws Lakshmi out of the house and warns her not to try to meet her brother. Lakshmi now has no way to save her husband and family.
