Storyline

The story continues from the end of Vaani Rani. The plot is centered on Vaani and Rani's best friend Ponni's life. Ponni is a young woman married to Rajaram. They both were blessed with four children, Surya, Chandru, Aishwarya and Priya. Rajaram has an elder sister Visalam whose husband is Vinayagam. Pounu who was Ponni's close friend and her family (husband Naagapan and son Senthil) also stayed in Ponni's house until they shifted to their village.

Theme 1 (episode 1 to 174): In the past, a long time before Ponni and Rajaram's marriage, Rajaram was engaged with a woman named Pushpavalli. Visalam and Vinayagam were arranging the marriage ceremony. However, on the marriage day, Pushpavalli deserted Rajaram and ran away from Chennai with her lover Anand to Mumbai. Rajaram went to extent of committing suicide, but he was stopped by Vinayagam. After a long time, he was finally married to Ponni. Thereafter, his life became prosperous, and he was leading a company named Ponni Mills. 25years after his marriage with Ponni, Pushpavalli shifts back to Chennai and gets to know about Rajaram's prosperity. She feels jealous. The storyline is based on how Pushpavalli tries to enter into Rajaram's life and breaks his family apart without Ponni getting to know about their past.

Theme 2 (episode 1 to 174): Ponni's son Surya was dating a girl, Pavithra. However, he was not willing to tell the same to his parents. But, when Rajaram's rich friend Manickam came asking Surya's hand for his daughter Swetha, Surya's greed for money made him betray Pavithra and run after Swetha. Their marriage was arranged with several problems. On their marriage day, Surya changed his mind and wished to marry Pavithra. In the wish of having Swetha as his daughter in law, Rajaram decided to get his other son Chandru married to Swetha. This storyline is focused on how the secret of Surya-Pavithra's relationship gets out followed after how Chandru-Swetha manage to live with each other against their will.

Theme 3 (episode 175 to 229): After a long time, Pushpavalli, her husband (Anand) and daughter (Bhuvana) were killed in a car accident. Her other daughter Pooja was under the impression that Rajaram was the cause of the accident and vowed to go against Rajaram's family. Ponni, by her kind nature, allows Pooja to stay in her house, unaware of her wrong intentions. The storyline is based on how everyone gets to know Pooja's intentions and also that she is Pushpavalli's daughter.

Theme 4 (episode 213 to 436): A nemesis, Maya entered into Ponni's life. She was also running a Mill Company (Rajaram's rival company). She joined hands with Pooja and tried to bring down Ponni and Rajaram's company. After she lost the office-faceoff, it was revealed that Maya was Ponni's long-lost stepsister. In the past, Ponni's father Velusamy married another lady Devanae who gave birth to Malar. Malar was later renamed to Maya. This storyline was mainly centered on the clash between the two sisters where Ponni was not aware of her sisterly relationship with Maya. After getting to know the truth, the storyline also covers the consequences of this bond between the two rivals.

Theme 5 (episode 250 to 442): Surya's tea shop had an employee Chinnathambi who was in love with Ponni's daughter Aishwarya. She also began to share feelings for him. However, Rajaram detested Chinnathambi. Coincidentally, Chinnathambi's marriage was fixed with his cousin Malli by Malli's father Muthupandi against Chinnathambi's will. Later, Aishwarya and Chinnathambi with the help of Maya ran to a hill station and married secretly. After their marriage, to wreak havoc in Ponni's family, Maya engaged Malli to rebel against Chinnathambi leading to Chinnathambi and Aishwarya getting separated for a while due to a misunderstanding. The storyline also covers how they meet paths again.

Theme 6 (episode 273 to 478): Swetha could not give birth to a baby, hence Bharathi was appointed as the surrogate mother. However, Bharathi started to have feelings for Chandru, leading to Swetha detesting her. Thereafter, Swetha became pregnant, but Bharathi continued to be in touch with Chandru and later on married him secretly as well. Chandru was also showing a lot of care and love for Bharathi which made Swetha get a doubt whether Chandru loves Bharathi. This storyline is focused on the truth of Chandru's feelings and marriage secret to come out, facing the consequences.

Theme 7 (episode 401 to 436): One day, Maya met Rajaram's look-alike who went by the name Kaali. Looking at him, Maya hatched a plan to kidnap Rajaram and send Kaali in Rajaram's disguise so that he could wreak havoc in Ponni's house.

Theme 8 (episode 436 to 483): Maya turns over a new leaf and removes her hatred for Ponni's family. However, Kaali was greedy for money, hence, with the help of his girlfriend Ramaa, he made Maya and Rajaram unconscious and disguised himself as Rajaram to loot away all their money at once. To wreck more havoc, Kaali brings Chinnathambi's ex-fiancé Malli into the house to live with him, followed by him creating more problems leading to Chinnathambi forced to live with Malli again due to a misunderstanding created by Kaali.
