Roja understands her situation and helps Nanchari without her knowledge. But when Nanchari finds the truth she gets furious that Roja tries to snatch away her husband from her and warns her that if she ever turns her face towards her husband she would go so vigorous. But later Nanchari finds that Roja was his student and feels bad for her acts. Roja and Nanchari become good friends.
