The new television show Shanthi Nivasa is set to premiere on Monday, marking the comeback of Nithya Ram to the small screen. The story centers on Shanthi, the lifeline of her family. She is the daughter-in-law of Govardhanraya, wife of Sushanth, mother of Raghav, and the un-adopted daughter of Ratnamma, the maid of the house. Shanthi is the pillar of Shanthi Nivasa, understanding everyone’s mind and emotions. Though not as educated as the elder daughter-in-law, she excels in hospitality and respecting elders.
Shanthi, who manages the household like a daughter, also cares for her stepmother Yashodha, never forgetting her responsibilities. She is seen as an epitome of patience and forgiveness. Despite her contributions, Shanthi is disliked by Manthra, who seeks revenge after serving a jail term, blaming Shanthi for her imprisonment. Manthra, with her friend Gagana, searches for Shanthi and eventually finds her. However, Shanthi is protected by the love, affection, kindness, and trust of her family, making it difficult for Manthra to penetrate this fortress.
Manthra devises a plan to enter Shanthi Nivasa, pretending to be a friend of Sushanth, and slowly gains Shanthi’s trust. Shanthi, unaware of Manthra’s true intentions, treats her as a family member, showering her with love and affection. Despite warnings from others about Manthra’s intentions, Shanthi continues to trust her, furthering Manthra’s plan for revenge.
The show poses several questions: Will Manthra win the hearts of Shanthi’s family members? Will her plan succeed? Will Sushanth fall for Manthra? And will Shanthi’s patience and resilience ultimately prevail against Manthra’s revenge?
