Once upon a time, there was a girl named Rakshana and a boy named Vikranth. They both lived in the same state but in different locations. They were leading happy lives. One day, their parents were transferred to Kerala. The following day, both families travelled to Kerala. Rakshana and Vikranth were both employed in the software industry, working for different IT companies in Bangalore. They had different aspirations and dreams for their lives. During the Sankranthi Holidays, they both returned home. Rakshana's home was next to Vikranth's home. One day, while Rakshana was on the terrace taking pictures, Vikranth and his pet dog Tyson joined her. As Vikranth was taking a selfie, Tyson began barking. Rakshana turned around and looked at Vikranth, She was unable to take her eyes off him. After taking his pictures, Vikranth went back to his home. Rakshana couldn't forget him and developed strong feelings for him. When Vikranth's mother spoke to Rakshana's mother the next day, they discussed their qualifications. Rakshana's mother shared information about her daughter, and Rakshana's mother asked about Vikranth and received information about him. Both mothers then introduced Rakshana and Vikranth to each other. They gradually became friends and shared their personal lives and dreams. Rakshana wanted to become a rider, while Vikranth aspired to be a boxer. They discovered that they both worked in Bangalore, for different companies. Rakshana considered confessing her feelings to Vikranth but decided against it, not wanting to ruin their friendship. The next day, they both returned to Bangalore and their bond grew even stronger. In Vikranth's office, a guy named Shanmukh was envious of Vikranth's achievements. One day, Shanmukh hacked Vikranth's system and sent unauthorized emails to the company members. Vikranth's boss confronted him about the incident the following day and issued a suspension letter. Rakshana's friend Keerthi, who works in Vikranth's office, informed Rakshana about the situation. Rakshana discovered that Shanmukh was behind the hacking and made several attempts to prove his guilt. With the help of her friends, she eventually cleared Vikranth's name and his boss apologized publicly, while Shanmukh was suspended from the company. Vikranth was overjoyed and expressed his gratitude to Rakshana. In his earlier years, Vikranth had been involved in boxing from 5th to 10th grade. However, his parents disapproved of his aggressive behaviour and fights in school, so he gave up boxing to focus on his studies. Despite their objections, Vikranth's parents pushed him to pursue engineering, and he worked hard to secure a good job. He has resumed his boxing career and has been chosen for the National Championship. Shanmukh learned about these accomplishments of Vikranth. Being interested in boxing himself, Shanmukh planned to defeat Vikranth in the Nationals. Rakshana has a passion for riding bikes and leads a team of girls who visit slum areas and orphanages at the end of each month to donate money and provide food. Her ultimate goal is to establish a foundation and improve the lives of those in need. One day, while Rakshana's riding team was in a slum area near Jaipur, they were informed by the locals that the slum dwellers were suffering from an incurable disease. Despite this news, Rakshana stepped forward and provided them with food. Unfortunately, a few days later, she became affected by the disease, which manifested as white patches on her body. When Keerthi came to visit her, Rakshana was in a weakened state and Keerthi took her to the hospital. The doctor informed Keerthi that the disease was incurable and only in rare cases could it be treated, but at a high cost. Keerthi decided not to share this information with Rakshana but instead planned to inform Vikranth. On Rakshana's birthday, Vikranth surprised her at her home, bringing her happiness. Rakshana encouraged him to focus on the upcoming finals and assured him of her support. After the birthday celebration, Keerthi messaged Vikranth, asking to speak with him privately about Rakshana. They met on the lawn where Keerthi revealed the incurable disease and Rakshana's feelings for Vikranth. Overwhelmed, Vikranth promised Keerthi that he would stay by Rakshana's side and take care of her until his finals were over. He requested that Keerthi keep this information confidential, even from their parents. Vikranth sought the help of his friend Karan, who was a doctor and explained the situation. Karan informed him that in rare cases, the disease could be cured, but it was also contagious and expensive to treat. Realizing that he stood to win a cash prize of 1.5 crores if he was selected for the Nationals, Vikranth began practising rigorously and took care of Rakshana as well. Eventually, the day of the match arrived and both Vikranth and Rakshana went to New Delhi. Despite being affected by the disease, Vikranth did not notice the white patches on his body. As they entered the stadium, his opponent player Shanmukh glared at them with anger. The match began with Shanmukh being defeated in the first round by Vikranth, but Vikranth was defeated in the second round. In the final round, Rakshana's condition deteriorated and she collapsed, struggling to breathe. Keerthi rushed to her side and called for an ambulance. Seeing this, Vikranth weakened and Shanmukh took advantage, continuously boxing him until he fell. Gradually, he recalled Rakshana's words and the illness, and he woke up and engaged in a fight with Shanmukh, emerging as the victor. As he received the medal and cash prize, Vikranth was informed by Keerthi that Rakshana had passed away, despite his deteriorating condition after collapsing. The medical team transported Vikranth to the hospital where he eventually succumbed. Keerthi spoke about the disease that had afflicted them and shared this information with news reporters. Upon hearing this, Shanmukh approached Keerthi and promised to take charge of Rakshana's riding team and her foundation. After a year, following the construction of the foundation, Shanmukh named it RAKSHA. He initiated free boxing coaching classes while Keerthi continued to look after the riding team.
