She refuses to marry because she wants to focus on her career as a wrestling champion; however, her father has a heart attack and wants her to get married. Her uncle Ganesan arranges her marriage to him and convinces her to lie about herself and pretend to adjust to Veera's type. Hence, she has to wear hair extensions and control her anger. She accepts Veera's marriage proposal only because he refuses dowry. Within a few months, she has to deal with Veera and his misogyny; however, when Veera was going to get killed by Dass over a political disagreement, Keerthi shows her true colors and saves his life. This makes Veera scared of her because he is worried that she will beat him up. This also gets everyone making fun of him that his wife is much stronger and 'manlier' than him. Sattam, the family lawyer, shows Veera the real truth about Keerthi. This makes Veera fearfully respect Keerthi. With this incident, Keerthi rises to popularity. When Ratnam returns from prison, he disrespects Keerthi because he thinks she is inferior to him, which results in Keerthi slapping him. Veera comes to know about this and slaps her and kicks her out of the house.
