It initially starred Giaa Manek, Rucha Hasabnis Jagdale, Mohammad Nazim, Vishal Singh and Rupal Patel. Manek was replaced by Devoleena Bhattacharjee. The show later focused on the leads' daughters played by Tanya Sharma and Sonam Lamba.

The series revolves around the Modi family, who live in a mansion in Rajkot. It explores morals and values of a typical Gujarati joint family, when cousins Gopi and Rashi marry two Modi sons, Ahem and Jigar.[7] The storyline took several leaps including one year leap in June 2013,[8] eight years leap in February 2014,[9] and a further ten years in March 2015,[10] four years in May 2016[11] and three months in March 2017. The series ended on 23 July 2017, completing 2,184 episodes.[12] It was replaced by Tu Sooraj, Main Saanjh Piyaji.[13]

Plot

The story starts with Kokila Modi's search for a perfect bride for her son Ahem. She chooses Gopi as her daughter-in-law. Ahem leaves his girlfriend Anita for his mother without knowing that Gopi is illiterate. This makes Rashi and Urmila jealous and they plan in between Rashi falls for Jigar, Ahem's brother. Soon, Ahem-Gopi and Jigar-Rashi ties the wedding knot.

But Ahem rejected to accept Gopi as his wife after knowing she is illiterate. Rashi and Urmila plots against Gopi to ruin her married life even more. However, Kokila's makes Gopi a literate and self-confident woman and after many of failed plots by Urmila and Rashi, Ahem finally accepts Gopi. In between, Ahem's sister, Kinjal marries Dhaval (Urmila's nephew).

Later, Gopi gives birth to Meera and Rashi delivers twin-boys Sahir and Samar. Gopi finds her long-lost alive parents. Her younger pampered and selfish sister Radha falls in love with Anita's brother Umang who vows to avenge the Modi family for Anita's bitterness.

Umang marries Radha despite being already married to his accomplice Tripti who kills him out of jealousy. Holding Gopi responsible for Umang's demise, Radha drops Meera in a river who is presumed dead. Gopi is blamed for the incident and she leaves the Modi mansion.

8 years later

Gopi is raising her second daughter Vidya single-handedly. She is an art teacher. Kokila and Ahem are in depression. Rashi is the new matriarch of Modi family. Eventually, Gopi finds out Meera never died, but grew up as an orphan and retrieves her. Then, the whole family is reunited.

Radha's true colours are revealed and she is sent to jail. Later, Rashi sacrifices her life to save Gopi from the latter's obsessed colleague Anurag Joshi, who was in love with her. Urmila gets Jigar engaged and later married to her brother Jai Mehta's daughter Paridhi. Radha returns, tricking Jigar into sleeping with her and gets pregnant.

Soon Radha delivers a daughter, also named Rashi. She threatens to kill baby Rashi and tries to destroy Modi family, starting by pushing Gopi into river who survives and stabs and kills her, as there was no other option left. Gopi is sentenced to 14 years in jail for the same.

Ten years later

Gopi's sentence is reduced due to her good behaviour. She returns to Modi family. Junior Rashi is unaccepted by Paridhi. Urmila is mentally disabled. Ahem lives in Mumbai with Meera, Vidya and another woman Mansi Raheja. Meera is independent and selfish. Vidya is kind and caring.

Ahem, Meera and Vidya blame Gopi for abandoning them. Eventually, Gopi manages to reunite the family. However, Meera refuses to accept and creates many problems for her. Later, Kokila's childhood friend Gaura enters the story to take revenge for her brother's death, caused by Kokila's mistake.

Oblivious to Gaura's intentions, Vidya's marriage is arranged to her grandson Shravan Suryavanshi. Gaura secretly gets Meera married to her son Dharam i.e. Shravan's father. Equally involved in the revenge game with Gaura, Dharam traps Meera in their plan by constantly instigating her against Modi family.

Gaura brainwashes Meera and made her hate the Modis severely. Dharam and Meera keep challenging each other leading to occasional minor banters, due to their age gap and difference in opinions. With much of Meera's time being spent in proximity with Dharam, the hatred soon begins to turn into attraction between them.

