Once, she states all the men are perverts when her mates wager that just one, i.e., Appa Rao. Hence, Anjali challenges them to refute it and asks her father to admit her. Parallelly, Khan warns Appa Rao to shut down his school when Veera Raghava Rao guards him. Anjali advances to Appa Rao and tries diverse means to entice him, but he does not yield. So, she bows down before his integrity, crushes, and declares to knit him. As a glimpse, Ramu, a mechanic opposite Appa Rao's school, lures Anjali, and her bullies batter him.

From there, he receives a minatory phone call and Appa Rao suspecting several like Khan, his Advocate, etc. As a flabbergast, Appa Rao views Geeta alive, and Ramu chases her. He lays hold of them and extracts it's all Ramu's ruse, supported by Geeta as her lover, to seek vengeance against him & Anjali. Since she is pestering for espousal, he is attempting to slay her. Now, Appa Rao schemes a last shot by counterfeiting his death to Anjali at a hospital. Out of the blue, Mahalakshmi arrives and learns the actuality when Veera Raghava Reddy makes her comprehend Appa Rao's virtue. Tragically, all are aware that Anjali's cancer case is a fact. However, she forces doctors to lie about her father's happiness, who is on her deathbed this minute.
