Thus, Archana become the favourite for her parents among the sisters. For his marriage proposal, he is compelled to tell a lie that he is a mechanical engineer, since Archana's mother, Sivagami was determined to marry off her daughter to a rich man. After the marriage, the truth comes to light and Archana begins to hate Selvam for concealing the fact that he isn't educated and is a mechanic. She initially refuses to live with him, but eventually understands Selvam's love for her and goodness in his character and decides to reconcile her relationship with him. Over time, Selvam is cheated by his stepmother Bagyam(Gauthami) to whom he loses his house and the mechanic shed which he owned. With no place to go, the couple is forced to sleep in the platform from where they are rescued by Selvam's friend Siva. Selvam began to take up a car business, and it was very lucrative. Day by day, he got richer and the couple moved to a new bungalow. Archana gets pregnant after 4 years of marriage.

Subsequently, the story moved around how the couple faces the challenges of living happily and how they stayed together through thick and thin. Nandhinee(Rhindhya) one of Selvam's friends helps him and Archana in their misery and helps to enhance their living standards. Selvam, with his hard work and moral support of Archana and Nandhinee's guidance, grows to the status of Car Dealers Association Chairman. But eventually, Nandhinee decides to separate Selvam and Archana to seek revenge on Archana's mother Sivagami(Vadivukkarasi) for doubting her relationship with Selvam and insulting her in front of her neighbours. She succeeds in separating Selvam from Archana by making Selvam go against Archana losing all his good morals which he cherished from his childhood and his love for Archana. Due to Possesiveness of his Properties and Money Selvam Accused Archana and Chased her out of house. Archana challenges Selvam that one day, Nandhini will neglect him, and she will not forgive him then. Thereafter, Selvam began to practise alcoholism and he became too possessive with money. At one point of time, Selvam comes to know the true colours of Nandhinee and her intention behind separating Archana from him for which he quarrels with Nandhinee.
