Plot[]

Season 1[]

Identical twin brothers Aravind and Mayan (played by Senthil Kumar) were separated soon after birth when Aravind was given to a childless couple and raised in the city while Mayan remained with his family in the village. Aravind discovers he was adopted and sets out to meet his real parents and twin brother for the first time since his adoption thirty years ago. On the other side, Sandhanapaandi has two wives. He has three children – Devi, Karthik and Vidhya from his first wife Valli and a daughter – Thamarai from his second wife Parvathy.

A marriage is fixed between Aravind and Devi but Aravind is kidnapped a few days before the wedding by parvathy's brother Machakaalai and Parvathy who want to take revenge on Sandhanapandi by taking his daughter from his first marriage's groom and having the groom marry his daughter from his second marriage. Problems arise when Mayan takes the identity of Aravind and marries Devi (Raksha Holla) while Aravind is forced to marry Thamarai (Rashmi Jayraj). Thamarai is not accepted by her mother-in-law, Gowri whereas Mayan is not accepted by Devi's family. But both of them manage to make their respective spouses reciprocate their feelings.
