It shows how men want women as their mother or wife, but not as their daughter or sister. It is widely loved by the audience who still recollect watching the serial during their middle school days.
The story revolves around Akshaya (Sameera Sherief) and her social and love lives. She is a modern young lady with quality education to back her strong opinions against the present patriarchal society. She meets Srikar (Manmohan), a handsome man who approaches her, and though initially reluctant, later starts falling for him over the course of the serial. Other prominent characters include Vishwanatham, Uma, Sushila, Suresh, Nagaraju, Swapna, and Jagan.
Vishwanatham is the senior head of the family and looks after his family with care, but at the same time exhibits his patriarchy over the women in the family. He does not tolerate Akshaya’s bold attitude and gets furious with her, rebuking her on multiple occasions. Uma and Sushila depict mere puppets in the society that are manipulated by the staunch men to do everything as per their wishes. Suresh's character serves to comfort Akshaya, and she shares most of her views on the struggle of women in society, and its repercussions with him. Nagaraju portrays the adamant section on society that doesn’t want to change and hence is frequently challenged by Akshaya, who manages to teach him a lesson every single time, serving as a slap on the face of the society. This provides the comic elements to the otherwise serious drama.
Swapna and Jagan are the female and male negative characters respectively, trying to manipulate the rest of the characters for their benefit. Most of the problems that are faced by the family are a result of the actions of these two and the resultant after effects. While Swapna, the vamp, is always trying to create a rift between the beautiful relationship of Akshaya and Srikar by causing numerous misunderstandings between them whenever she gets the opportunity to, Jagan, the greedy, lustful villain, wants just two things – money and honey. He tries robbing Vishwanatham on several occasions, failing to do so thanks to Uma's intelligent interventions, and shifts his glance from one female character to another, initially choosing Uma over Sushila and later going after Uma's daughters.
The drama is well-scripted, and the cast does brilliant justice to the screenplay as each episode comes out with new twists and turns and manages to engage the audience throughout the duration of it. Lead actors Sameera and Manmohan are still remembered for their chemistry and acting, this being Sameera's first ever serial. The message being conveyed is wonderfully put forward and leaves an impact on the viewers after watching it. That is the reason for the audience feeling nostalgic about watching their favorite serial on ETV Plus even after more than a decade passing away since its initial date of airing.
