Thus, Archana become the favourite for her parents among the sisters. For his marriage proposal, he is compelled to tell a lie that he is a mechanical engineer, since Archana's mother, Sivagami, was determined to marry her daughter to an educated man. After the marriage, the truth comes to light, and Archana begins to hate Selvam for concealing the fact that he isn't educated and is a mechanic. She initially refuses to live with him but eventually understands Selvam's love for her and goodness in his character and decides to reconcile her relationship with him. Over time, Selvam is cheated by his stepmother Bagyam to whom he loses his house and the mechanic shed he owned. With no place to go, the couple are forced to sleep in the platform and are rescued by Selvam's friend Siva. Nandhinee one of Selvam's other friends helps him and Archana in their misery and helps to enhance their living standards.
