He even stops going to school and become a slave to his mother.
As the time passes Annayya grows up and gets married to Saraswati(Madhoo

This humiliation does not worry Saraswati who eventually wins the battle once Nagamani realizes the importance of loving her stepson back as much as he loves her.
