Time being, they are nuptial and blessed with kids when disputes erupt, which turns into turbulence. Here, Srinivasa Rao discerns it is due to a joint family and decides to detach them, which Savitri refuses. So, Srinivasa Rao tricks and splits them. Soon, their affection again flourishes when Savitri affirms the actuality and edicts her husband to retrieve her children, but he denies it. Ergo, she too quits.
