suicide attempt. Gopal gets a sudden idea and he decides to take her belongings and make some money of them, but instead finds her diary. He realises that
Sangeetha has come across 3 men who had significant influence in her life. The first man was her former boss who had proposed indecently to sleep with her. The second man wanted her to pretend that they are married to fool his parents in return for money for Sangeetha's sister's marriage. The last man is a friend of the 2nd man, and thought that he had slept with her in a drunken state. The truth is that none of the men had any physical contact with her. Gopal devises a plan to extract money from these men and their families. He writes letters to them stating that Sangeetha has given birth to their son and named him Krishna/Ramakrishna/Rajasekar. After a series of funny events, (such as the three booking almost neighbouring rooms on the same floor of the same hotel) all the three come to meet Gopal on the same day, and the film ends when Gopal realizes his mistake.
