Plot
Kokila and Hema are best friends who are thick as thieves. Unfortunately they break up due to their love over Nila. While Kokila hails from a rich family, Hema is lower in status. Kokila and Hema's brother Santhosh are in love. Kokila gets pregnant with his child and they try to elope but Santhosh is killed by Kokila's relatives. After his funeral, Hema breaks her friendship with Kokila as she caused her brother's death. Years roll by and Hema is married to Shekar, and they have two children, Nila and Nithin. Kokila is married to Ramkumar who is sweet but his mother is one evil lady. As the two families live in Chennai, Kokila and Hema eventually meet but Hema is stil angry. Nila eventually suspects that she is not the daughter to Shekar and Hema and try to find her real parents with her brother Nithin and the son of the house owner Illango's help. Kokila finds out Nila is her daughter with Santhosh, who was told that the child died during childbirth and a clash occurs between Hema and Koila. Ramkumar and Shekar try to meet up to solve the issue with Ramkumar wanting Nila for Kokila's sake and Shekar not wanting to give Nila as he loves her dearly as a daughter even though really she is his niece.
Though this is the main line of story, a number of minor characters and stories associated with Nila are intermingled in the series. Nila stays with Kokila and Ramkumar and loves them like her parents and the couple reciprocates it. Suspicion creeps in the mind of Nila when she overhears the conversation between Sharadha and Ramkumar. Nila mistakenly accuses Ramkumar guilty of an affair with Sharada and being the father of Hari, who is actually her nephew.
