Her respect for her divorced professor is misunderstood by some, resulting in her father wanting to discontinue her studies. But she is rescued by marrying Murali, who happens to be her father's friend ARK's son. ARK and Murali are forward in their outlook and Gowri has a wonderful marriage. But when her husband is accidentally drowned, her parents insist on her leading the austere and repressed life of a widow. However, ARK intervenes and manages to get his daughter-in-law remarried.
