Chinna Thambi is blamed for Nandini getting sick and is beaten up by the brothers. Chinna Thambi complies with her wishes and shows her the village, which results in Nandini falling ill. She coerces Chinna Thambi to show her the village without her brothers' knowledge. Nandini meanwhile starts to resent her lack of freedom. Impressed with Chinna Thambi's naivete and fighting skills, the brothers hire Chinna Thambi to be Nandini's bodyguard and butler. One day the bodyguards get into a fight with Chinna Thambi, who defeats them. He does not go to school and spends his time singing and entertaining the people of the village. He is raised by his widowed mother Kannamma. Meanwhile, the boy who sang, Chinna Thambi, grows up to be a naïve and gullible simpleton with a heart of gold. The few males allowed around her are the service staff and her bodyguards. She is homeschooled, and when she does go out, all the men are warned to hide from Nandini and that seeing her will be met with dire consequences. This angers the brothers, and to prevent this from happening, they raise Nandhini within the confines of the house. At the age of five, an astrologer predicts that Nandini will bring much happiness to the family, but she will marry a person of her choice and not of her brothers' choosing. The three brothers raise Nandini like their own child as their parents had died. The young son of the local singer (who had died) is brought in to sing for the event. Her three elder brothers throw a feast in honour of her.
