During this time, he meets Padma, a talented dancer whose artistry, expressions, and charm captivate him, inspiring his creative pursuits. Ravindra Babu becomes enamored with Padma's artistic abilities, which causes distress to Parvathi upon discovering her husband's association with Padma, a woman of questionable background.

Parvathi’s brother, Jagannatham, who holds his sister's well-being in high regard, confronts Padma and demands she stay away from the family. Ravindra Babu, deeply affected by the situation, becomes increasingly despondent. Consumed by his thoughts of Padma, he begins to wander aimlessly.
