Nakshatra is a dusky brown colour girl who works hard to meet the daily expenditures of the family. She has been not accepted as the daughter and granddaughter by her father Thukarama and his mother as she is not fair. He feels that Nakshatra is not his daughter as he and his wife Jaya are fair complexioned and she is in dark complexion. Bhupathi the owner of MPR Foods and S/O Shakuntala Devi is staying as a PG guest in Nkashatra's house for rent disclosing his real identity. Nakshatra who dreams of becoming TV anchor is pushed back as her skin tone will not match the requirements of an anchor. Finally she does manage to land a job as RJ where she is only the voice, while Shwetha, is the face of the show. Trouble begins when Bhupathi falls in love with her voice, while believing that it's Shwetha's.The way how Nakshatra and Shwetha meet their real parents and how Bhupathi falls in love with Nkshatra form the rest of the story.[3]
