Plot

The story mainly focuses on Sneha, who is the youngest daughter-in-law of the Shah family; her battle is against her father-in-law Mansukh Lal Shah. Mansukh believes that men should be dominant over women at all times, whereas Sneha believes that both should have equal rights. Sneha is married to Pranav, who is very strong-minded and is a good son. Sneha is married in a joint family, which consists of a sweet, strong-minded but shy mother (Daya), a sweet and gentle natured daughter-in-law (Jyoti), a sweet smart gynecologist doctor turned housewife (Bhavna), a strong-minded son (Amar), a dedicated son (Manoj), a cool, modern son (Karan), a nosy aunt (Kanta Ben), an apprentice of an uncle (Bhagu Mamaji), two little children (Alisha and Bittu), a teenage daughter with big dreams (Hetal) together with loving but funny servants (Manjit and Santu). That is the Shah family, a Jain joint family living together in a male-dominated home; but with Sneha's arrival things start to go haywire.

After Sneha is married, her bhabhis (sisters-in-law) Jyoti, Bhavna, and Daya challenge Sneha to change her behavior and attitude in two months because their father-in-law is a very strict man with many rules which govern their lives. Sneha is determined to open the eyes of the other women of the household, but Mansukh is always two steps ahead of her. This show depicts how Sneha tries to change her in-laws, especially the father-in-law's behavior and thoughts about women in general. Sneha is successful after many ups and downs.
