In reality, they walked into the trap of Rajesh who extorted them all to ruin Devendra Pratap’s family. Further, the woman who died at Jal Mahal is his real wife Namitha whom he slaughtered for the wealth. Then, he plotted to kill them too but fortunately, they escaped. Listening to it, Ravi moves for Rekha, when she is abducted by a person under the veil. So, Ravi rushes to his father for guidance. Besides, Rajesh is hauled by the man in the veil showing Rekha’s existence. Surprisingly, he turns as Shankar swindled Ravi by whisking with Rajesh. Afterward, being ruse by him he made this play. At last, Devendra Pratap gamely ceases their ploy. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Ravi & Rekha.
