Synopsis
editAbhirami, nicknamed Abhi, is an eight-year-old girl raised by Saravanan, who works as a driver for a wealthy family. Abhi develops a strong connection with Meena, Saravanan's employer, and it is later revealed that Abhi is Meena and Shiva's lost child. Saravanan adopted Abhi at a young age based on an astrological prediction that Rajeshwari's son and his wife would not survive if they keep the child before she turns nine years old. Abhi also faces conflicts with Mukhil, Meena and Shiva's indulged son who is envious of the attention Abhi receives from his mother. In addition to this, Girija, Shiva's younger sister, is stingy and covetous and dislikes Abhi and Meena, as well as Rajeshwari, the family matriarch.
