Plot
John and Regina agree to marry each other for the sake of their parents. After the marriage, they live together as strangers in their apartment, where the neighbours are upset with John who comes home drunk every night, which he does deliberately to annoy Regina, who later applies for a transfer to Australia. One night, Regina breaks into fits and John takes her to the hospital, where he is unable to respond to the doctor's queries about Regina's age and medical history due to his intoxicated state. When John goes to apologise to the doctor later on, he is told that it is important to know about his wife's health even if he dislikes her. John asks Regina about her health issues, where she reveals that she had fits twice in the past.
Past: During college, Regina falls in love with Surya Muthuraman, who works in the call centre of a mobile company. Surya gets selected for airline cabin-crew training in the US, where he and Regina decide to inform their parents about their love, but Surya's father objects to their relationship and hence they decide to get married without informing their parents. On the designated day, Surya fails to show up at the registrars office for the wedding. Regina's father, James, feels sorry for his daughter and takes her to Surya's house, where they learn that Surya has already left for the US. Few days later, Regina gets a call from Surya's friend Aiyappan and learns that Surya had committed suicide. Due to the shock, Regina suffers fits for the first time. 3 years later, Regina can't stand the fact her father is in a mess due to her reluctancy to marry, and accepts the marriage proposal from John's family for her father's sake.
