Though she dedicated her 25 years of married life for the sake of her husband, children and in-laws, she lacks respect from some of them due to her incomplete degree and for being uneducated. Her husband Nandagopal "Nandu" begins to develop romantic feelings for his cunning colleague Lasya, who is insecure about Tulasi. Tulasi wins a funfair in her daughter Divya's school and secures a job in her school as a cooking teacher.

Tulasi is elated but her happiness is short-lived as she loses the job due to her unpunctuality caused by her family, who in turn blames her for her failure. Gayathri's mother ,Ankita becomes skeptical about Abhi(Tulasi's elder son) and Ankita's marriage because Tulasi is uneducated and her family is middle-class. However, Tulasi manages to arrange Abhi's marriage with Ankita and rebukes Lasya and warns her not to interfere in her family matters after Lasya advises Nandu to call off the marriage. Prem, Tulasi's younger son gets jailed after a misunderstanding with a courageous Shruti, who believed that Prem was even teasing her whilst he was instead going to convince her to be a singer in his band. Tulasi bails Prem and Shruti realizes her misunderstanding and eventually, joins his band and later Prem and Shruti develop romantic feelings for each other. Later, Tulasi's friend Anjali visits her after 30 years for Abhi's wedding. She suspects the relationship between Lasya and Nandu and conveys the same to Tulasi, who shrugs off her words, having complete trust in her husband.
