Plot

Initially, the show focused on life and arranged the marriage of two female cousins (Gopi and Rashi) and their contrasting personalities. Urmila and Jitu adopted Gopi (the latter's niece) after Gopi's parents died; She is left illiterate, naive, kind and shy while Rashi, their own daughter, is educated, friendly, lively and cunning. This is the story of how Kokila Modi - Gopi's steadfast and unwavering mother-in-law, turned the latter into a confident and smarter woman so that she was accepted by her husband, Ahem. Rashi tries many unsuccessful attempts to create trouble for Gopi, but in the end the cousins are happily accepted by their family and their respective partners. Kinjal, Kokila's daughter, is married to Dhaval, the cousin of Rashi. Gopi gave birth to a daughter Meera, while Rashi gave birth to twin boys Sahir and Samar. Gopi also managed to find her long lost parents, who were considered dead. Umang also comes with his wife Tripti to seek revenge from Modi family for Anita's biterness. They use Radha for their plans. Gopi's sister Radha kills Gopi and Ahem's daughter Meera, while Gopi gets blamed, and gets kicked out of Modi Bhavan.

Eight years later

Gopi takes care of her second daughter Vidya herself, Kokila and Ahem are depressed, and Rashi is Modi Bhavan's new matriarch. Finally, Gopi reunites with her family, and the family learns that Meera never died, but grew up as an orphan. Radha and Tripti's true colors are revealed, and she is sent to jail. Later, Rashi sacrifices her life to save Gopi from Anurag who is obsessed and falls in love with her by pushing Gopi away from the Iron Punch. Rashi's husband, Jigar is married to Paridhi, the cousin of Rashi. Radha comes back, doing tricks on Jigar to sleep with her and get pregnant. She gave birth to a girl, who was also named Rashi. Radha threatens to kill Rashi's baby and tries to destroy Modi's family, leaving Gopi no choice but to kill her own sister by stabbing her with a trishula so that she drained blood. Gopi was later sentenced to 14 years in prison.

Ten years later

Gopi's detention period was reduced due to her good behavior. Gopi returns to Modi Mansion at Rajkot and reunites with her family. She finds out that Ahem had left his family and moved to Mumbai with their two daughters, and lives with Mansi, who takes care of Meera and Vidya. Meera has grown up to be cunning and mannerless, while Vidya became a replica of Gopi. Both of them alongwith Ahem blame Gopi for putting others before family. Kokila lives apart, looking after Urmila (who is now mentally handicapped), Junior Rashi (whom Paridhi doesn't accept) and her daughter, Kinjal's in-laws while Kinjal lives at Modi Mansion.

Finally, after many twists and turns, Ahem returns home with Meera and Vidya, and the whole family is reunited. However, Meera refuses to accept Gopi.

Kokila's childhood friend Gaura Suryavanshi arrives to avenge the death of her brother, Karunesh who had died due to Kokila's mistake. The Modi family - unaware of Gaura's true intentions, gets Vidya married to her grandson, Shravan; Meanwhile, Gaura manipulates Meera and asks her to marry - without anyone knowing - to Dharam, his son. Meera becomes Vidya's mother-in-law. Gaura tries to use Meera against her own family to destroy the Modi family, and on several occasions, tries to kill Kokila and Ahem unsuccessfully, and after many twists and turns (one of which led to the death of Dharam's first wife, Durga), Gaura is captured and disowned by her family. Finally, Meera accepts Gopi as her mother.

Both Meera and Vidya fall in love with their respective partners and decide to settle down. Sahir - one of Jigar's sons, married Sonakshi, an illiterate, to the utmost disapproval of Paridhi. Gopi's mother also comes back to take revenge on Kokila for Radha's death, but is killed in the process. Shravan's sister, Naiya to get Vidya's baby. Gaura gets Meera arrested and sentenced to death for attemting to kill her son Dharam which was actually an accident. But Meera is saved by Modi family. Meera decides to marry her ex-boyfriend Sanskar. On the wedding day Dharam arrives and both get marry in front of the family. Meanwhile, Ahem meets with an accident and is presumed to be dead.

Four years later

Gopi went into deep depression after Ahem passed, hasn't smiled or spoken in 4 years. Kokila decided to accept Dr. Krishna Raheja about him marrying Gopi; On the day of the wedding, Gopi recovers, only to not want to be forced to marry Dr. Krishna. Jigar and Paridhi have gone through a major personality change and are no longer caring and family oriented people. Paridhi had kicked Sahir, Sonakshi and their two children out of Modi Bhavan, and had Jigar's other son marry Monica, a proud fashionista. Meanwhile, Meera hates Vidya while holding the latter responsible for her former miscarriage, while the real culprit is Naiyya. Gopi vows to reunite Modis by taking over the family business, and finally it worked. It is revealed that Krishna is Mansi's brother, and he, Mansi and Pramila (his mother) have come to take revenge on Gopi. Kokila hires Ahem's lookalike Jaggi, (Parag and Urvashi's illegitimate child), to save Gopi, and she finally succeeds. Gopi marries Jaggi to save her from Radhika's evil plan, and finally the family accepts their relationship. Gaura returned once again to avenge Modis - she paid Chanda (Meera's surrogate mother) to trouble Modis, and ended up killing her when she [Chanda] tried to expose her, blaming Vidya. It is revealed that Gaura was also responsible for the accident that led to Ahem's death. Gaura also later framed Kokila for Urvashi's attempted murder.

Later, 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. The show ends with Ramakant apologises for his past mistakes and marrying Sita.

Production

Casting

In May 2012, lead Giaa Manek signed on to appear on the reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa on rival network Colors TV.[29] 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.[15] 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.[15]

In January 2014, Rucha Hasabnis playing Rashi confirmed that she planned to quit the series any time in that year.[30] However, owing to her marriage she decided to quit acting and she exited in August 2014 with her character being killed.[31]

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 to bump off Ahem's character, so a new man could be introduced in protagonist Gopi's life to take the story forward,"[32] Then, Khalid Siddiqui was cast opposite Bhattacharjee as Krishna in May 2016.[33] 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 focused on him and Bhattacharjee.[34]

In September 2015, Lovely Sasan playing Paridhi quit the series as she did not want to play the role of a mother.[35] However,after sometime when the makers approached her, she agreed and returned in March 2016.[36]

Filming

Based on Gujarat as backdrop, the series was mainly filmed at sets in Mira road near Mumbai.[37] In December 2012, a sequence was shot at Bhuj, Gujarat for 10 days.[38] In March 2013, a sequence was shot at Madh Island.[39]

Besides, some sequences were also filmed at foreign locations including Switzerland in May 2011 and Singapore in February and March 2017.[40][41] Earlier, US was planned but was cancelled due to Visa issues of the cast and Singapore was finalized.[42]
