Vamsi has a colleague called Sneha (Mayuri Kango) who is selected to model his creations in the fashion contest. Since Vamsi has to study the culture of Australia to design the best outfit, he is asked to tour Australia extensively for a month. Shilpa (Namrata Shirodkar) is the daughter of an industrialist Ankineedu Prasad (Nassar), who is studying in Australia. She decides to take a vacation after exams by touring the Australian country.

When Vamsi is disappointed since his model friend is injured, Shilpa surprises him by entering the contest with Vamsi's designs and winning the first prize for him. When Vamsi and Shilpa are returning to India, Sneha decides to stay back as she thinks that an Indian model will fare better in Australia than India.
