Plot

Mere Angne Mein showcases the lives of the Shrivastavs, a typically middle-class family in Mughalsarai, Uttar Pradesh, India. Shanti is the family matriarch who handles the family affairs in her own style and has complete control over other family members and their activities in the house. When the new bride Riya enters the family on marrying Shivam, she is in conflict with the established order of the house and Shanthi. In addition, the extended family of Shrivastavs has a dysfunctional family of her daughter, Sarla. The story is interwoven with these two families' saga of incoherent conflict and how small incidents create a major crisis.
