Meanwhile, a young woman named Masthanamma^{[permanent dead link]}(Lakshmi) is hired as a household help by Snigdha's mother-in-law. Unbeknownst to anyone, Mastanamma, who practices witchcraft, captures a terrifying paranormal entity known as 'Khabees^{[permanent dead link]}' and holds him captive on the top a wardrobe as her slave.
