Arjun opened his door to find a wedding card inside. A few hours prior, as Arjun was working at his desk, his friend Sauresh called and pleaded with him to come to the temple so that Sauresh could help with something. When Arjun first saw Keerthi at the temple, her mother had given her a wedding invitation.
Rewinding a few years to Vishakhapatnam, Arjun and Balraju got into a fight that ended with them both ending up in the principal’s office because of the destruction they caused. This is where Arjun and Keerthi first laid eyes on each other, sparking an immediate infatuation.
Balraju then advised Arjun to stop being so close to Keerthi, but Arjun was proactive and changed a classroom sign expressing his love for Keerthi because he thought it was part of Balraju’s plan. After Arjun set up a scheme in which she claimed to be his girlfriend, Keerthi blocked Balraju’s love. Arjun declared his love for Keerthi the same day.
Keerthi mysteriously stopped going to college and stopped taking calls the next day. Arjun’s mental health and attendance at college declined due to his confusion and despair. In an effort to comfort him, his father suggested that he take a vacation. Sauresh moved to Hyderabad in the meantime because his father was transferred.
After giving up on education four months later, Arjun committed himself to running his father’s auto repair business. That’s where he happened to come across Keerthi’s picture on a college flyer. He found her location in Hyderabad and discovered she was studying there with the help of Sauresh.
Overcoming his scholastic obstacles, Arjun continued his college career with the goal of getting back together with her. When Arjun traveled to Hyderabad to find Keerthi, he discovered something unexpected: Keerthi was already seeing Rahul. Keerthi narrated how some miscreants had stolen her Frooti drink, despite Rahul having offered it to her.
After she asked Arjun for money, he raised it by selling his necklace, but then he realized she was going to give it to Rahul. She gave the money back right away. After traveling to Hyderabad to find Keerthi, Arjun discovered a shocking fact: Keerthi was already seeing Rahul. Keerthi related how some thugs had stolen her Frooti drink, even though Rahul had offered it to her.
Arjun raised the money she requested for later by selling his necklace, but it was then revealed that she was going to give it to Rahul. In a short while, she gave the money back. Arjun fed Keerthi after they broke up with Rahul, providing comfort during her trying period. Nevertheless, he left, moved to tears, having seen Rahul at Keerthi’s home.
Due to his career hiatus, Arjun had years of job rejection after earning his B.Tech. After a period of time apart, Keerthi summoned Arjun for a meeting while they were out at the pub with friends. Keerthi revealed her recent split and her urge to drink throughout their meeting.
She drove while intoxicated and puked in front of a traffic police officer. She was transported to Arjun’s residence. Returning the gesture, Keerthi gave Arjun her late father’s ring as a token of her devotion. The news of Keerthi’s accident reached Arjun during a phone call during a job interview.
He found Keerthi at the hospital with minor injuries after leaving an early job interview.Rescheduling the interview was not approved when he tried to do so afterwards. Following her discovery of Keerthi’s romance, Keerthi’s mother made it clear that she would only get married to him if he was employed.
The decision to put her ahead of his work caused Arjun and Keerthi to argue. As Keerthi left, leaving Arjun crying, he overheard his chat with Sauresh in which he expressed guilt for getting back in touch with her.
Keerthi admitted in a candid diary entry that she was the one who fell in love with Arjun the moment she saw him give a schoolgirl a Frooti drink at a bus stop. She acknowledged that she had written the “I Love You Keerthi – Arjun” message on the whiteboard.
Keerthi’s first affection for Arjun was replaced in a flashback with a moving story about her family’s hardships, her father’s suicide, and her uncle’s forceful plans. She borrowed money from Arjun to help the security guard instead of using it for Rahul’s gift. Keerthi paid off her family’s debts and refused to follow her uncle’s wishes to wed Rahul.