Later, Dharam and Meera gradually fall in love. Meera leaves the house returning to her family because of Gaura's behaviour towards her. She decides to marry her ex-boyfriend Sanskaar Patel. However Dharam arrives and professes his love. He and Meera get remarried. Later, it is shown that Ahem dies in an accident.

Four years later

Gopi is extremely depressed since Ahem's demise having not smiled or talked for four years. Vidya has a four-year-old daughter Priyal but is hated by Meera who believes that Vidya was responsible for her miscarriage. The real culprit is actually Dharam's daughter Naiya, who done it for the sake of inheritance.

Kokila decides to accept Dr. Krishna Raheja's marriage proposal for Gopi, who recovers and refuses. Krishna is revealed to be Mansi's brother, who vows revenge on Gopi for separating Mansi from Ahem. Later, Kokila hires Jaggi, Ahem's illegitimate look-alike half brother, to save Gopi from Krishna's evil plans and later he was successful.

Gopi later marries Jaggi to save him from the traps of an evil Radhika. The family accepts their relationship. Gaura returns once again to destroy Modi family and pays Chanda, the surrogate mother of Meera and Dharam's twins, to create troubles for the family and kills her when she attempts to expose her.

Gaura blames Vidya and tries to frame Kokila for the attempted murder of Jaggi's mother Urvashi. Eventually, her crimes are caught. The Modis rescue Sita Rathod from a forced marriage whose stepmother Bhavani falls in love with Dharam and compels Meera to leave the house.

Gopi learns that Vidya is not her daughter; there was a baby swap. Her child is Ramakant, a spoiled and selfish young man of Singapore. She goes there with Jaggi to retrieve Ramakant who heavily troubles the Modis but is unable to return to Singapore due to his criminal record. The Modis arrange his marriage to Sita.

Ramakant elopes with and marries Sameera, who is Anita's daughter, wanting revenge from the Modis blaming them for Anita's death. She joins hands with Bhavani to ruin the Modi family and in between Meera returns. All the crimes of Bhavani and Sameera are later revealed. Ramakant also apologises for his past mistakes and marries Sita. Later the show ends by showing that everybody lives happily ever after.

Guest appearance

Production

Casting

In May 2012, lead Giaa Manek signed on to appear on the reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa on rival network Colors TV.[32] Saathiya producers objected, noting that Manek was under contract with their network and that doing a reality series could tarnish her onscreen image as a soft-spoken character.[14] The producers took their complaints to the Association of Motion Pictures and TV Programme Producers (AMPTPP) and to Cine and TV Artistes’ Association (CINTAA) for arbitration. Members of CINTAA had meetings with Manek and asked her to quit the reality show. Manek declined and Star replaced her with Devoleena Bhattacharjee.[14]

In January 2014, Rucha Hasabnis playing Rashi confirmed that she planned to quit the series any time in that year.[33] However, owing to her marriage she decided to quit acting and she exited in July 2014 with her character being killed.[34]

In May 2016, Mohammed Nazim playing Ahem quit the show and his character was killed off in the show. The reason from a source stated, "Since the existing key actors aired their reservations about playing grandparents, the creatives had no option but to put the time leap on hold. Something drastic needed to be done to liven up the storyline. After brainstorming, the best idea seemed bumping off Ahem's character, so a new man could be introduced in protagonist Gopi's life to take the story forward,"[35] Then, Khalid Siddiqui was cast opposite Bhattacharjee as Krishna in May 2016.[36] As their story was not well received by the viewers, with a decrease in ratings, in July 2016, Nazim was made to re-enter the series as Jaggi, a look-a-like of Ahem and the story focussed on him and Bhattacharjee.[37]

In September 2015, Lovely Sasan playing Paridhi quit the series as she did not want to play the role of a mother.[38] However, on popular demand, when the makers approached her, she agreed and returned in December 2015.[39]

Filming

Based on Gujarat as backdrop, the series was mainly filmed at sets in Mira road near Mumbai.[40] In December 2012, a sequence was shot at Bhuj, Gujarat for 10 days.[41] In March 2013, a sequence was shot at Madh Island.[42]

Besides, some sequences were also filmed at foreign locations including Switzerland in May 2011 and Singapore in February and March 2017.[43][44] Earlier, US was planned but was cancelled due to Visa issues of the cast and Singapore was finalized.[45]
