Plot
The young village girl Chitti (Divya Bharti) is bubbly and fun-loving. She is enjoying life with her young group of friends, consisting of three younger boys. One day, while playing one of her pranks, an old man curses her. On top of that, she witnesses a pregnant woman falling at night and suffering immense pain before ultimately dying. This incident causes Chitti's fear of pregnancy. A young man, Sai Krishna (Mohan Babu), visits the village and befriends Chitti. Soon after that, her parents arrange Chitti's marriage with Mohan Babu. Both are more than happy with this arrangement. After the wedding, however, Chitti does not want to consummate the marriage for fear of getting pregnant. Mohan Babu is unhappy about it and soon gets attracted to a young doctor (Pooja Bedi). Dreaming of spending nights with her, Mohan Babu gets drunk and goes home where he rapes Chitti. The next morning, upon getting sober, Mohan Babu tries to comfort the outraged Chitti, while the latter tries to leave for her village to go back to her parents. Mohan Babu tries to win her back, but fails time after time. Chitti soon learns that she got pregnant that night while her doctor turns out to be the woman her husband is crazy for.
