Plot

Raju is a textiles manufacturer. His friend and subordinate, Srikanth, has requested him that he hire his friend Asha at their office. Asha is a chatterbox, and joins as secretary to Raju. Her repeated messing up at the workplace meant Raju is irritated with her.

One day, Asha overhears her mother's conversation with another woman where she reveals that Asha was married in her childhood. Asha is heart-broken and confides in her acquaintance, Annapoorna, who happens to be the mother of Raju. Annapoorna visits Asha's house to comfort her, only to find that Asha is Gagana, the kid who was married in her childhood to Raju. Annapoorna brings Asha to her house, but Raju, who does not remember the child-marriage and is leading a widower's life after death of his wife Devayani, does not accept Asha into his life.

Asha makes repeated attempts to woo Raju into accepting her as his wife, but fails. However, she thwarts multiple attempts by Subbalakshmi, Raju's aunt, who has visited them with her family, from wooing him into agreeing to marry her daughter, Meena. Asha finally wins over Raju after she succeeds in foiling an attempt on his life by the owner of a rival textile company, while putting her life at risk. Raju is apologetic of his behavior towards her and accepts her as his wife.
