Her family decides to get Savitri married to Rishi (Nara Rohit), although both of them are not aware of this decision. While on her way to Shiridi, Savitri meets Rishi, who instantly falls in love with her even though she is not interested. Due to some circumstances, both of them miss the train. During their journey to catch the train, Rishi tells his family that he is not interested in marrying the girl they chose as he is in love with someone now. Later Rishi finds out that Savitri was the one he was going to marry. He explains the mistake he made to Savitri's father who does not agree to the union.
