Plot

Sasural Genda Phool is a witty, light-hearted story of Ishaan and Suhana, an unlikely couple brought together while bumping into each other in a pool on a vacation in Goa. They are total opposites and hail from completely different family backgrounds. Suhana is a spirited and beautiful girl, living a high profile modern life in a palatial house with enough servants to attend to her needs. Whereas Ishaan is a gentle, good natured IT professional from a joint family living a simple life. In the Bengali ogo bodhu sundori, almost the entire cast have the same name except Suhana is Lalita, Sanjana is Labanya and Ilesh is Imon.

Ishaan and Suhana get married on their family's insistence. The marriage starts on a disastrous note. Suhana admits that she doesn't have any feelings for Ishaan. Ishaan gives his wife time and tries his best to win her heart. She soon begins to admire her nice and kind natured husband. Suhana slowly begins to discover her husband. As each day passes by he becomes more endearing to her. She slowly falls in love with him and they develop a strong and ever lasting marital bond.

It also shows how a girl from a modern nuclear family adjusts in a traditional joint family and forms a loving bond with them. Having lost her mother at a very young age, Suhana experiences mother's love from her mother-in-law. This show is laced with warmth, kindness and humour and is mainly about human emotions and relationships.

Her husband sold her to a drunkard on the first night of marriage and ran away. The drunkard raped her brutally and left her, and he as well (like her husband) ran away. She tried to commit suicide after she found out that she was conceiving from the rape but Shailja found her in time and saved her, and after Shailja brought her home Radha became a part of their lives. Although Radha loves her son Deepak, it pains her to see his face as he reminds her of her horrid past.
