Meanwhile both the heroes Vijay and Surya find their own girlfriends and fall in love... Vijay is paired with Kausalya while Surya is paired with Simran.

Back to Raghu... One day he finds a bundle of cash on his table and meets the person (Karan) who kept the money there. Raghu finds out that Karan is an MLA, wanted by the police. Karan wants to leave the country to escape from the police and he needs a fake passport, since his passport is confiscated by the police; He tells Raghu to get one for him; but Raghu disagrees and calls the police instead; The MLA gets angry and promises to avenge Raghu. Meanwhile, Raghu and Shanthi apply for a divorce. Child custody of their daughter Sona (Baby Jennifer), who was in her periamma's (Shanthi's sister's) house when the break up occurred, is given to the mother by the court.

One day Surya takes Sona to a fair and somehow loses her. In the confusion that follows, Sona falls from a ferri-wheel and is taken to the hospital by Vijay. She is brought to Raghu's house, once she recovers. Soon Vijay discovers that Sona has lost her hearing in the accident...

Some days later Surya finds that Sona is missing... Raghu tells everyone that Sona is in his sister's house.

At that time, Raghu suffers a serious asthma attack, while in the bathroom, and everyone saves him. After recovering Raghu tells that Sona is not in his sister's house, but has been kidnapped by Karan who is out on bail.
