Meanwhile, Sravani (Samantha Akkineni), Poorna's neighbor, falls in love with Poorna, which he is not aware of. When she learns of Poorna's love for Anshu, she begins to distance herself from him, but marries him after a few years after seeing his and his father's pain. Poorna marries Sravani due to pressure from his father, but maintains his distance and does not go to work, instead reliving his memories with Anshu and relying on Sravani's salary for money to buy alcohol. When Poorna goes to Dehradun to help select some cricket players for the youth team, he encounters Meera, Anshu's daughter. He learns of Anshu and her husband Kunal's passing in an accident, and agrees to take Meera back with him to Vizag for cricket training. While training Meera, Poorna and Sravani decide to adopt Meera so she can participate in the local Railway team and follow her passion for cricket. However, Meera says that she will only agree if Poorna and Sravani act like a husband and wife, and not strangers, which they agree to. During this time, Poorna realizes Sravani's pain and her love for him, deciding to leave behind his painful memories and start a new chapter. Yet Sravani is not convinced that Poorna has changed, and decides to get a job transfer to Bhubaneswar, leaving Poorna behind. When Poorna goes to drop Sravani off at the railway station, he tells that he has changed and has understood Sravani's love, and that he was actually going to tell her that he loves her, but she has decided to leave.
