On the other side, Venkayya Naidu (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) belongs to Lingapuram, and stays along with two elder brothers Subbayya Naidu (Kandikonda) & Ramayya Naidu (Gowrinatha Sastry), mother Venkamma (Seshamamba) and sister Pichamma (G. Varalakshmi) who left her husband. Once Venkayya visits Durgi where he sees Lakshmamma and falls in love with her. Here Musalappa keeps a condition that the bridegroom must stay along with them. Even though his mother & sister objects to it with his brothers' support Venkayya marries Lakshmamma. Time passes, and Lakshmamma gives birth to a baby girl she is named Parvathi (Baby Narayani). Meanwhile, Venkayya gets attracted to a temple dancer Rangasani (Suryaprabha). One night when he is trying to steal Lakshmamma's necklace for Rangasani, she obstructs him, he beats her very badly and leaves her in his house. Kotayya goes to bring back him but in turn, he is insulted. Now Lakshmamma goes to her in-law's house where she is deserted by her womanizing husband and is subjected to many hardships by her mother-in-law & sister-in-law.

At that time, Venkamma wants to make Parvathi's marriage with Pichamma's mad son to which Lakshmamma does not agree. Parallelly, Venkayya sees Rangasani with some other person. In that anger, he returns home when Venkamma and Pichamma make bad propaganda about Lakshmamma and makes him suspect her chastity.
