Synopsis
This is a family drama about the Nanavati Parivaar, based in Ahmedabad. It strongly establishes the sweet and sour relationship between the five elder daughters-in-law ("bahus") of the family and their youngest "devrani". The show highlights the issues of various relations within a typical Indian family, like "devrani-jethani", relations with in-laws and above all the relation between husband and wife. The show is an emotional saga of the protagonist Bhakti (played by Krishna Gokani), who is a simple village girl. Bhakti's faith and devotion to Lord Krishna is her biggest strength in life. She is brought up by Kashi – her maternal grandmother. Her grandmother is her life and she believes that Lord Krishna to be her friend & family. Bhakti is a simple yet very strong character who never gives up before adversities that she faces in life. Her faith and love always shows her the right path to success. Looked upon as an unlucky girl, Bhakti is a complete loner. Circumstances bring her to Ahmedabad where she gets married to a family that consists of six brothers. Only to realize that the road she has chosen and the family she has chosen as her marital home, both have something else in store for her. Time and again she falls back on her faith in Bal Gopal for right guidance. This show is indeed a mixture of the various flavors of life. With an interesting line of cast, the show promises to bring forward the nuances and intricacies of relationships between the elder and younger bahus of the family. his story is just not a family drama, but a mirror image of middleclass Indian household.
Plot
Season 2
In episode no. 488, aired on 3 May 2010, the show took a seventeen-year leap, and now the story focuses on Mohan and late Bhakti's daughter, Aastha (played by Vidhi Sindhwad), and Padmini's daughter Shikha (played by Ekta Saraiya).
The story moves forward seventeen years; Bhakti is shown to have died after giving birth to a mentally-ill daughter, Aastha; and after the imprisonment of Padmini, Nanavati family has adopted her daughter, Shikha. Aastha is raised by all her aunties with love and care, and is a bubbly and sweet girl. Meanwhile, Shikha grows up to be as ill-mannered as her mother. Raj then comes into the story; Raj and Shikha love each other, but cannot marry as an astrologer predicted Raj's first wife will die. They create a plan so as Raj marries Aastha, as she is mentally ill and won't matter if she dies. After the marriage, Aastha shows no signs of death, so Raj, with the help of Shikha and his aunt Rasila plan to murder Astha and 'get-it-over-and-done-with'. However, Aastha miraculously survives, and the five daughters-in-law attempt to seek revenge from Raj and Rasila, and they eventually succeed in punishing Shikha, Raj and Rasila.
After that, Mohan marries Vrinda, who although is a genuine and loving woman, the Navavati bahus think she is here to steal the money. They eventually realise that Vrinda is a nice woman. Then comes another twist; the Nanavatis' only daughter's family comes to steal the money from the Nanavati house. They kidnap Aastha; but she is rescued by Vrinda; and the kidnappers are jailed. The story ends with the Nanavati family celebrating Vrinda's pregnancy.
