She made issues for Divya and her parents by abusing her position as Divya's mother-in-law. Mayuri, Prashanthan's cousin, inquired about the family's situation. She planned to destabilize Prashanthan and Divya's marriage to marry Prashanthan. Meanwhile, Sethulakshmi found out that Divya's jewelry are all fake, so she brings Divya back to their house.
