Plot

The story revolves around Kolhapur's affluent Shirke Patil family consisting of patriarch Yashwant Shirke-Patil (Dadasaheb), his wife Nandini (Mai), sons Malhar and Uday & their respective wives Shalini and Devki. Money minded by nature and influenced by their wives, Malhar and Uday constantly try to swindle their parents' money to satisfy their own selfish interests. Also, a part of the household is maid, Gauri, who was taken in by the family after her father sacrificed himself while saving Dadasaheb's life. Though treated as a daughter by Mai and Dadasaheb, she is constantly berated and ill-treated by other members of the family, except Malhar who sympathises with her.

The plot takes off when the Shirke-Patil's youngest son, Jaydeep, returns from London along with his girlfriend, Jyotika, whom he intends to marry. Having stayed away from the influence of his conniving brothers and sisters-in-law, he strives to keep the family united as well as providing Gauri with the kindness she deserves. A string of trying situations eventually lead to Jaydeep marrying Gauri in order to protect her honour.[4]
