In the latest episode of Karthika Deepam, Tulasi and Monitha have a face off. Monitha is offended by the attitude of Tulasi, who once worked as a nurse in her clinic and later married Vihari. Tulasi rebukes Monitha for ruining Deepa’s life. Monitha warns Tulasi of dire consequences if she doesn’t stay out of the business. Tulasi is seen miffed.
Anand Rao is seen suffering with a heart burn. Soundarya wonders why Bhagyam has spoken high and mighty of Monitha. She further suspects that Monitha must have strategically buttered Bhagyam to keep them away from Deepa. Anand Rao thinks she must be trying to be good with Bhagyam to score brownie points near Karthik and Shravya. As Soundarya goes out to get some pills for his pain, Anand Rao faints. She admits him in their own hospital. Karthik, who is a cardiologist, checks Anand Rao and confirms that the latter suffered a mild heart stroke.
Anand Rao grabs the opportunity to hem Karthik into bringing Deepa. He complains that Karthik is trivialising his pain and says that he wants to see Deepa right away. Soundarya and Adithya decide to play along. She promises to summon Deepa. This leaves Karthik surprised. He reiterates that it is just a mild stroke. He says he will get a senior cardiologist right away and prove his father (Anand Rao) wrong.
Meanwhile at home, Deepa finds Sourya dressed up wearing the necklace that Soundarya gave her (Deepa) during Shravya’s baby shower. Deepa is elated to find Sourya resembling her grandmother (Soundarya). Sourya asks Deepa about the jewellery and its cost. Deepa lies that Shravya gave her the necklace the other day. Sourya then asks why didn’t she return it then and there. Deepa assures to give them back very soon.
Soundarya calls up Deepa, informs about Anand Rao’s health condition and asks her to come at the earliest. Worried Deepa starts immediately.
