Anu prepares a speech for Surya for her college cultural function, unknown that Surya himself was sitting next to her.

As Anu searches for a job, Surya tells Anu to join as an employee in his company. But Surya's PA, Meera hates Anu because of Surya and Anu's relationship. So she decides to take Anu off the job.

Eventually, Anu and Surya fall in love with each other but haven't confessed to each other. Anu's friend Ramya, encourages her to confess her feelings. Meanwhile, Surya's secretary and best friend Pankaj, tells Surya to forget about Anu as her life would spoil due to their massive age difference. So Surya decides to maintain distance with Anu and acts strict with her. Anu didn't expect this kind of attitude from Surya.

Later, Anu's parents decide to fix a marriage for her, so they fixed their neighbour Raghupathy's son Sampath as Anu's fiancée. But Anu accepts this marriage reluctantly with no interest. Later Surya knows about this and he decides to take care of Anu's marriage and he stays in Anu's house till evening, so Surya tells to Pankaj to cancel the meeting. Then, as the wedding preparations continue, Surya learns the truth of Raghupathy's family, that if Anu becomes their daughter-in-law then they will gain Surya's support and also Anu's father textile shop will be come to their hands. In past Anu's father Subbu was in debt, so he mortgaged the textile shop to another person, who was Raghupathy's partner. Now Surya tells everything to Anu's mother Pushpa and she stops the marriage. Finally Anu becomes happy and her parents thank Surya.

Again Anu joins the office. Meera teases Anu for her marriage issue and she plans for Anu to be scolded by the businessmen. So Meera tells Anu to take the initiative in the meeting. As Anu has no experience and is nervous. Meera told Anu to collect the information of Deva Nandini Sarees, so Anu asks Surya who Deva Nandini is, but he refuses to answer. As days pass, Surya deliberately transfers Anu to Bangalore, so has Surya said, Anu also accepts knowingly. Then, Surya changes his mind and goes to stop Anu, while traveling by bus to Bangalore.
