Saraswati “Saru” Parthasaarthy (Mawra Hocane) is an extremely traditional, young librarian, who gets rejected by many suitors who find her “old-fashioned” and “unappealing”. Her younger sister Kaveri’s fiance issues her an ultimatum to marry him within a month or else move on. But her strict father, Jayram Parthasarthy (Manish Choudhary) says that her wedding cannot happen till Saru gets married. Enraged, Kaveri insults her and threatens to elope. Saru begs her not to elope and hurt their father, and promises Kaveri that she will find a husband soon.:
