'''''Seeta aur Geeta''''' ({{trans|''Seeta and Geeta''}}) is a 1972 Indian [[Hindi]]-language [[comedy-drama]] film, written by [[Salim–Javed]] ([[Salim Khan]] and [[Javed Akhtar]]) and directed by [[Ramesh Sippy]]. It stars [[Hema Malini]], [[Dharmendra]] and [[Sanjeev Kumar]] in leading roles, and features music composed by [[R.D. Burman]].

The story is about [[identical twins]] (played by Hema Malini) who are separated at birth and grow up with different temperaments. The twins then swap places (like ''[[The Prince and the Pauper]]''). The two sisters' partners in the movie are played by Dharmendra and Sanjeev Kumar. [[Manorama (Hindi actress)|Manorama]] plays the evil aunt who changes her tune after her arm is twisted (literally). Furthermore, Hema Malini was noted for the novelty of her role as Geeta where she is rambunctious and sometimes violent.

The main theme of this movie was copied from the superhit Telugu movie [[Ramudu Bheemudu]]. As hinted in the Wikipedia page, it is said that the producer of this movie [[B. Nagi Reddy]] was furious with [[Salim–Javed]] for copying his story and hence he went on to quickly move on to making remakes in other languages include the [[Telugu language|Telugu]] film ''[[Ganga Manga]]'' (1973) and the [[Tamil language|Tamil]] film ''[[Vani Rani (film)|Vani Rani]]'' (1974), both starring [[Vanisri]] in the dual roles.<ref>http://www.ghantasala.info/tfs/cdata0872.html</ref>

This Tamil film was remade as ''[[Ram Aur Shyam]]'' starring [[Dilip Kumar]] in the leading dual role,<ref>http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/enspRam-aur-Shyam-1967/article15934737.ece</ref> which inspired Salim-Javed to write ''Seeta Aur Geeta'',<ref name="mid-day"/> but they subverted the formula by having the heroine eventually become the "hero" while the male lead is in a mostly supporting role.<ref name="Chintamani"/> Another earlier film with a similar theme was ''[[Muqabala]]'' (1942) starring [[Fearless Nadia]]. Subsequent Hindi remakes of the story have been made, including [[Geeta Mera Naam]] starring [[Sadhana Shivdasani]],
''[[Jaise Ko Taisa]]'' starring [[Jeetendra]],
''[[ChaalBaaz]]'' starring [[Sridevi]],
''[[Kishen Kanhaiya]]'' starring [[Anil Kapoor]],
''[[Judwaa]]'' starring [[Salman Khan]],
''[[Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi]]'' starring [[Kajol]], in the dual roles.

Hema Malini won her only competitive [[Filmfare Best Actress Award]] of her career. P. Vaikunth won the [[Filmfare Best Cinematographer Award]].<ref>http://deep750.googlepages.com/FilmfareAwards.pdf</ref> It became a cult film in the [[Soviet Union]] when it was shown there.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.thehindu.com/thread/arts-culture-society/article9235594.ece | title=Hardly a stranger in Moscow | newspaper=The Hindu | first=Prabhat | last=Singh | date=18 October 2016 | access-date=8 October 2020 }}</ref>

==Plot==

Seeta and Geeta ([[Hema Malini]] in a dual role) are twin girls who were separated at birth. Geeta, a feisty girl is raised in a poor neighborhood and is a street performer, while Seeta is raised by her cruel aunt Chachi and meek uncle. Chachi treats Seeta like a servant, despite the fact that the family is living off her late parents' money. Seeta's only consolation is her old wheelchair bound grandmother.

One day, Seeta decides life is not worth living and runs away to commit suicide. She is saved but is mistaken for her identical twin Geeta and is taken to Geeta's home. Meanwhile, Seeta's aunt and uncle are frantically searching for her and find Geeta. They attempt to force Geeta to go with them but, using some of her clever tricks, she escapes them and the police who have been searching for her. She then meets Ravi ([[Sanjeev Kumar]]) and, though he also mistakes her for Seeta, she goes home with him. Ravi is surprised by this "Seeta" and the Seeta he had met previously. Geeta realizes the cruelty that Seeta has been living under and vows to teach her aunt a lesson.

Meanwhile, the real Seeta is living in Geeta's house. Her surrogate mother has attributed her new docile attitude to shock. Here, Seeta meets Raka ([[Dharmendra]]), Geeta's friend and fellow performer. Raka is also surprised by "Geeta's" sudden gentle nature and desire to do housework. When he tried to coax her into performing, she is unable to do so. Ravi meanwhile falls in love with Geeta. At home, Geeta begins to set everything on a proper course. She resumes control of the money and restores her grandmother to the head of the household, where she belongs. Raka begins to fall in love with Seeta. Trouble begins brewing when Chachi's brother Ranjeet comes to visit and sees the real Seeta in a marketplace. He follows her and discovers the truth, which leads to a showdown in the villains' den and then marriage.

==Production==
According to [[Salim Khan]], one half of screenwriting duo [[Salim–Javed]], the concept of ''Seeta Aur Geeta'' was inspired by the [[Dilip Kumar]] starrer ''[[Ram Aur Shyam]]'' (1967), but they altered the formula with twin female sisters.<ref name="mid-day">{{cite news|title=Seeta Aur Geeta was inspired: Salim Khan|url=http://www.mid-day.com/articles/seeta-aur-geeta-was-inspired-salim-khan/206163|work=[[Mid-Day]]|date=28 March 2013}}</ref> ''Seeta Aur Geeta'' subverted the formula by having the heroine Hema Malini eventually become the "hero" while male lead Dharmendra is in a mostly supporting role.<ref name="Chintamani">{{cite web|last=Chintamani|first=Gautam|title=The brilliance of Salim-Javed lies not just in what they said, but how they said it|url=https://scroll.in/article/764622/the-brilliance-of-salim-javed-lies-not-just-in-what-they-said-but-how-they-said-it|website=Scroll|date=25 October 2015}}</ref>

Ramesh Sippy initially wanted Nutan as Seeta and Geeta because he "saw the heroine as a mature woman with a child" but he was advised against casting a heroine who was "at a mature phase of her career when the hero, too, was getting along in age." The film was also offered to popular actress Mumtaz, who ironically starred in ''Ram Aur Shyam,'' but she refused the offer as she wasn't paid enough. According to Sippy, the film's budget costed 40 lakhs<ref>http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/the-man-behind-gabbar/article5204322.ece</ref><ref>http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/the-making-of-a-dream/article2242301.ece</ref>

'''''Shaan''''' ({{translation|Pride}}) is a 1980 Indian [[Hindi]]-language action crime film directed by [[Ramesh Sippy]] and produced by G.P. Sippy with a story written by [[Salim–Javed]] after the blockbuster success of their previous venture, ''[[Sholay]]'' (1975). The film stars an [[ensemble cast]] of [[Sunil Dutt]], [[Amitabh Bachchan]], [[Shashi Kapoor]], [[Shatrughan Sinha]], Parveen Babi, [[Bindiya Goswami]], Rakhee Gulzar, [[Johnny Walker (actor)|Johnny Walker]] and [[Kulbhushan Kharbanda]]. The plot focuses on Vijay (Bachchan) and Ravi (Kapoor), two conmen who decide to mend their ways after their brother DSP Shiv Kumar (Dutt) is killed and join hands with Rakesh (Sinha), a marksman who also has connection with the killer that is the invincible Shakaal (Kharbanda).

The film was an average performer upon its initial release.{{citation needed|date=October 2012}} However, it did a great business after re-runs with packed houses. Eventually, it was declared to be the highest grosser of 1980 by IBOS.<ref>http://ibosnetwork.com/asp/topgrossersbyyear.asp?year=1980</ref> It is classed as an All time Blockbuster. It did obtain the services of ''Sholay''{{'}}s music composer, R.D. Burman, whose songs bagged a [[Filmfare Award for Best Music Director|Best Music]] nomination at [[Filmfare Awards|Filmfare]]. ''Shaan'' was one of the last films to feature the vocals of [[Mohammed Rafi]].

==Plot==
Deputy Commissioner of Police Shiv Kumarr ([[Sunil Dutt]]) returns home to his wife Sheetal ([[Rakhee Gulzar]]) and their young daughter, announcing that he has been transferred to Bombay. He has two brothers Vijay ([[Amitabh Bachchan]]) and Ravi ([[Shashi Kapoor]]) who live in Bombay. They are intelligent, capable guys, but spend their time loafing about the city and swindling unsuspecting people. However, a mysterious man ([[Shatrughan Sinha]]) tries to assassinate Shiv twice in the city, but Shiv survives both times.

After being swindled by Chacha ([[Johnny Walker (actor)|Johnny Walker]]) and Renu ([[Bindiya Goswami]]), Vijay and Ravi decide to join forces with them along with a glamorous thief named Sunita ([[Parveen Babi]]). One of their tricks eventually backfires and lands Vijay and Ravi in jail. However, Shiv bails them out and reads them the riot act at home, hoping to shape them into a much honorable life. After hearing about the two attempts on Shiv's life, Vijay and Ravi try to advise him to find a different line of work, arguing that his profession is unpredictable, dangerous and unsuitable for a family man. However, Shiv stands firm by citing his undying patriotic commitment to his corps and his country.

It eventually turns that the mysterious man works for a sadistic international crime lord named Shakaal ([[Kulbhushan Kharbanda]]), who is operating from a remote island outside India while funding crime in Bombay and rejoicing in pain of his enemies and traitors. Due to the fact that Shiv is getting closer to finding out the root of the criminal acts in Bombay, Shakaal has Shiv brought to the island, where he kills Shiv on the beach from a helicopter and has his body dumped back to Bombay.

As Vijay, Ravi and Sheetal lament their tragic loss of Shiv, the mysterious man shows up, introducing himself as Rakesh, a marksman and former circus performer who used to shoot targets blindfolded. Rakesh confessed that he was blackmailed to work for Shakaal, who held Rakesh's wife hostage, and that he deliberately missed on the two previous occasions in hopes of buying time to rescue his wife. However, Shakaal already had deduced this and arranged Rakesh's wife to be killed in a car accident in retaliation. Upon learning this, Vijay and Ravi allied with Rakesh in hopes of killing Shakaal in revenge for their loved ones. To that end, the trio seek the aid of a homeless cripple Abdul ([[Mazhar Khan (actor, born 1955)|Mazhar Khan]]), who provided them information about Shakaal's contraband warehouse in Bombay. Though the trio manage to destroy the warehouse, Shakaal retaliates by having his men to murder Abdul and kidnap Sheetal.

Though it would've appeared that the trio are about to concede defeat over Sheetal's imminent fate, one of Shakaal's aides named Jagmohan ([[Mac Mohan]]) arrives to them and offers his help to gain entry to Shakaal's hideout, as he was brutally crippled by Shakaal for his previous failure. Posing as a musical troupe, the trio (along with Renu, Chacha and Sunita) enter the island and perform for Shakaal, but the latter captures them, revealing that he actually sent Jagmohan (who was faking his injuries) to trap them. However, Chacha causes a commotion that allows the trio to escape and kill Jagmohan and the rest of Shakaal's men.

Just as the trio finally managed to trap Shakaal and are about to kill him, Sheetal refuses to let them, pointing out that doing so would be disrespectful to the law that Shiv upholds. The arguing commotion allows Shakaal to free himself, forcing the trio to fatally shoot him down in self-defense. However, Shakaal sets the island to self-destruct before he dies. Despite this, the trio and their loved ones escape on a helicopter to safety, satisfied that they have beaten Shakaal in his tracks for good.

==Production==
Logistical issues relating to other projects in which the cast were involved meant that ''Shaan'' took three years to make.<ref name=bw/> While ''[[Sholay]]'' drew its inspiration from the [[American Western]] and [[Spaghetti Western]] films, ''Shaan'' took its lead from the [[James Bond]] films with fancy sets and beautiful costumes. Shakaal, the bald villain (originally to be played by [[Sanjeev Kumar]]<ref name="republicworld.com">https://www.republicworld.com/entertainment-news/bollywood-news/amitabh-bachchans-shaan-gave-an-iconic-villain-to-film-industry.html</ref>) played by [[Kulbhushan Kharbanda]], was based on the James Bond villain, [[Blofeld]].

A large golden eagle is prominent in Shakaal's island lair and in the Bollywood obligatory final song-and-dance. The eagle is reminiscent of the golden lamb in Cecile DeMille's Ten Commandments; construction on the golden eagle required outside experts to be flown in and cost, in Rupees, the equivalent of the chariot scene in Ben-Hur.

[[G. P. Sippy|Sippy]] wanted to repeat the cast of [[Sholay]] for this film, but due to date issues, [[Sunil Dutt]] played the role initially offered to [[Sanjeev Kumar]], [[Bindiya Goswami]] played the role initially offered to [[Hema Malini]], and [[Shashi Kapoor]] was selected when [[Dharmendra]] declined to do the character of Ravi.

The film was set and partially filmed on the island of [[Steep Holm]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Legg|first1=Rodney|title=Steep Holm Legends and History|date=1993|publisher=Dorset Publishing Company|isbn=978-0948699597|pages=140–141}}</ref>

[[Parveen Babi]] suffered her first anxiety attack when she completed shooting of the song Pyar Karnewale. Just after the shooting of that song, there was a scene in the film where Parveen Babi is inside the car and then [[Amitabh Bachchan]] gets in the car. The scene was later shot when Parveen Babi returned from the U.S. and she recommenced work by shooting this scene.<ref name="republicworld.com"/>

The music was composed by [[R. D. Burman]] and the lyrics were penned by [[Anand Bakshi]].

The version of the song "Yamma Yamma" is not the final recorded song, that is used in the movie. Its was a rehearsed copy sung by Late Mohd Rafi, and the actual recording was scheduled for later, which was used by RD Burman in the movie due to the sudden untimely death of Mohd Rafi before the final recording.

'''''Shaan''''' ({{translation|Pride}}) is a 1980 Indian [[Hindi]]-language action crime film directed by [[Ramesh Sippy]] and produced by G.P. Sippy with a story written by [[Salim–Javed]] after the blockbuster success of their previous venture, ''[[Sholay]]'' (1975). The film stars an [[ensemble cast]] of [[Sunil Dutt]], [[Amitabh Bachchan]], [[Shashi Kapoor]], [[Shatrughan Sinha]], Parveen Babi, [[Bindiya Goswami]], Rakhee Gulzar, [[Johnny Walker (actor)|Johnny Walker]] and [[Kulbhushan Kharbanda]]. The plot focuses on Vijay (Bachchan) and Ravi (Kapoor), two conmen who decide to mend their ways after their brother DSP Shiv Kumar (Dutt) is killed and join hands with Rakesh (Sinha), a marksman who also has connection with the killer that is the invincible Shakaal (Kharbanda).

The film was an average performer upon its initial release.{{citation needed|date=October 2012}} However, it did a great business after re-runs with packed houses. Eventually, it was declared to be the highest grosser of 1980 by IBOS.<ref>http://ibosnetwork.com/asp/topgrossersbyyear.asp?year=1980</ref> It is classed as an All time Blockbuster. It did obtain the services of ''Sholay''{{'}}s music composer, R.D. Burman, whose songs bagged a [[Filmfare Award for Best Music Director|Best Music]] nomination at [[Filmfare Awards|Filmfare]]. ''Shaan'' was one of the last films to feature the vocals of [[Mohammed Rafi]].

==Plot==
Deputy Commissioner of Police Shiv Kumarr ([[Sunil Dutt]]) returns home to his wife Sheetal ([[Rakhee Gulzar]]) and their young daughter, announcing that he has been transferred to Bombay. He has two brothers Vijay ([[Amitabh Bachchan]]) and Ravi ([[Shashi Kapoor]]) who live in Bombay. They are intelligent, capable guys, but spend their time loafing about the city and swindling unsuspecting people. However, a mysterious man ([[Shatrughan Sinha]]) tries to assassinate Shiv twice in the city, but Shiv survives both times.

After being swindled by Chacha ([[Johnny Walker (actor)|Johnny Walker]]) and Renu ([[Bindiya Goswami]]), Vijay and Ravi decide to join forces with them along with a glamorous thief named Sunita ([[Parveen Babi]]). One of their tricks eventually backfires and lands Vijay and Ravi in jail. However, Shiv bails them out and reads them the riot act at home, hoping to shape them into a much honorable life. After hearing about the two attempts on Shiv's life, Vijay and Ravi try to advise him to find a different line of work, arguing that his profession is unpredictable, dangerous and unsuitable for a family man. However, Shiv stands firm by citing his undying patriotic commitment to his corps and his country.

It eventually turns that the mysterious man works for a sadistic international crime lord named Shakaal ([[Kulbhushan Kharbanda]]), who is operating from a remote island outside India while funding crime in Bombay and rejoicing in pain of his enemies and traitors. Due to the fact that Shiv is getting closer to finding out the root of the criminal acts in Bombay, Shakaal has Shiv brought to the island, where he kills Shiv on the beach from a helicopter and has his body dumped back to Bombay.

As Vijay, Ravi and Sheetal lament their tragic loss of Shiv, the mysterious man shows up, introducing himself as Rakesh, a marksman and former circus performer who used to shoot targets blindfolded. Rakesh confessed that he was blackmailed to work for Shakaal, who held Rakesh's wife hostage, and that he deliberately missed on the two previous occasions in hopes of buying time to rescue his wife. However, Shakaal already had deduced this and arranged Rakesh's wife to be killed in a car accident in retaliation. Upon learning this, Vijay and Ravi allied with Rakesh in hopes of killing Shakaal in revenge for their loved ones. To that end, the trio seek the aid of a homeless cripple Abdul ([[Mazhar Khan (actor, born 1955)|Mazhar Khan]]), who provided them information about Shakaal's contraband warehouse in Bombay. Though the trio manage to destroy the warehouse, Shakaal retaliates by having his men to murder Abdul and kidnap Sheetal.

Though it would've appeared that the trio are about to concede defeat over Sheetal's imminent fate, one of Shakaal's aides named Jagmohan ([[Mac Mohan]]) arrives to them and offers his help to gain entry to Shakaal's hideout, as he was brutally crippled by Shakaal for his previous failure. Posing as a musical troupe, the trio (along with Renu, Chacha and Sunita) enter the island and perform for Shakaal, but the latter captures them, revealing that he actually sent Jagmohan (who was faking his injuries) to trap them. However, Chacha causes a commotion that allows the trio to escape and kill Jagmohan and the rest of Shakaal's men.

Just as the trio finally managed to trap Shakaal and are about to kill him, Sheetal refuses to let them, pointing out that doing so would be disrespectful to the law that Shiv upholds. The arguing commotion allows Shakaal to free himself, forcing the trio to fatally shoot him down in self-defense. However, Shakaal sets the island to self-destruct before he dies. Despite this, the trio and their loved ones escape on a helicopter to safety, satisfied that they have beaten Shakaal in his tracks for good.

==Production==
Logistical issues relating to other projects in which the cast were involved meant that ''Shaan'' took three years to make.<ref name=bw/> While ''[[Sholay]]'' drew its inspiration from the [[American Western]] and [[Spaghetti Western]] films, ''Shaan'' took its lead from the [[James Bond]] films with fancy sets and beautiful costumes. Shakaal, the bald villain (originally to be played by [[Sanjeev Kumar]]<ref name="republicworld.com">https://www.republicworld.com/entertainment-news/bollywood-news/amitabh-bachchans-shaan-gave-an-iconic-villain-to-film-industry.html</ref>) played by [[Kulbhushan Kharbanda]], was based on the James Bond villain, [[Blofeld]].

A large golden eagle is prominent in Shakaal's island lair and in the Bollywood obligatory final song-and-dance. The eagle is reminiscent of the golden lamb in Cecile DeMille's Ten Commandments; construction on the golden eagle required outside experts to be flown in and cost, in Rupees, the equivalent of the chariot scene in Ben-Hur.

[[G. P. Sippy|Sippy]] wanted to repeat the cast of [[Sholay]] for this film, but due to date issues, [[Sunil Dutt]] played the role initially offered to [[Sanjeev Kumar]], [[Bindiya Goswami]] played the role initially offered to [[Hema Malini]], and [[Shashi Kapoor]] was selected when [[Dharmendra]] declined to do the character of Ravi.

The film was set and partially filmed on the island of [[Steep Holm]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Legg|first1=Rodney|title=Steep Holm Legends and History|date=1993|publisher=Dorset Publishing Company|isbn=978-0948699597|pages=140–141}}</ref>

[[Parveen Babi]] suffered her first anxiety attack when she completed shooting of the song Pyar Karnewale. Just after the shooting of that song, there was a scene in the film where Parveen Babi is inside the car and then [[Amitabh Bachchan]] gets in the car. The scene was later shot when Parveen Babi returned from the U.S. and she recommenced work by shooting this scene.<ref name="republicworld.com"/>

==Soundtrack==
The music was composed by [[R. D. Burman]] and the lyrics were penned by [[Anand Bakshi]].

The version of the song "Yamma Yamma" is not the final recorded song, that is used in the movie. Its was a rehearsed copy sung by Late Mohd Rafi, and the actual recording was scheduled for later, which was used by RD Burman in the movie due to the sudden untimely death of Mohd Rafi before the final recording. However, it turned amazingly outstanding. This is the only song where Mohd Rafi and RD Burman sing a duet together.song "mittua" inspired by Bony M , Rasputin song.

*The climax of this film was repeated in [[Shekhar Kapur]]'s ''[[Mr. India (1987 film)|Mr. India]]''.

'''''Maza Pati Karodpati''''' ({{translation|My Husband Is A Millionaire}}) is a 1988 Indian [[Marathi language|Marathi]]-language comedy-drama film directed by Sachin Pilgaonkar and produced by Chelaram Bhatia and Lalchand Bhatia. The film stars an [[ensemble cast]] of Sachin Pilgaonkar, [[Supriya Pilgaonkar]], [[Ashok Saraf]], [[Kishori Shahane]], [[Nilu Phule]], Shubha Khote, Suhas Bhalekar, [[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]] and [[Macchindra Kambli]].

== Synopsis ==
Shaku ([[Supriya Pilgaonkar]]), a sober but stubborn orphan, lives with her maternal uncle Damodar (Suhas Bhalekar), a bachelor, in a slum. Her sole dream is to marry a millionaire. According to her, a girl gets only one chance to change her name and condition in life, and that is after her marriage. Damodar works as a cook for Mr. Laxmidhar Kuber ([[Nilu Phule]]), a renowned industrialist, whose son Naren (Sachin Pilgaonkar) has just returned from abroad after completing his studies. At a party thrown by Mr. Kuber for his son's homecoming, Naren tells his friends his views on marriage. His only condition is that he will marry a young widow, which is overheard by Shaku.

With the help of Damodar's friend Tatya Malvankar ([[Macchindra Kambli]]), Shaku poses as a young widow named Saudamini and enters the Kuber residence. Using her theatrical antics, she soon wins over the hearts of Mrs. Kuber (Shubha Khote) and Naren, who ask her to live in the house. As days go by, Naren falls in love with her but Mr. Kuber asks for Saudamini's late husband's photograph. Again with the help of Tatya Malvankar, Shaku shows them the photograph of a man dressed as a military officer and tells his name as Captain Bajirao Rangade.

In the parallel plot, Dinkar Luktuke ([[Ashok Saraf]]) is a clerk working for Mr. Kuber's close friend Mr. Gajanan Deshmukh ([[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]]), while he is secretly in love with his employer's daughter Hema ([[Kishori Shahane]]). One day, when Mr. Kuber visits Mr. Deshmukh at his office, he bumps into Luktuke whom he recognizes as the "late Captain Bajirao Rangade" in the photograph. A plan begins to take shape in Mr. Kuber's mind.

== Plot ==
Shaku ([[Supriya Pilgaonkar]]) is a girl orphaned by fate living in poverty with her maternal uncle Damodar (Suhas Bhalekar), who has raised her all by himself as a single relative. She is a talented actress who acts in the dramas taking place in their locality. Shaku's sole dream is to marry a millionaire as according to her, a girl gets only one chance to change her name and condition in life, and that is after her marriage. Damodar works as a servant for the wealthy industrialist Laxmidhar Kuber ([[Nilu Phule]]) and his understanding wife Mrs. Kuber (Shubha Khote) whose son Narendra Kuber, also known as Naren (Sachin Pilgaonkar), has just returned from the US after his graduation. Laxmidhar and Mrs. Kuber throw a grand party at their house for Naren's homecoming, where Shaku accompanies Damodar to assist him in the chores.

While there, Shaku overhears Naren sharing his views about marriage with his friends, when he expresses his desire of marrying only a widow for not having the ability to buy enough time to spend with his wife. Having fallen in love with Naren, Shaku vows to marry only him at any cost after realising that he is the heir to the infinity of wealth at his house. Using her theatrical antics with the help of her costume lender Tatya Malvankar ([[Macchindra Kambli]]), she creates a sequence of events that allows her to enter the Kuber residence. Further, Shaku fools Naren and his parents that she is a homeless widow named "Saudamini" and that she has gone into a state of sorrow since her husband's sad demise.

Therefore, Shaku is quickly accepted by the Kuber family after her pretence of having developed mental shock. Soon, she wins over the hearts of Naren and Mrs. Kuber who ask her to stay for some more time. While seeking refuge in the Kubers' house, Shaku tries to influence Naren by shedding unreal tears in the memory of her deceased husband. This prompts Naren to take Saudamini for outings to help her recover from the loss of her husband. Slowly, Naren realises that he has fallen in love with Saudamini and goes on to propose marriage to her. Feeling that she has finally accomplished her mission, Shaku accepts his marriage proposal after showing some hesitation.

However, Naren faces objection from Laxmidhar who demands information about Saudamini's past. Nevertheless, Shaku lies to the Kubers that her husband was a military officer named "Captain Bajirao Rangade", and that he died after getting hit by a soda water bottle during a riot. When asked for photograph, Tatya provides Shaku with the photograph of an aspiring drama actor ([[Ashok Saraf]]) dressed in a military uniform. Eventually, Laxmidhar agrees for Naren and Saudamini's marriage despite his wish to marry off his son to Hema ([[Kishori Shahane]]), the daughter of his close friend Deshmukh ([[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]]) who is an equally wealthier businessman.

Meanwhile, it is revealed that the aspiring drama actor whose photograph was provided by Tatya is Dinkar Luktuke, a homeless clerk at Deshmukh's office who is secretly having a love affair with Hema. Shortly, things take a turn when Laxmidhar visits Deshmukh's office and surprisingly bumps into Luktuke. Laxmidhar recognizes him from the photograph of Saudamini's late husband and grows suspicious of her true intentions. Wanting to become sure of Saudamini's deception, Laxmidhar instructs Luktuke to perform a mysterious drama at his house in exchange of a well-furnished, four-bedroom plot and 24/7 water supply for his living.

Acting upon Laxmidhar's instructions, Luktuke shockingly poses as "Captain Bajirao Rangade" and enters the Kuber residence as Saudamini's "alive" husband, who has returned to his wife after recovering from a coma. Shaku immediately denies any relation with Captain Rangade and lies that her husband was a left-hander. However, her plan backfires as Luktuke outsmarts her and confesses about being a left-hander in the past. To make matters worse, it turns out that Luktuke was born with six toes on his left foot, while Shaku had fooled the Kuber family with the same identification of her husband.

Eventually, Mrs. Kuber still does not accept Captain Rangade as Saudamini's husband while a distressed Naren faces a dilemma. In last hopes of regaining his relationship with Saudamini, he bribes Captain Rangade and tries to influence him to give her a divorce. However, Luktuke stands firm by citing his undying affection to his wife. Despite this, Hema spots Luktuke with Naren at a restaurant and follows him, therefore learning the truth. After the two come face-to-face, a stunned Luktuke unwillingly refuses to go with Hema, which provokes her into pretending to be in love with Naren to make him jealous.

That night, Luktuke returns home drunk and criticises Laxmidhar in front of Mrs. Kuber for breaking off his relationship with Hema. Mrs. Kuber begins to grow suspicious of Captain Rangade but Laxmidhar diverts her thinking. Meanwhile, Naren comes up with an idea and asks Saudamini to call in any of her relative who can testify Captain Rangade being an imposter. Seizing this opportunity, Shaku approaches Tatya and asks him to arrive at the Kuber residence as her relative. Due to the fact that Naren has seen him in the beginning of their theatrical antics, Tatya instructs his shop assistant Madhya (Madhu Apte) to assume his identity and claim that Captain Rangade is not her husband.

The next day, Tatya himself arrives at Naren's house in disguise as Madhya does not make it to his shop on time. He claims to have attended Saudamini's wedding and testifies that Captain Rangade cannot be her husband. In the end, Shaku concludes her arguments and has seemingly succeeded in convincing the Kuber family of Captain Rangade's pretence. However, the tale is twisted as Madhya goes on to arrive at the scene as "Tatya" and he too claims that Captain Rangade is not her husband. At this point, Shaku's cover is blown with the conception of faking her husband's death in hopes to marrying Naren for money.

On this ground, Laxmidhar expels Tatya and Madhya from the house while an emotionally upset Naren rants at Saudamini in a harsh manner. Despite this, Laxmidhar intervenes with Mrs. Kuber and pretends to forgive Saudamini for her misdeeds, before politely handing over all his wealth and power to her with a car as well as a house owned by him in [[Lonavala]] and asks her to surrender Naren to them. Seeing no other way out, Shaku mysteriously accepts Rangade as her husband and agrees to go with him but in the climax, shockingly ends up shooting him down fatally with the resolve to sacrifice herself for all her [[karma]] till now.

In guilt and remorse, Shaku confesses about her true identity before Naren and that she realised after entering the Kubers' house that there is nothing more important than love and affection, which she had developed for him and for the togetherness with the Kuber family. She also profusely thanks the Kubers for giving her the love of a family which life had denied to her and apologises to them for what everything cost them. Therefore, Shaku begs Laxmidhar to have her hanged to death by the police for cheating and even committing the murder of the fake Rangade. However, Laxmidhar amusingly reveals that he had already planted harmless [[ammunition]] in the gun and thus Luktuke turns out to be alive.

Moreover, Laxmidhar also reveals that he had only sent Luktuke to the residence as Captain Rangade and was testing Shaku's love for Naren, since he had already discovered her true identity from Damodar who refused to cheat or lie to the family. Upon learning this, Naren realises his folly and reciprocates Shaku's feelings for him with Laxmidhar and Mrs. Kuber's consent for marriage. At the same time, Hema and Deshmukh also arrive at Laxmidhar's house and Luktuke's cheating is exposed before them. A furious Deshmukh berates Luktuke for his negligence towards work along with Hema as Naren, Shaku, Laxmidhar, Mrs. Kuber and Damodar share a laughter at his embarrassment.

In the parallel plot, Dinkar Luktuke ([[Ashok Saraf]]) is a clerk working for Mr. Kuber's close friend Mr. Gajanan Deshmukh ([[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]]), while he is secretly in love with his employer's daughter Hema ([[Kishori Shahane]]). One day, when Mr. Kuber visits Mr. Deshmukh at his office, he bumps into Luktuke whom he recognizes as the "late Captain Bajirao Rangade" in the photograph. A plan begins to take shape in Mr. Kuber's mind.

== Plot ==
Shaku ([[Supriya Pilgaonkar]]) is a girl orphaned by fate living in poverty with her maternal uncle Damodar (Suhas Bhalekar), who has raised her all by himself as a single relative. She is a talented actress who acts in the dramas taking place in their locality. Shaku's sole dream is to marry a millionaire as according to her, a girl gets only one chance to change her name and condition in life, and that is after her marriage. Damodar works as a servant for the wealthy industrialist Laxmidhar Kuber ([[Nilu Phule]]) and his understanding wife Mrs. Kuber (Shubha Khote) whose son Narendra Kuber, also known as Naren (Sachin Pilgaonkar), has just returned from the US after his graduation. Laxmidhar and Mrs. Kuber throw a grand party at their house for Naren's homecoming, where Shaku accompanies Damodar to assist him in the chores.

While there, Shaku overhears Naren sharing his views about marriage with his friends, when he expresses his desire of marrying only a widow for not having the ability to buy enough time to spend with his wife. Having fallen in love with Naren, Shaku vows to marry only him at any cost after realising that he is the heir to the infinity of wealth at his house. Using her theatrical antics with the help of her costume lender Tatya Malvankar ([[Macchindra Kambli]]), she creates a sequence of events that allows her to enter the Kuber residence. Further, Shaku fools Naren and his parents that she is a homeless widow named "Saudamini" and that she has gone into a state of sorrow since her husband's sad demise.

Therefore, Shaku is quickly accepted by the Kuber family after her pretence of having developed mental shock. Soon, she wins over the hearts of Naren and Mrs. Kuber who ask her to stay for some more time. While seeking refuge in the Kubers' house, Shaku tries to influence Naren by shedding unreal tears in the memory of her deceased husband. This prompts Naren to take Saudamini for outings to help her recover from the loss of her husband. Slowly, Naren realises that he has fallen in love with Saudamini and goes on to propose marriage to her. Feeling that she has finally accomplished her mission, Shaku accepts his marriage proposal after showing some hesitation.

However, Naren faces objection from Laxmidhar who demands information about Saudamini's past. Nevertheless, Shaku lies to the Kubers that her husband was a military officer named "Captain Bajirao Rangade", and that he died after getting hit by a soda water bottle during a riot. When asked for photograph, Tatya provides Shaku with the photograph of an aspiring drama actor ([[Ashok Saraf]]) dressed in a military uniform. Eventually, Laxmidhar agrees for Naren and Saudamini's marriage despite his wish to marry off his son to Hema ([[Kishori Shahane]]), the daughter of his close friend Deshmukh ([[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]]) who is an equally wealthier businessman.

Meanwhile, it is revealed that the aspiring drama actor whose photograph was provided by Tatya is Dinkar Luktuke, a homeless clerk at Deshmukh's office who is secretly having a love affair with Hema. Shortly, things take a turn when Laxmidhar visits Deshmukh's office and surprisingly bumps into Luktuke. Laxmidhar recognizes him from the photograph of Saudamini's late husband and grows suspicious of her true intentions. Wanting to become sure of Saudamini's deception, Laxmidhar instructs Luktuke to perform a mysterious drama at his house in exchange of a well-furnished, four-bedroom plot and 24/7 water supply for his living.

Acting upon Laxmidhar's instructions, Luktuke shockingly poses as "Captain Bajirao Rangade" and enters the Kuber residence as Saudamini's "alive" husband, who has returned to his wife after recovering from a coma. Shaku immediately denies any relation with Captain Rangade and lies that her husband was a left-hander. However, her plan backfires as Luktuke outsmarts her and confesses about being a left-hander in the past. To make matters worse, it turns out that Luktuke was born with six toes on his left foot, while Shaku had fooled the Kuber family with the same identification of her husband.

Eventually, Mrs. Kuber still does not accept Captain Rangade as Saudamini's husband while a distressed Naren faces a dilemma. In last hopes of regaining his relationship with Saudamini, he bribes Captain Rangade and tries to influence him to give her a divorce. However, Luktuke stands firm by citing his undying affection to his wife. Despite this, Hema spots Luktuke with Naren at a restaurant and follows him, therefore learning the truth. After the two come face-to-face, a stunned Luktuke unwillingly refuses to go with Hema, which provokes her into pretending to be in love with Naren to make him jealous.

That night, Luktuke returns home drunk and criticises Laxmidhar in front of Mrs. Kuber for breaking off his relationship with Hema. Mrs. Kuber begins to grow suspicious of Captain Rangade but Laxmidhar diverts her thinking. Meanwhile, Naren comes up with an idea and asks Saudamini to call in any of her relative who can testify Captain Rangade being an imposter. Seizing this opportunity, Shaku approaches Tatya and asks him to arrive at the Kuber residence as her relative. Due to the fact that Naren has seen him in the beginning of their theatrical antics, Tatya instructs his shop assistant Madhya (Madhu Apte) to assume his identity and claim that Captain Rangade is not her husband.

The next day, Tatya himself arrives at Naren's house in disguise as Madhya does not make it to his shop on time. He claims to have attended Saudamini's wedding and testifies that Captain Rangade cannot be her husband. In the end, Shaku concludes her arguments and has seemingly succeeded in convincing the Kuber family of Captain Rangade's pretence. However, the tale is twisted as Madhya goes on to arrive at the scene as "Tatya" and he too claims that Captain Rangade is not her husband. At this point, Shaku's cover is blown with the conception of faking her husband's death in hopes to marrying Naren for money.

On this ground, Laxmidhar expels Tatya and Madhya from the house while an emotionally upset Naren rants at Saudamini in a harsh manner. Despite this, Laxmidhar intervenes with Mrs. Kuber and pretends to forgive Saudamini for her misdeeds, before politely handing over all his wealth and power to her with a car as well as a house owned by him in [[Lonavala]] and asks her to surrender Naren to them. Seeing no other way out, Shaku mysteriously accepts Rangade as her husband and agrees to go with him but in the climax, shockingly ends up shooting him down fatally with the resolve to sacrifice herself for all her [[karma]] till now.

In guilt and remorse, Shaku confesses about her true identity before Naren and that she realised after entering the Kubers' house that there is nothing more important than love and affection, which she had developed for him and for the togetherness with the Kuber family. She also profusely thanks the Kubers for giving her the love of a family which life had denied to her and apologises to them for what everything cost them. Therefore, Shaku begs Laxmidhar to have her hanged to death by the police for cheating and even committing the murder of the fake Rangade. However, Laxmidhar amusingly reveals that he had already planted harmless [[ammunition]] in the gun and thus Luktuke turns out to be alive.

Moreover, Laxmidhar also reveals that he had only sent Luktuke to the residence as Captain Rangade and was testing Shaku's love for Naren, since he had already discovered her true identity from Damodar who refused to cheat or lie to the family. Upon learning this, Naren realises his folly and reciprocates Shaku's feelings for him with Laxmidhar and Mrs. Kuber's consent for marriage. At the same time, Hema and Deshmukh also arrive at Laxmidhar's house and Luktuke's cheating is exposed before them. A furious Deshmukh berates Luktuke for his negligence towards work along with Hema as Naren, Shaku, Laxmidhar, Mrs. Kuber and Damodar share a laughter at his embarrassment.

'''''Tula Pahate Re''''' ({{translation|I Look At You}}) is an Indian [[Marathi language|Marathi]]-language drama television series directed by Girish Mohite and Chandrakant Gaikwad and produced by Aparna Ketkar and Atul Ketkar, that was broadcast on the channel [[Zee Marathi]] from Monday to Saturday at 8:30pm and is now digitally available on [[ZEE5]]. The series stars an [[ensemble cast]] of [[Subodh Bhave]], Gayatri Datar, [[Shilpa Tulaskar]], Umesh Jagtap, Vidya Karanjikar and Ashutosh Gokhale along with Purniema Dey, Mohiniraj Gatne, Gargi Phule, [[Abhidnya Bhave]] and Sandesh Jadhav in supporting roles. The plot focuses on Isha Nimkar (Datar), a chawl-dwelling girl who falls in love with a wealthy businessman Vikrant Saranjame (Bhave) beyond the barrier of age and gets married to him, while unaware about his shocking past and her connection with his first deceased wife Rajnandini (Tulaskar).

== Plot ==
Isha Nimkar (Gayatri Datar) is a sober middle-class girl living in a chawl with her parents. One day, she has to deliver a speech at the "K.T. College" honoring the chief guest Vikrant Saranjame ([[Subodh Bhave]]), a wealthy industrialist in the "Saranjame Group of Industries" who lives with his widowed mother Snehalata a.k.a. Aaisaheb (Vidya Karanjikar), younger brother Jaydeep (Ashutosh Gokhale) and arrogant sister-in-law Soniya (Purniema Dey) in a large mansion in [[Karjat]], [[Maharashtra]]. Due to his fame and greatness, Vikrant has become a dear public figure surrounded by many people, including his close friend Vilas Zende (Umesh Jagtap) who is also his personal assistant.

Also, Isha's father Arun Nimkar (Mohiniraj Gatne) works in one of the stores of "Rajnandini Sarees" which is owned by Vikrant. On his way to the college, Vikrant's bicycle breaks down and thus he shares an auto-rickshaw with Isha when he meets her for the first time. Isha does not recognize Vikrant in the auto-rickshaw and speaks rudely to him for having money to pay, although she pays the bill for him too. Later at the college, Isha is shocked to see Vikrant entering as the chief guest and bursts into tears.

Due to this commotion, she forgets her speech that lists many accomplishments of Vikrant, which leads to all her college-mates teasing her. However, Vikrant defends Isha by advising her and her college-mates to always trust themselves in any situation, and also gains Isha's trust by handing her over a black cheque. Further, Vikrant falls in love with Isha and offers her a job in his company. As time passes, Isha begins to develop feelings for Vikrant too while his secretary Myra Karkhanis ([[Abhidnya Bhave]]) tries to separate them along with Zende due to the fact that she also loves Vikrant.

However, Myra and Zende's each plan backfires and Vikrant invites Isha to his mansion. While there, he reveals her the truth about his deceased wife named "Rajnandini", whom he loved a lot and whose sudden demise had left him much disturbed. Therefore, he named the company of "Rajnandini Sarees" in the memory of his wife. Upon learning this, Isha despises Vikrant for hiding this from her and storms off, but it turns out to be just a prank. Actually, Isha has forgiven Vikrant for respecting her while telling her all this.

Later, Vikrant takes Isha for a helicopter ride and proposes marriage to her mid-air. Impressed with his unique way of proposing, Isha agrees to marry Vikrant but the couple faces opposition from Mr. Nimkar due to their age difference, although Isha's mother Pushpa (Gargi Phule) agrees for their relationship. With support from Zende, Aaisaheb and Pushpa, Vikrant and Isha ultimately manage to convince Mr. Nimkar and have a grand marriage ceremony under Myra and Zende's organisation.

After their marriage, things unexpectedly start changing when the audience sees a dark side of Vikrant and Zende. It is suddenly revealed that Vikrant's late father Dadasaheb had stated in his will that he can never inherit the Saranjame property and that Rajnandini is the real owner of it. Therefore, Vikrant married Isha to use her as a pawn to obtain the Saranjame property. Following his plan, Vikrant tries to pretend that Isha is the reincarnation of Rajnandini so that Aaisaheb and Jaydeep (who are the current owners of the Saranjame property) can easily transfer the Saranjame property to Isha.

After a couple of months, Isha discovers an ongoing fraud in the Saranjame company and the name of the fraudster is revealed to be "Gajendra Patil". Upon learning this, Vikrant and Zende mysteriously make an actor take the blame of being the fraudster and have him arrested by the police. However, Isha goes on to visit the election commission office to enrol Vikrant's name in the voting list, where she is stunned to see the name "Gajendra Patil" with Vikrant's photograph. At the same time, she also shockingly learns from Jaydeep and Soniya that Rajnandini was actually Aaisaheb's stepdaughter and Jaydeep's stepsister, and that Vikrant was the son-in-law of Dadasaheb who made him change his last name to Saranjame.

Having become sure of Vikrant's deception, a devastated Isha meets the ''Jogtin'', a woman asking for alms, and wishes to find the purpose of her life from the Goddess Ambabai. At this point, the beautiful face of a mysterious woman ([[Shilpa Tulaskar]]) is reflected upon Isha from the divine plate of water. Eventually, a confused and heartbroken Isha confronts Vikrant over his true identity and Rajnandini's relationship with Aaisaheb and Jaydeep. However, Vikrant regains Isha's trust by narrating her a fake story of the past involving him and Rajnandini.

Further, Vikrant takes Isha to a private room of him in the Saranjame mansion, where all of Rajnandini's belongings are kept safely by him as souviners along with Dadasaheb's photograph. He goes on to uncover the large photograph of Rajnandini in the room before Isha. Isha is horrified to recognize Rajnandini as the mysterious woman whose beautiful face was reflected upon her from the divine plate of water. Due to the shock, Isha falls unconscious in the room itself and all of Rajnandini's life events miraculously flash past her eyes in her unconsciousness.

The flashback shows that Rajnandini lived happily in the mansion with Aaisaheb, younger Jaydeep and Dadasaheb (Anil Khopkar). One day, her car broke down on her way to an important meeting and thus shared an auto-rickshaw with Gajendra Patil (Vikrant). Gajendra and Zende were childhood friends living in a chawl. Zende is a street-smart boy who could easily fool people while Gajendra was educated but unemployed. Gajendra was going to the same destination for an interview and fell in love with Rajnandini. He gained her trust by faking an ongoing fraud in the company where he got a job after being recommended by Rajnandini.

As time passes, Rajnandini also fell in love with Gajendra, who eventually proposed marriage to her and the two got married despite Dadasaheb's disapproval. After their marriage, Rajnandini rechristened Gajendra as "Vikrant" and recruited him as the owner of the Saranjame company. However, Dadasaheb received all the evidences against Vikrant and disowned the latter through a harsh insult in private before secretly changing his will. An offended Vikrant immediately retaliated by arranging Dadasaheb to be killed in the consumption of inaccurate medicine.

Further, Vikrant also changed Dadasaheb's postmortem reports and secretly held Aaisaheb responsible for his sudden demise. He and Zende also prohibited Dadasaheb's photograph in the office. Despite this, Rajnandini grew suspicious of Vikrant after learning about his new rules and fixed a hidden microphone in his cabin. As a result, Vikrant and Zende's entire plan got recorded in the microphone. Upon receiving this proof, Rajnandini regretted her blind faith in Vikrant and threatened to hand over the proofs to the police. However, Rajnandini was mercilessly thrown off the terrace by the sly Vikrant and met an unfortunate end at the hands of him.

The story catches up to the present where a horrified Isha wakes up from her dream to have a gut feeling that she is indeed the "reincarnation" of Rajnandini who has returned to seek revenge from Vikrant. The next day, while wandering aimlessly, Isha ends up at her maternal home where she does not hesitate to inform her parents about this development. Mr. Nimkar believes her to have some sort of mental illness and consults her a psychiatrist. However, Isha stands firm by citing her undying commitment to the purpose of her life.

That evening, Isha returns to the Saranjame mansion where she hallucinates the image of Rajnandini, who confides in Isha that she is her reincarnation. On this ground, Isha vows to punish Vikrant and Zende for the injustice they have served to the society. Isha goes on to confess about her true identity with Vikrant and Zende's conspiracies to Jaydeep and Aaisaheb, who both fall into an emotional trap and instantly accept her as Rajnandini. The three plan to avenge both Dadasaheb and Rajnandini's deaths by making Vikrant and Zende realise their mistakes.

As part of her mission, Isha cleverly creates a rift between Vikrant and Zende due to the fact that Zende has grown suspicious her true identity and therefore tries to alert Vikrant about it multiple times. However, Vikrant refuses to believe Zende and presumes him to have betrayed him and their friendship. Meanwhile, Isha becomes pregnant with Vikrant's child and considers calling off the mission. Elsewhere, Vikrant does not accept the truth despite Zende's numerous attempts to convince him. Eventually, Vikrant is fed up with Zende's "instigations" against Isha and furiously ends up shooting him down fatally with his gun.

However, Vikrant eventually discovers the truth with the help of the confession about Isha's true identity that Mr. Nimkar had unconsciously made to him during a private conversation between them in the office. A regretful Vikrant laments his mistake of killing his true friend Zende and vows to teach a lesson to all the avengers who are plotting against him. In the meantime, Isha realises that Vikrant can blow her cover on benefit of doubt and decides to fight back with a strong heart, much to Aaisaheb and Jaydeep's gratitude.

The next morning, Isha appears before Vikrant in Rajnandini's clothes and recounts all her life events. She demands an explanation from Vikrant on why he served this injustice to the innocent Rajnandini when she had given him all that he wanted. Seeing no other way out, a brainwashed Vikrant finally admits before Isha, her parents, Aaisaheb, Jaydeep, Soniya and Myra that he did all this only to get rid of the sufferings from poverty which had caused his mother's sad demise. However, he carelessly taunts everyone that they cannot convict him for his crimes for not having any evidence for doing so.

Later that night, Vikrant contacts Isha and asks her to come to the terrace. As Isha heads off, Aaisaheb is tremendously worried that Vikrant might do the same thing with Isha that he did with Rajnandini. On the terrace, Vikrant asks Isha what love means to her, to which, Isha replies that she understood the meaning of love only from him. At the same time, Vikrant also confesses that he still truly loves her despite the fact that she betrayed him and went against him, and that he killed his close friend Zende only out of his immortal love for her.

Despite this, the series has a shocking and tragic climax when out of a sudden, Vikrant unexpectedly jumps off the terrace and meets his death as he is unable to deal with his guilt, causing a lot of devastation to Isha. In the end, Isha bids farewell to Aaisaheb, Jaydeep and Soniya and leaves the Saranjame mansion with her parents for wanting to live her "true-self", Isha Nimkar. The series ends with Isha and her parents having started a catering business from their chawl few months later.

'''''Tula Pahate Re''''' ({{translation|I Look At You}}) is an Indian [[Marathi language|Marathi]]-language drama television series directed by Girish Mohite and Chandrakant Gaikwad and produced by Aparna Ketkar and Atul Ketkar, that was broadcast on the channel [[Zee Marathi]] from Monday to Saturday at 8:30pm and is now digitally available on [[ZEE5]]. The series stars an [[ensemble cast]] of [[Subodh Bhave]], Gayatri Datar, [[Shilpa Tulaskar]], Umesh Jagtap, Vidya Karanjikar and Ashutosh Gokhale along with Purniema Dey, Mohiniraj Gatne, Gargi Phule, [[Abhidnya Bhave]] and Sandesh Jadhav in supporting roles. The plot focuses on Isha Nimkar (Datar), a chawl-dwelling girl who falls in love with a wealthy businessman Vikrant Saranjame (Bhave) beyond the barrier of age and gets married to him, while unaware about his shocking past and her connection with his first deceased wife Rajnandini (Tulaskar).

== Plot ==
=== Past ===
20 years ago, Gajendra Patil ([[Subodh Bhave]]) is shown as a poor orphan living with his roommate Vilas Zende (Umesh Jagtap) in a [[Mumbai]] chawl. One day, as he is rushing to give an interview, he shares his [[Auto rickshaw]] with Rajnandini Saranjame ([[Shilpa Tulaskar]]), the middle-aged daughter of rich businessman Dadasaheb Saranjame (Anil Khopkar) and Snehalata Saranjame aka Aaisaheb (Vidya Karanjikar) who all live in a [[bungalow]] in [[Karjat]], [[Maharashtra]]. As the [[Tire|tyre]] of Rajnandini's [[car]] gets punctured, Gajendra drops her to her destination only to realise that his interview is in the same company. Falling in [[love]] with her due to her richness, he fakes a fraud in his company and wins Rajnandini's [[Trust (social science)|trust]]. The two eventually confess their love for each other and get married. After their marriage, Gajendra begins to live in the Saranjame house with Rajnandini for Dadasaheb's wish. However, Dadasaheb gets all the proofs against him and insults him over obtaining his business. In retaliation, Gajendra unknowingly ends up making him have the wrong [[medicine]], resulting in Dadasaheb's death. He also changes Dadasaheb's [[Autopsy|post-mortem reports]] which makes Aaisaheb think that she is responsible for Dadasaheb's death. Feeling [[Guilt (emotion)|guilty]], she decides to reveal the truth to the police but Gajendra stops her, saying that she will have to go to jail if she does so. Days later, Rajnandini doubts Gajendra and fixes a [[Microphone practice|microphone]] in his office-cabin. She catches Gajendra and Zende red-handed as their plan gets [[Analog recording|recorded]] in the microphone. Upon receiving this proof, Rajnandini threatens to hand over Gajendra and Zende to the police while Aaisaheb still does not know the truth. Feeling helpless, Gajendra unintentionally [[Choking|chokes]] her and [[Murder|pushes her off]] the [[balcony]] out of nowhere, resulting in Rajnandini's unfortunate [[death]]. He also renames himself as Vikrant Saranjame.

=== Present ===
20 years later, Vikrant Saranjame is shown as a successful businessman of the [[company]] living with Aaisaheb and her younger son Jaydeep Saranjame (Ashutosh Gokhale) in [[Karjat]], [[Maharashtra]]. Vilas Zende is shown as his assistant in office. Soon, he somehow meets Isha Nimkar (Gayatri Datar), a poor woman living in a chawl. He hires her as an employee in his company and falls in love with her. The two eventually confess their love for each other and get married after convincing Aaisaheb, Jaydeep, and others. After their marriage, Isha doubts Vikrant and tries to find out the truth. She manages to learn Vikrant's real-name from his old enemy Jalindar. Realising that she is fooled, a distressed Isha confronts Vikrant over his real identity at a [[restaurant]] and storms off. Vikrant narrates a fake story to her in order to regain her trust. He also takes her to a closed room in the Saranjame house where Rajnandini's and [[souvenir]]s are kept safely by him with Dadasaheb's photograph. However, Isha falls unconscious on seeing Rajnandini's photograph over there and her [[dream]] miraculously shows Rajnandini's life-events, including her murder committed by Vikrant. On seeing this dream, Isha also realises that she is indeed the "[[Reincarnation|rebirth]]" of Rajnandini on remembering that she had found the old [[book]] titled ''Tula Pahate Re'' gifted to Rajnandini by Aaisaheb. Isha then sets out to seek revenge from Vikrant and Zende with Aaisaheb and Jaydeep's support. Zende doubts her and tried to reveal her plan to Vikrant who, however, refuses to believe him and secretly shoots him fatally. Finally, a [[Brainwashing|brainwashed]] Vikrant confesses the truth to Isha in front of Aaisaheb, Jaydeep, and others. Vikrant then calls Isha to the balcony and confesses his love for her. However, he shockingly jumps off the balcony and commits [[suicide]] as he is unable to deal with his guilt, leaving Isha devastated. The serial ends with the real names of all the characters being shown to the audience.

'''''Tula Pahate Re''''' ({{translation|I Look At You}}) is an Indian [[Marathi language|Marathi]]-language drama television series directed by Girish Mohite and Chandrakant Gaikwad and produced by Aparna Ketkar and Atul Ketkar, that was broadcast on the channel [[Zee Marathi]] from Monday to Saturday at 8:30pm and is now digitally available on [[ZEE5]]. The series stars an [[ensemble cast]] of [[Subodh Bhave]], Gayatri Datar, [[Shilpa Tulaskar]], Umesh Jagtap, Vidya Karanjikar and Ashutosh Gokhale along with Purniema Dey, Mohiniraj Gatne, Gargi Phule, [[Abhidnya Bhave]] and Sandesh Jadhav in supporting roles. The plot focuses on Isha Nimkar (Datar), a chawl-dwelling girl who falls in love with a wealthy businessman Vikrant Saranjame (Bhave) beyond the barrier of age and gets married to him, while unaware about his shocking past and her connection with his first deceased wife Rajnandini (Tulaskar).

== Plot ==
=== Past ===
20 years ago, Gajendra Patil ([[Subodh Bhave]]) is shown as a poor orphan living with his roommate Vilas Zende (Umesh Jagtap) in a [[Mumbai]] chawl. One day, as he is rushing to give an interview, he shares his [[Auto rickshaw]] with Rajnandini Saranjame ([[Shilpa Tulaskar]]), the middle-aged daughter of rich businessman Dadasaheb Saranjame (Anil Khopkar) and Snehalata Saranjame aka Aaisaheb (Vidya Karanjikar) who all live in a [[bungalow]] in [[Karjat]], [[Maharashtra]]. As the [[Tire|tyre]] of Rajnandini's [[car]] gets punctured, Gajendra drops her to her destination only to realise that his interview is in the same company. Falling in [[love]] with her due to her richness, he fakes a fraud in his company and wins Rajnandini's [[Trust (social science)|trust]]. The two eventually confess their love for each other and get married. After their marriage, Gajendra begins to live in the Saranjame house with Rajnandini for Dadasaheb's wish. However, Dadasaheb gets all the proofs against him and insults him over obtaining his business. In retaliation, Gajendra unknowingly ends up making him have the wrong [[medicine]], resulting in Dadasaheb's death. He also changes Dadasaheb's [[Autopsy|post-mortem reports]] which makes Aaisaheb think that she is responsible for Dadasaheb's death. Feeling [[Guilt (emotion)|guilty]], she decides to reveal the truth to the police but Gajendra stops her, saying that she will have to go to jail if she does so. Days later, Rajnandini doubts Gajendra and fixes a [[Microphone practice|microphone]] in his office-cabin. She catches Gajendra and Zende red-handed as their plan gets [[Analog recording|recorded]] in the microphone. Upon receiving this proof, Rajnandini threatens to hand over Gajendra and Zende to the police while Aaisaheb still does not know the truth. Feeling helpless, Gajendra unintentionally [[Choking|chokes]] her and [[Murder|pushes her off]] the [[balcony]] out of nowhere, resulting in Rajnandini's unfortunate [[death]]. He also renames himself as Vikrant Saranjame.

=== Present ===
20 years later, Vikrant Saranjame is shown as a successful businessman of the [[company]] living with Aaisaheb and her younger son Jaydeep Saranjame (Ashutosh Gokhale) in [[Karjat]], [[Maharashtra]]. Vilas Zende is shown as his assistant in office. Soon, he somehow meets Isha Nimkar (Gayatri Datar), a poor woman living in a chawl. He hires her as an employee in his company and falls in love with her. The two eventually confess their love for each other and get married after convincing Aaisaheb, Jaydeep, and others. After their marriage, Isha doubts Vikrant and tries to find out the truth. She manages to learn Vikrant's real-name from his old enemy Jalindar. Realising that she is fooled, a distressed Isha confronts Vikrant over his real identity at a [[restaurant]] and storms off. Vikrant narrates a fake story to her in order to regain her trust. He also takes her to a closed room in the Saranjame house where Rajnandini's and [[souvenir]]s are kept safely by him with Dadasaheb's photograph. However, Isha falls unconscious on seeing Rajnandini's photograph over there and her [[dream]] miraculously shows Rajnandini's life-events, including her murder committed by Vikrant. On seeing this dream, Isha also realises that she is indeed the "[[Reincarnation|rebirth]]" of Rajnandini on remembering that she had found the old [[book]] titled ''Tula Pahate Re'' gifted to Rajnandini by Aaisaheb. Isha then sets out to seek revenge from Vikrant and Zende with Aaisaheb and Jaydeep's support. Zende doubts her and tried to reveal her plan to Vikrant who, however, refuses to believe him and secretly shoots him fatally. Finally, a [[Brainwashing|brainwashed]] Vikrant confesses the truth to Isha in front of Aaisaheb, Jaydeep, and others. Vikrant then calls Isha to the balcony and confesses his love for her. However, he shockingly jumps off the balcony and commits [[suicide]] as he is unable to deal with his guilt, leaving Isha devastated. The serial ends with the real names of all the characters being shown to the audience.

'''''Tula Pahate Re''''' ({{translation|I Look At You}}) is an Indian [[Marathi language|Marathi]]-language drama television series directed by Girish Mohite that was broadcast on the channel [[Zee Marathi]] from Monday to Saturday at 8:30pm and is now digitally available on [[ZEE5]]. The series stars an [[ensemble cast]] of [[Subodh Bhave]], Gayatri Datar, [[Shilpa Tulaskar]], Umesh Jagtap, Vidya Karanjikar and Ashutosh Gokhale along with Purniema Dey, Mohiniraj Gatne, Gargi Phule Thatte, [[Abhidnya Bhave]] Sandesh Jadhav in supporting roles. The plot focuses on a chawl-dwelling girl who falls in love with a wealthy businessman beyond the barrier of age and ends up marrying him, while unaware about his shocking past and her linked connection with his first deceased wife.

== Plot ==
=== Past ===
20 years ago, Gajendra Patil ([[Subodh Bhave]]) is shown as a poor orphan living with his roommate Vilas Zende (Umesh Jagtap) in a [[Mumbai]] chawl. One day, as he is rushing to give an interview, he shares his [[Auto rickshaw]] with Rajnandini Saranjame ([[Shilpa Tulaskar]]), the middle-aged daughter of rich businessman Dadasaheb Saranjame (Anil Khopkar) and Snehalata Saranjame aka Aaisaheb (Vidya Karanjikar) who all live in a [[bungalow]] in [[Karjat]], [[Maharashtra]]. As the [[Tire|tyre]] of Rajnandini's [[car]] gets punctured, Gajendra drops her to her destination only to realise that his interview is in the same company. Falling in [[love]] with her due to her richness, he fakes a fraud in his company and wins Rajnandini's [[Trust (social science)|trust]]. The two eventually confess their love for each other and get married. After their marriage, Gajendra begins to live in the Saranjame house with Rajnandini for Dadasaheb's wish. However, Dadasaheb gets all the proofs against him and insults him over obtaining his business. In retaliation, Gajendra unknowingly ends up making him have the wrong [[medicine]], resulting in Dadasaheb's death. He also changes Dadasaheb's [[Autopsy|post-mortem reports]] which makes Aaisaheb think that she is responsible for Dadasaheb's death. Feeling [[Guilt (emotion)|guilty]], she decides to reveal the truth to the police but Gajendra stops her, saying that she will have to go to jail if she does so. Days later, Rajnandini doubts Gajendra and fixes a [[Microphone practice|microphone]] in his office-cabin. She catches Gajendra and Zende red-handed as their plan gets [[Analog recording|recorded]] in the microphone. Upon receiving this proof, Rajnandini threatens to hand over Gajendra and Zende to the police while Aaisaheb still does not know the truth. Feeling helpless, Gajendra unintentionally [[Choking|chokes]] her and [[Murder|pushes her off]] the [[balcony]] out of nowhere, resulting in Rajnandini's unfortunate [[death]]. He also renames himself as Vikrant Saranjame.

=== Present ===
20 years later, Vikrant Saranjame is shown as a successful businessman of the [[company]] living with Aaisaheb and her younger son Jaydeep Saranjame (Ashutosh Gokhale) in [[Karjat]], [[Maharashtra]]. Vilas Zende is shown as his assistant in office. Soon, he somehow meets Isha Nimkar (Gayatri Datar), a poor woman living in a chawl. He hires her as an employee in his company and falls in love with her. The two eventually confess their love for each other and get married after convincing Aaisaheb, Jaydeep, and others. After their marriage, Isha doubts Vikrant and tries to find out the truth. She manages to learn Vikrant's real-name from his old enemy Jalindar. Realising that she is fooled, a distressed Isha confronts Vikrant over his real identity at a [[restaurant]] and storms off. Vikrant narrates a fake story to her in order to regain her trust. He also takes her to a closed room in the Saranjame house where Rajnandini's and [[souvenir]]s are kept safely by him with Dadasaheb's photograph. However, Isha falls unconscious on seeing Rajnandini's photograph over there and her [[dream]] miraculously shows Rajnandini's life-events, including her murder committed by Vikrant. On seeing this dream, Isha also realises that she is indeed the "[[Reincarnation|rebirth]]" of Rajnandini on remembering that she had found the old [[book]] titled ''Tula Pahate Re'' gifted to Rajnandini by Aaisaheb. Isha then sets out to seek revenge from Vikrant and Zende with Aaisaheb and Jaydeep's support. Zende doubts her and tried to reveal her plan to Vikrant who, however, refuses to believe him and secretly shoots him fatally. Finally, a [[Brainwashing|brainwashed]] Vikrant confesses the truth to Isha in front of Aaisaheb, Jaydeep, and others. Vikrant then calls Isha to the balcony and confesses his love for her. However, he shockingly jumps off the balcony and commits [[suicide]] as he is unable to deal with his guilt, leaving Isha devastated. The serial ends with the real names of all the characters being shown to the audience.

'''''Maza Pati Karodpati''''' ({{translation|My Husband Is A Millionaire}}) is a 1988 Indian [[Marathi language|Marathi]]-language comedy-drama film directed by Sachin Pilgaonkar and produced by Chelaram Bhatia and Lalchand Bhatia. The film stars an [[ensemble cast]] of Sachin Pilgaonkar, [[Supriya Pilgaonkar]], [[Ashok Saraf]], [[Kishori Shahane]], [[Nilu Phule]], Shubha Khote, Suhas Bhalekar, [[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]] and [[Macchindra Kambli]].

== Synopsis ==
Shaku ([[Supriya Pilgaonkar]]), a sober but stubborn orphan, lives with her maternal uncle Damodar (Suhas Bhalekar), a bachelor, in a slum. Her sole dream is to marry a millionaire. According to her, a girl gets only one chance to change her name and condition in life, and that is after her marriage. Damodar works as a cook for Mr. Laxmidhar Kuber ([[Nilu Phule]]), a renowned industrialist, whose son Naren (Sachin Pilgaonkar) has just returned from abroad after completing his studies. At a party thrown by Mr. Kuber for his son's homecoming, Naren tells his friends his views on marriage. His only condition is that he will marry a young widow, which is overheard by Shaku.

With the help of Damodar's friend Tatya Malvankar ([[Macchindra Kambli]]), Shaku poses as a young widow named Saudamini and enters the Kuber residence. Using her theatrical antics, she soon wins over the hearts of Mrs. Kuber (Shubha Khote) and Naren, who ask her to live in the house. As days go by, Naren falls in love with her but Mr. Kuber asks for Saudamini's late husband's photograph. Again with the help of Tatya Malvankar, Shaku shows them the photograph of a man dressed as a military officer and tells his name as Captain Bajirao Rangade.

In the parallel plot, Luktuke is a clerk working for Mr. Kuber's close friend Mr. Deshmukh ([[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]]), while he is secretly in love with his employer's daughter Hema ([[Kishori Shahane]]). One day, when Mr. Kuber visits Mr. Deshmukh at his office, he bumps into Luktuke whom he recognizes as the "late Captain Bajirao Rangade" in the photograph. A plan begins to take shape in Mr. Kuber's mind.

== Plot ==
Shaku ([[Supriya Pilgaonkar]]) is a girl orphaned by fate living in poverty with her maternal uncle Damodar (Suhas Bhalekar), who has raised her all by himself as a single relative. She is a talented actress who acts in the dramas taking place in their locality. Shaku's sole dream is to marry a millionaire as according to her, a girl gets only one chance to change her name and condition in life, and that is after her marriage. Damodar works as a servant for the wealthy industrialist Laxmidhar Kuber ([[Nilu Phule]]) and his understanding wife Mrs. Kuber (Shubha Khote) whose son Narendra Kuber, also known as Naren (Sachin Pilgaonkar), has just returned from the US after his graduation. Laxmidhar and Mrs. Kuber throw a grand party at their house for Naren's homecoming, where Shaku accompanies Damodar to assist him in the chores.

While there, Shaku overhears Naren sharing his views about marriage with his friends, when he expresses his desire of marrying only a widow for not having the ability to buy enough time to spend with his wife. Having fallen in love with Naren, Shaku vows to marry only him at any cost after realising that he is the heir to the infinity of wealth at his house. Using her theatrical antics with the help of her costume lender Tatya Malvankar ([[Macchindra Kambli]]), she creates a sequence of events that allows her to enter the Kuber residence. Further, Shaku fools Naren and his parents that she is a homeless widow named "Saudamini" and that she has gone into a state of sorrow since her husband's sad demise.

Therefore, Shaku is quickly accepted by the Kuber family after her pretence of having developed mental shock. Soon, she wins over the hearts of Naren and Mrs. Kuber who ask her to stay for some more time. While seeking refuge in the Kubers' house, Shaku tries to influence Naren by shedding unreal tears in the memory of her deceased husband. This prompts Naren to take Saudamini for outings to help her recover from the loss of her husband. Slowly, Naren realises that he has fallen in love with Saudamini and goes on to propose marriage to her. Feeling that she has finally accomplished her mission, Shaku accepts his marriage proposal after showing some hesitation.

However, Naren faces objection from Laxmidhar who demands information about Saudamini's past. Nevertheless, Shaku lies to the Kubers that her husband was a military officer named "Captain Bajirao Rangade", and that he died after getting hit by a soda water bottle during a riot. When asked for photograph, Tatya provides Shaku with the photograph of an aspiring drama actor ([[Ashok Saraf]]) dressed in a military uniform. Eventually, Laxmidhar agrees for Naren and Saudamini's marriage despite his wish to marry off his son to Hema ([[Kishori Shahane]]), the daughter of his close friend Deshmukh ([[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]]) who is an equally wealthier businessman.

Meanwhile, it is revealed that the aspiring drama actor whose photograph was provided by Tatya is Dinkar Luktuke, a homeless clerk at Deshmukh's office who is secretly having a love affair with Hema. Shortly, things take a turn when Laxmidhar visits Deshmukh's office and surprisingly bumps into Luktuke. Laxmidhar recognizes him from the photograph of Saudamini's late husband and grows suspicious of her true intentions. Wanting to become sure of Saudamini's deception, Laxmidhar instructs Luktuke to perform a mysterious drama at his house in exchange of a well-furnished, four-bedroom plot and 24/7 water supply for his living.

Acting upon Laxmidhar's instructions, Luktuke shockingly poses as "Captain Bajirao Rangade" and enters the Kuber residence as Saudamini's "alive" husband, who has returned to his wife after recovering from a coma. Shaku immediately denies any relation with Captain Rangade and lies that her husband was a left-hander. However, her plan backfires as Luktuke outsmarts her and confesses about being a left-hander in the past. To make matters worse, it turns out that Luktuke was born with six toes on his left foot, while Shaku had fooled the Kuber family with the same identification of her husband.

Eventually, Mrs. Kuber still does not accept Captain Rangade as Saudamini's husband while a distressed Naren faces a dilemma. In last hopes of regaining his relationship with Saudamini, he bribes Captain Rangade and tries to influence him to give her a divorce. However, Luktuke stands firm by citing his undying affection to his wife. Despite this, Hema spots Luktuke with Naren at a restaurant and follows him, therefore learning the truth. After the two come face-to-face, a stunned Luktuke unwillingly refuses to go with Hema, which provokes her into pretending to be in love with Naren to make him jealous.

That night, Luktuke returns home drunk and criticises Laxmidhar in front of Mrs. Kuber for breaking off his relationship with Hema. Mrs. Kuber begins to grow suspicious of Captain Rangade but Laxmidhar diverts her thinking. Meanwhile, Naren comes up with an idea and asks Saudamini to call in any of her relative who can testify Captain Rangade being an imposter. Seizing this opportunity, Shaku approaches Tatya and asks him to arrive at the Kuber residence as her relative. Due to the fact that Naren has seen him in the beginning of their theatrical antics, Tatya instructs his shop assistant Madhya (Madhu Apte) to assume his identity and claim that Captain Rangade is not her husband.

The next day, Tatya himself arrives at Naren's house in disguise as Madhya does not make it to his shop on time. He claims to have attended Saudamini's wedding and testifies that Captain Rangade cannot be her husband. In the end, Shaku concludes her arguments and has seemingly succeeded in convincing the Kuber family of Captain Rangade's pretence. However, the tale is twisted as Madhya goes on to arrive at the scene as "Tatya" and he too claims that Captain Rangade is not her husband. At this point, Shaku's cover is blown with the conception of faking her husband's death in hopes to marrying Naren for money.

On this ground, Laxmidhar expels Tatya and Madhya from the house while an emotionally upset Naren rants at Saudamini in a harsh manner. Despite this, Laxmidhar intervenes with Mrs. Kuber and pretends to forgive Saudamini for her misdeeds, before politely handing over all his wealth and power to her with a car as well as a house owned by him in [[Lonavala]] and asks her to surrender Naren to them. Seeing no other way out, Shaku mysteriously accepts Rangade as her husband and agrees to go with him but in the climax, shockingly ends up shooting him down fatally with the resolve to sacrifice herself for all her [[karma]] till now.

In guilt and remorse, Shaku confesses about her true identity before Naren and that she realised after entering the Kubers' house that there is nothing more important than love and affection, which she had developed for him and for the togetherness with the Kuber family. She also profusely thanks the Kubers for giving her the love of a family which life had denied to her and apologises to them for what everything cost them. Therefore, Shaku begs Laxmidhar to have her hanged to death by the police for cheating and even committing the murder of the fake Rangade. However, Laxmidhar amusingly reveals that he had already planted harmless [[ammunition]] in the gun and thus Luktuke turns out to be alive.

Moreover, Laxmidhar also reveals that he had only sent Luktuke to the residence as Captain Rangade and was testing Shaku's love for Naren, since he had already discovered her true identity from Damodar who refused to cheat or lie to the family. Upon learning this, Naren realises his folly and reciprocates Shaku's feelings for him with Laxmidhar and Mrs. Kuber's consent for marriage. At the same time, Hema and Deshmukh also arrive at Laxmidhar's house and Luktuke's cheating is exposed before them. A furious Deshmukh berates Luktuke for his negligence towards work along with Hema as Naren, Shaku, Laxmidhar, Mrs. Kuber and Damodar share a laughter at his embarrassment.

'''''Aggabai Sasubai''''' ({{translation|Oh Mine Mother-In-Law}}) is an Indian [[Marathi language|Marathi]]-language drama television series directed by Ajay Mayekar and produced by Sunil Bhosle, that was broadcast on the channel [[Zee Marathi]] and is now digitally available on [[ZEE5]]. The series stars Girish Oak, [[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Saraf]], Tejashree Pradhan, Ashutosh Patki and Ravi Patwardhan along with Bhakti Ratnaparkhi, Sanjeevani Sathe, Arun Mohre, Rajshri Potdar and Bhagyesh Patil in supporting roles. Patwardhan's role was replaced by [[Mohan Joshi]] in January 2021 due to the latter's demise in December 2020.

== Synopsis ==
''Aggabai Sasubai'' is the story of Asavari Kulkarni ([[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Saraf]]), a widow who selflessly takes care of her family and faces all life issues with peace. Her husband has passed away a couple of decades ago and therefore, she raised her son Soham (Ashutosh Patki) as a single parent and has also taken care of her elderly authoritative father-in-law Aajoba (Ravi Patwardhan).

However, Asavari always pays less attention to herself while loving everyone else. After the marriage of Soham, the show focuses on how Asavari's daughter-in-law Shubhra (Tejashree Pradhan), who is close to her mother-in-law, strives to bring a little joy in Asavari's life and decides to get her remarried to her own favourite chef Abhijeet Raje (Girish Oak).

== Plot ==
Shubhra (Tejashree Pradhan) arrives at Soham's (Ashutosh Patki) residence to inform his family members about their relationship. As Asavari ([[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Saraf]]) enjoys chef Abhijeet Raje's (Girish Oak) cookery show, Shubhra approaches her to inform about her and Soham's decision to marry. Aajoba (Ravi Patwardhan) is disappointed with Soham and Shubhra's register marriage and thus refuses to attend it. After Soham and Shubhra get married, the family celebrate the marriage party in Abhijeet's restaurant. While there, Abhijeet notices Asavari and falls in love with her. In order to get closer to her, he sends her the dessert ''Créme Brûlèe'' prepared by him through Shubhra as Asavari had refused to eat in Aajoba's absence. After entering Soham's house, Shubhra serves the ''Créme Brûlèe'' sent by Abhijeet to Asavari, who then gives the remarks about it to Abhijeet over a phone call.

The next morning, Shubhra finds the old camera of Soham's late father in the store room which makes Asavari emotional. Unbeknownst to them, Aajoba, with the help of Soham, uploads the photograph of the camera on the internet in order to sell it off. Later, the Kulkarni family visits a temple to perform a post-wedding ritual of Soham and Shubhra. Just then, Abhijeet also reaches there but Aajoba misunderstands him to be a thief and lashes out at him. However, Shubhra calms him down and takes him home while Abhijeet comes across the photograph of the camera uploaded by Aajoba on the internet.

Furthermore, Abhijeet arrives at Asavari's house to buy the camera while she is busy watching his cookery show on the TV. Abhijeet's unexpected arrival baffles Asavari who accidentally mixes rice in the coffee meant for him. Later, Aajoba returns home from his evening walk and sells the camera off to Abhijeet. Nevertheless, Abhijeet leaves the camera at Asavari's house on seeing her attachment to it. Meanwhile, Aajoba hurries to deposit the cheque given by Abhijeet in the bank, and refuses to return it even after learning that Abhijeet has not taken the camera with him.

Despite this, Shubhra manages to convince Aajoba to keep the camera by lying to him that she sold off the ancestral jewellery of the Kulkarni family given to her by him. Further, Asavari goes to Abhijeet's restaurant to return him the cheque. Later, Abhijeet sets out to accompany Asavari home and they enjoy a candid conversation on their way back. The two also have tea from a street-side stall in the rain. As Asavari gets late to return home, Soham orders dinner from outside which causes Aajoba to have a stomachache.

The next day, Aajoba goes for a morning walk but Asavari and Shubhra begin to get worried when he does not return home. Aajoba takes Asavari's test with the help of his close friend and neighbour Karkhanis Kaka (Arun Mohre). Later, Abhijeet gives Asavari an idea to win her father-in-law's heart which eventually works out to be successful. Karkhanis Kaka then invites the Kulkarni family to his house for lunch. Shubhra insists Asavari to wear a nice saree but Soham expresses his dislike to it, following which, Shubhra teaches him a lesson.

Later, everyone go to the Karkhanis residence for the lunch and while watching Abhijeet's cookery show, Karkhanis Kaka's arrogant daughter-in-law Pradnya's (Sanjeevani Sathe) comments about Abhijeet indicate Shubhra to forsee Asavari's fortune inflicted by him. In the following episode, Shubhra orders a microwave for Soham and Pradnya taunts Asavari while going to the market. Aajoba creates a scene on being unable to heat food in the microwave. Elsewhere, Abhijeet bumps into Asavari at the marketplace and buys a pumpkin for her before inviting her to his restaurant with her family.

After learning this, Shubhra convinces Aajoba to accompany them to Abhijeet's restaurant for lunch. On Shubhra's prodding, Asavari prepares ''Gharge'' for Abhijeet with the pumpkin he had bought for her. Later, Aajoba creates a scene on seeing Abhijeet at the restaurant but Shubhra pacifies him. After tasting the ''Gharges'' brought by Asavari, Abhijeet insists her to teach him to prepare them. Soham, Shubhra and Aajoba enjoy desserts after lunch. Later, Aajoba blames his illness on the food at Abhijeet's restaurant. Meanwhile, Abhijeet decides to go to Asavari's house to learn the recipe.

Upon arriving, Abhijeet tries to appease an angry Aajoba. Karkhanis Kaka takes Aajoba to his house. Due to Soham's objection, Asavari refuses to teach Abhijeet the recipe of ''Gharge''. Pradnya lies to Abhijeet about having prepared the ''Gharge'' for him. The incident at Asavari's house makes Abhijeet restless. Pradnya takes Abhijeet's phone number from Asavari and invites him to her house to learn the recipe of ''Gharge''. Taking advantage of this, she invites the neighbouring women as well. After all, Pradnya fails to teach Abhijeet the recipe, but a restless Asavari intervenes at her house and teaches Abhijeet to prepare ''Gharge''.

After tasting the ''Gharge'', everyone begins to praise Asavari. Abhijeet expresses his gratitude to Asavari and invites her to his restaurant for the return gift. Pradnya gets jealous on seeing Asavari being praised. Later, an uninvited Pradnya goes to Abhijeet's restaurant but is turned away by Mandodari Parab (Bhakti Ratnaparkhi), also known as Maddy, who is the manager of Abhijeet's restaurant and also his friend. Pradnya informs Aajoba about Asavari being at Abhijeet's restaurant. Soon after, a furious Aajoba rebukes Asavari for meeting Abhijeet. In a fit of rage, he throws the camera of Soham's late father out of the house. After Abhijeet's intervention, a crying Asavari asks him to stay away from her.

A couple of days later, Shubhra goes to [[Lonavala]] for her meeting while Asavari worries about water logging in the city due to heavy rains. After a conversation with Pradnya, Asavari gets worried about Soham being stuck in a water-logged area. Later, Abhijeet tries to calm down Asavari over a phone call as she continues to panic on not being able to contact Soham. Abhijeet then arrives at Asavari's house and finds out about Soham being at his friend Akshay's (Nikhil Jhope) house. Further, Asavari prepares dinner for Abhijeet.

=== One Month Later ===
Abhijeet's joy knows no bounds when he learns that Asavari has specially come to meet him. While chatting, the two admit that they are friends. Asavari eats the chillies offered by Abhijeet playfully. Abhijeet declares it to be a Friendship Day at his restaurant. Constant glimpses of Abhijeet on the TV irks Aajoba, while Asavari keeps getting hiccups. Abhijeet then asks Asavari to come to his restaurant urgently. Later, Maddy ties the friendship band given to her by Abhijeet to Asavari. Sudden arrival of Soham's friends annoys Aajoba.

While Abhijeet and Asavari go to the vegetable market on Abhijeet's motorbike, Shubhra learns from Akshay has Soham has quit his job and insists him to inform everyone about this at home. Abhijeet sets out to meet a property owner. Further, Abhijeet comes to Asavari's house with a good news and Asavari prepares a special type of rice for him. The next day, Asavari takes the "''Naralachya Wadya''" for Abhijeet at his restaurant. However, stunned by the unexpected words said by him, she storms off.

On reaching home, Asavari hugs Soham and begins to cry. Meanwhile, everyone at the restaurant get worried on seeing Abhijeet stunned. Shubhra gets worried on reading the letter received from Soham's office and quizzes him. Later, Pradnya eavesdrops on Soham and Shubhra's conversation with Soham's employer. Much to Abhijeet's resentment, Asavari rebukes him when he contacts her. Abhijeet then tells Shubhra that he wants to apologise to Asavari and she assures him that she will help him. Asavari gets shocked on learning from Pradnya that Soham has lost his job and questions Shubhra for hiding this from her.

The next day, Soham informs Abhijeet that he and Asavari are planning to meet him. Asavari's last moment refusal to talk to Abhijeet regarding Soham's recommendation for a job angers Soham. Later, Soham goes to meet Abhijeet alone and tells him that Asavari is unwell. That evening, Shubhra suspects Soham's involvement behind Abhijeet's unexpected arrival at their home. Asavari gets angry at Abhijeet, who leaves after declaring that he will never step into their house until Asavari invites him. Shubhra peacefully answers all of Asavari's questions about Abhijeet. After returning home, Soham berates Asavari on learning that Abhijeet has left.

Later, Soham tells Abhijeet about losing his job and requests him to talk to his employer about it. Asavari gets angry on learning that Abhijeet has come to Pradnya's house to learn the recipes. While Soham meets Abhijeet and thanks him, Abhijeet gives him an advice. Asavari and Shubhra get delighted on knowing that Soham has got his job back. Soon after, Abhijeet's absence in his cookery show startles Asavari. She visualises Abhijeet everywhere while trying to stay awake at night. Later, Asavari forgives an apologising Abhijeet over a phone call and is sent a sweet gift by him the next day.

After some days, Maddy visits Asavari's house to give her a cheque and contacts Abhijeet to inform him about Asavari's birthday. While on her way to the market, every passer-by gives Asavari a rose which surprises her. Later, much to her delight, Abhijeet meets Asavari and sings for her. However, Abhijeet is left stunned when Asavari reveals that it is not her birthday. Abhijeet and Shubhra accept the challenge of finding out Asavari's birth date. Later, Abhijeet contacts Asavari and pretends to be a social worker needing her birth date but in vain. Eventually, Abhijeet visits Asavari's house and successfully finds out her birth date by using a mathematics trick.

One month later, Shubhra contacts Abhijeet and teases him. When Abhijeet comes to Asavari's house with Maddy, Shubhra lies to him that Asavari has gone to the market barefoot. Later, she bumps into a barefooted Abhijeet while he looks for Asavari in the market. Shubhra then makes him confess his love for Asavari, following which, Abhijeet pours his heart out before her. Shubhra refuses to help Abhijeet as he tries to win Asavari and her family over. On reaching home, Asavari applies ointment on Abhijeet's feet as they are scarred due to the heat.

On Abhijeet and Asavari's birthday, Abhijeet's surprise birthday wish conveyed at night through a video delights Asavari. Asavari then takes a birthday gift for Abhijeet, but Pradnya cunningly swaps the gift. When Abhijeet comes to pick up the Kulkarni family, Aajoba teases him on seeing his clothes. On their way to the party, the tyre of Abhijeet and Asavari's taxi gets punctured, so the two ride a bicycle to reach a venue. Meanwhile, Pradnya executes her cunning plan by swapping the birthday cake meant for Abhijeet and Asavari.

Further, Aajoba rebukes Asavari as soon as she and Abhijeet reach the venue. Shubhra tricks Pradnya into confessing her misconduct and allows Abhijeet to learn the truth about his real birthday gift from Asavari. Aajoba's words regarding Asavari's life go on to upset Abhijeet. Shubhra uses her wit on seeing the swapped birthday cake and teaches Pradnya a lesson. Further, Maddy brings the original birthday cake meant for Abhijeet and Asavari. After the birthday celebration, Abhijeet gifts Asavari a mirror and pours his heart out to her.

A couple of days later, the special treat arranged by Abhijeet at his restaurant delights Asavari. However, Soham contacts her and asks her to return home urgently for having fallen off of his scooter. Further, Abhijeet asks Asavari to come down the building and proposes marriage to her. Later, Shubhra consoles a crying Asavari and a stunned Abhijeet. Eavesdropping on Abhijeet and Asavari, Pradnya deliberately tries to instigate Soham against them. Asavari gets disheartened as Soham and Aajoba berate her.

The next day, Shubhra tries to talk to Asavari about Abhijeet but in vain. Abhijeet's behaviour at his restaurant worries Maddy and the other employees. Later, Soham goes to meet Abhijeet at the restaurant but is reluctantly evaded by him. Shubhra then gives an advice to Abhijeet when he comes to meet Asavari. Pradnya tries to instigate Soham against Asavari once again. Soham goes on to meet Abhijeet at the restaurant to show him his business proposal. While there, he finds out something inside Abhijeet's wallet which makes him despise him.

After returning home, a furious Soham destroys the thinks kept safely by Asavari as souviners of Abhijeet. Plagued by Abhijeet's memories, Asavari accidentally contacts him to order groceries instead of a grocery shop. Realising that Asavari truly loves him, Abhijeet arrives at her house with the groceries ordered by her. Soham tries to confront Abhijeet over his and Asavari's relationship but in vain. Later, Abhijeet bumps into Asavari down the building where he expresses his feelings before her and gives her a promise.

Further, Soham behaves rudely with Abhijeet when he comes home with Asavari and Shubhra. Abhijeet then talks to Shubhra about his investment in Soham's business. Shubhra reprimands Soham for his rude behaviour with Abhijeet. Later, Soham asks Aajoba and Karkhanis Kaka to gather because he wants to tell them something important. Just as he is about to reveal Abhijeet's love for Asavari, Soham receives a phone call from Akshay who gives him some problematic information. Due to this new development, Soham reveals the good news of Abhijeet's partnership in his business, which leaves everyone exceedingly delighted and Asavari is grateful towards Abhijeet.

Shortly, things take a drastic turn when Soham, according to his plan, informs Aajoba that Asavari wishes to get remarried to Abhijeet and instigates him against them both. Asavari gets terrified as Aajoba furiously confronts her over her relationship with Abhijeet. Abhijeet's confession of love further infuriates Aajoba who then berates Asavari. Later, Asavari apologising to Aajoba delights a sly Soham. Aajoba throws away the ''Kadha'' prepared by Asavari and declares the decision he has taken about her. When Soham comes to console Asavari, his duplicity and snide remarks shock her.

On the occasion of ''Makar Sankranti'', Shubhra gives a promise to Asavari before Abhijeet comes to their house. After listening to Aajoba's decision, Abhijeet decides to part ways with Asavari forever. An emotionally upset Shubhra urges Aajoba to stop Abhijeet. After all, Abhijeet expresses his feelings before Abhijeet and others and takes an important decision regarding Abhijeet and Asavari's relationship. However, a furious Soham questions him. Later, Abhijeet gives a surprise to Asavari and proposes marriage to her. On the wedding day, Asavari and Aajoba get sentimental while leaving from the house. Taking advantage of this, Soham plans to hinder the wedding. Asavari suddenly decides to cancel the wedding. Later, Abhijeet clears the misunderstanding and gets married to Asavari.

'''''Aggabai Sasubai''''' ({{translation|Oh Mine Mother-In-Law}}) is an Indian [[Marathi language|Marathi]]-language drama television series directed by Ajay Mayekar and produced by Sunil Bhosle, that was broadcast on the channel [[Zee Marathi]] and is now digitally available on [[ZEE5]]. The series stars Girish Oak, [[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Saraf]], Tejashree Pradhan, Ashutosh Patki and Ravi Patwardhan along with Bhakti Ratnaparkhi, Sanjeevani Sathe, Arun Mohre, Rajshri Potdar and Bhagyesh Patil in supporting roles. Patwardhan's role was replaced by [[Mohan Joshi]] in January 2021 due to the latter's demise in December 2020.

== Synopsis ==
''Aggabai Sasubai'' is the story of Asavari Kulkarni ([[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Saraf]]), a widow who selflessly takes care of her family and faces all life issues with peace. Her husband has passed away a couple of decades ago and therefore, she raised her son Soham (Ashutosh Patki) as a single parent and has also taken care of her elderly authoritative father-in-law Aajoba (Ravi Patwardhan).

However, Asavari always pays less attention to herself while loving everyone else. After the marriage of Soham, the show focuses on how Asavari's daughter-in-law Shubhra (Tejashree Pradhan), who is close to her mother-in-law, strives to bring a little joy in Asavari's life and decides to get her remarried to her own favourite chef Abhijeet Raje (Girish Oak).

== Plot ==
Shubhra (Tejashree Pradhan) arrives at Soham's (Ashutosh Patki) residence to inform his family members about their relationship. As Asavari ([[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Saraf]]) enjoys chef Abhijeet Raje's (Girish Oak) cookery show, Shubhra approaches her to inform about her and Soham's decision to marry. Aajoba (Ravi Patwardhan) is disappointed with Soham and Shubhra's register marriage and thus refuses to attend it. After Soham and Shubhra get married, the family celebrate the marriage party in Abhijeet's restaurant. While there, Abhijeet meets Asavari and sends the dessert ''Créme Brûlèe'' prepared by him for Asavari through Shubhra as she had refused to eat in Aajoba's absence. After entering Soham's house, Shubhra serves the ''Créme Brûlèe'' sent by Abhijeet to Asavari, who then gives the remarks about it to Abhijeet over a phone call.

The next morning, Shubhra finds the old camera of Soham's late father in the store room which makes Asavari emotional. Unbeknownst to them, Aajoba, with the help of Soham, uploads the photograph of the camera on the internet in order to sell it off. Later, the Kulkarni family visits a temple to perform a post-wedding ritual of Soham and Shubhra. Just then, Abhijeet also reaches there but Aajoba misunderstands him to be a thief and lashes out at him. However, Shubhra calms him down and takes him home while Abhijeet comes across the photograph of the camera uploaded by Aajoba on the internet.

Furthermore, Abhijeet arrives at Asavari's house to buy the camera while she is busy watching his cookery show on the TV. Abhijeet's unexpected arrival baffles Asavari who accidentally mixes rice in the coffee meant for him. Later, Aajoba returns home from his evening walk and sells the camera off to Abhijeet. Nevertheless, Abhijeet leaves the camera at Asavari's house on seeing her attachment to it. Meanwhile, Aajoba hurries to deposit the cheque given by Abhijeet in the bank, and refuses to return it even after learning that Abhijeet has not taken the camera with him.

Despite this, Shubhra manages to convince Aajoba to keep the camera by lying to him that she sold off the ancestral jewellery of the Kulkarni family given to her by him. Further, Asavari goes to Abhijeet's restaurant to return him the cheque. Later, Abhijeet sets out to accompany Asavari home and they enjoy a candid conversation on their way back. The two also have tea from a street-side stall in the rain. As Asavari gets late to return home, Soham orders dinner from outside which causes Aajoba to have a stomachache.

The next day, Aajoba goes for a morning walk but Asavari and Shubhra begin to get worried when he does not return home. Aajoba takes Asavari's test with the help of his close friend and neighbour Karkhanis Kaka (Arun Mohre). Later, Abhijeet gives Asavari an idea to win her father-in-law's heart which eventually works out to be successful. Karkhanis Kaka then invites the Kulkarni family to his house for lunch. Shubhra insists Asavari to wear a nice saree but Soham expresses his dislike to it, following which, Shubhra teaches him a lesson.

Later, everyone go to the Karkhanis residence for the lunch and while watching Abhijeet's cookery show, Karkhanis Kaka's arrogant daughter-in-law Pradnya's (Sanjeevani Sathe) comments about Abhijeet indicate Shubhra to forsee Asavari's fortune inflicted by him. In the following episode, Shubhra orders a microwave for Soham and Pradnya taunts Asavari while going to the market. Aajoba creates a scene on being unable to heat food in the microwave. Elsewhere, Abhijeet bumps into Asavari at the marketplace and buys a pumpkin for her before inviting her to his restaurant with her family.

After learning this, Shubhra convinces Aajoba to accompany them to Abhijeet's restaurant for lunch. On Shubhra's prodding, Asavari prepares ''Gharge'' for Abhijeet with the pumpkin he had bought for her. Later, Aajoba creates a scene on seeing Abhijeet at the restaurant but Shubhra pacifies him. After tasting the ''Gharges'' brought by Asavari, Abhijeet insists her to teach him to prepare them. Soham, Shubhra and Aajoba enjoy desserts after lunch. Later, Aajoba blames his illness on the food at Abhijeet's restaurant. Meanwhile, Abhijeet decides to go to Asavari's house to learn the recipe.

Upon arriving, Abhijeet tries to appease an angry Aajoba. Karkhanis Kaka takes Aajoba to his house. Due to Soham's objection, Asavari refuses to teach Abhijeet the recipe of ''Gharge''. Pradnya lies to Abhijeet about having prepared the ''Gharge'' for him. The incident at Asavari's house makes Abhijeet restless. Pradnya takes Abhijeet's phone number from Asavari and invites him to her house to learn the recipe of ''Gharge''. Taking advantage of this, she invites the neighbouring women as well. After all, Pradnya fails to teach Abhijeet the recipe, but a restless Asavari intervenes at her house and teaches Abhijeet to prepare ''Gharge''.

After tasting the ''Gharge'', everyone begins to praise Asavari. Abhijeet expresses his gratitude to Asavari and invites her to his restaurant for the return gift. Pradnya gets jealous on seeing Asavari being praised. Later, an uninvited Pradnya goes to Abhijeet's restaurant but is turned away by Mandodari Parab (Bhakti Ratnaparkhi), also known as Maddy, who is the manager of Abhijeet's restaurant and also his friend. Pradnya informs Aajoba about Asavari being at Abhijeet's restaurant. Soon after, a furious Aajoba rebukes Asavari for meeting Abhijeet. In a fit of rage, he throws the camera of Soham's late father out of the house. After Abhijeet's intervention, a crying Asavari asks him to stay away from her.

A couple of days later, Shubhra goes to [[Lonavala]] for her meeting while Asavari worries about water logging in the city due to heavy rains. After a conversation with Pradnya, Asavari gets worried about Soham being stuck in a water-logged area. Later, Abhijeet tries to calm down Asavari over a phone call as she continues to panic on not being able to contact Soham. Abhijeet then arrives at Asavari's house and finds out about Soham being at his friend Akshay's (Nikhil Jhope) house. Further, Asavari prepares dinner for Abhijeet.

=== One Month Later ===
Abhijeet's joy knows no bounds when he learns that Asavari has specially come to meet him. While chatting, the two admit that they are friends. Asavari eats the chillies offered by Abhijeet playfully. Abhijeet declares it to be a Friendship Day at his restaurant. Constant glimpses of Abhijeet on the TV irks Aajoba, while Asavari keeps getting hiccups. Abhijeet then asks Asavari to come to his restaurant urgently. Later, Maddy ties the friendship band given to her by Abhijeet to Asavari. Sudden arrival of Soham's friends annoys Aajoba.

While Abhijeet and Asavari go to the vegetable market on Abhijeet's motorbike, Shubhra learns from Akshay has Soham has quit his job and insists him to inform everyone about this at home. Abhijeet sets out to meet a property owner. Further, Abhijeet comes to Asavari's house with a good news and Asavari prepares a special type of rice for him. The next day, Asavari takes the "''Naralachya Wadya''" for Abhijeet at his restaurant. However, stunned by the unexpected words said by him, she storms off.

On reaching home, Asavari hugs Soham and begins to cry. Meanwhile, everyone at the restaurant get worried on seeing Abhijeet stunned. Shubhra gets worried on reading the letter received from Soham's office and quizzes him. Later, Pradnya eavesdrops on Soham and Shubhra's conversation with Soham's employer. Much to Abhijeet's resentment, Asavari rebukes him when he contacts her. Abhijeet then tells Shubhra that he wants to apologise to Asavari and she assures him that she will help him. Asavari gets shocked on learning from Pradnya that Soham has lost his job and questions Shubhra for hiding this from her.

The next day, Soham informs Abhijeet that he and Asavari are planning to meet him. Asavari's last moment refusal to talk to Abhijeet regarding Soham's recommendation for a job angers Soham. Later, Soham goes to meet Abhijeet alone and tells him that Asavari is unwell. That evening, Shubhra suspects Soham's involvement behind Abhijeet's unexpected arrival at their home. Asavari gets angry at Abhijeet, who leaves after declaring that he will never step into their house until Asavari invites him. Shubhra peacefully answers all of Asavari's questions about Abhijeet. After returning home, Soham berates Asavari on learning that Abhijeet has left.

Later, Soham tells Abhijeet about losing his job and requests him to talk to his employer about it. Asavari gets angry on learning that Abhijeet has come to Pradnya's house to learn the recipes. While Soham meets Abhijeet and thanks him, Abhijeet gives him an advice. Asavari and Shubhra get delighted on knowing that Soham has got his job back. Soon after, Abhijeet's absence in his cookery show startles Asavari. She visualises Abhijeet everywhere while trying to stay awake at night. Later, Asavari forgives an apologising Abhijeet over a phone call and is sent a sweet gift by him the next day.

After some days, Maddy visits Asavari's house to give her a cheque and contacts Abhijeet to inform him about Asavari's birthday. While on her way to the market, every passer-by gives Asavari a rose which surprises her. Later, much to her delight, Abhijeet meets Asavari and sings for her. However, Abhijeet is left stunned when Asavari reveals that it is not her birthday. Abhijeet and Shubhra accept the challenge of finding out Asavari's birth date. Later, Abhijeet contacts Asavari and pretends to be a social worker needing her birth date but in vain. Eventually, Abhijeet visits Asavari's house and successfully finds out her birth date by using a mathematics trick.

One month later, Shubhra contacts Abhijeet and teases him. When Abhijeet comes to Asavari's house with Maddy, Shubhra lies to him that Asavari has gone to the market barefoot. Later, she bumps into a barefooted Abhijeet while he looks for Asavari in the market. Shubhra then makes him confess his love for Asavari, following which, Abhijeet pours his heart out before her. Shubhra refuses to help Abhijeet as he tries to win Asavari and her family over. On reaching home, Asavari applies ointment on Abhijeet's feet as they are scarred due to the heat.

On Abhijeet and Asavari's birthday, Abhijeet's surprise birthday wish conveyed at night through a video delights Asavari. Asavari then takes a birthday gift for Abhijeet, but Pradnya cunningly swaps the gift. When Abhijeet comes to pick up the Kulkarni family, Aajoba teases him on seeing his clothes. On their way to the party, the tyre of Abhijeet and Asavari's taxi gets punctured, so the two ride a bicycle to reach a venue. Meanwhile, Pradnya executes her cunning plan by swapping the birthday cake meant for Abhijeet and Asavari.

Further, Aajoba rebukes Asavari as soon as she and Abhijeet reach the venue. Shubhra tricks Pradnya into confessing her misconduct and allows Abhijeet to learn the truth about his real birthday gift from Asavari. Aajoba's words regarding Asavari's life go on to upset Abhijeet. Shubhra uses her wit on seeing the swapped birthday cake and teaches Pradnya a lesson. Further, Maddy brings the original birthday cake meant for Abhijeet and Asavari. After the birthday celebration, Abhijeet gifts Asavari a mirror and pours his heart out to her.

A couple of days later, the special treat arranged by Abhijeet at his restaurant delights Asavari. However, Soham contacts her and asks her to return home urgently for having fallen off of his scooter. Further, Abhijeet asks Asavari to come down the building and proposes marriage to her. Later, Shubhra consoles a crying Asavari and a stunned Abhijeet. Eavesdropping on Abhijeet and Asavari, Pradnya deliberately tries to instigate Soham against them. Asavari gets disheartened as Soham and Aajoba berate her.

The next day, Shubhra tries to talk to Asavari about Abhijeet but in vain. Abhijeet's behaviour at his restaurant worries Maddy and the other employees. Later, Soham goes to meet Abhijeet at the restaurant but is reluctantly evaded by him. Shubhra then gives an advice to Abhijeet when he comes to meet Asavari. Pradnya tries to instigate Soham against Asavari once again. Soham goes on to meet Abhijeet at the restaurant to show him his business proposal. While there, he finds out something inside Abhijeet's wallet which makes him despise him.

After returning home, a furious Soham destroys the thinks kept safely by Asavari as souviners of Abhijeet. Plagued by Abhijeet's memories, Asavari accidentally contacts him to order groceries instead of a grocery shop. Realising that Asavari truly loves him, Abhijeet arrives at her house with the groceries ordered by her. Soham tries to confront Abhijeet over his and Asavari's relationship but in vain. Later, Abhijeet bumps into Asavari down the building where he expresses his feelings before her and gives her a promise.

Further, Soham behaves rudely with Abhijeet when he comes home with Asavari and Shubhra. Abhijeet then talks to Shubhra about his investment in Soham's business. Shubhra reprimands Soham for his rude behaviour with Abhijeet. Later, Soham asks Aajoba and Karkhanis Kaka to gather because he wants to tell them something important. Just as he is about to reveal Abhijeet's love for Asavari, Soham receives a phone call from Akshay who gives him some problematic information. Due to this new development, Soham reveals the good news of Abhijeet's partnership in his business, which leaves everyone exceedingly delighted and Asavari is grateful towards Abhijeet.

'''''Aggabai Sasubai''''' ({{translation|Oh Mine Mother-In-Law}}) is an Indian [[Marathi language|Marathi]]-language drama television series directed by Ajay Mayekar and produced by Sunil Bhosle, that was broadcast on the channel [[Zee Marathi]] and is now digitally available on [[ZEE5]]. The series stars Girish Oak, [[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Saraf]], Tejashree Pradhan, Ashutosh Patki and Ravi Patwardhan along with Bhakti Ratnaparkhi, Sanjeevani Sathe, Arun Mohre, Rajshri Potdar and Bhagyesh Patil in supporting roles. Patwardhan's role was replaced by [[Mohan Joshi]] in January 2021 due to the latter's demise in December 2020.

== Synopsis ==
''Aggabai Sasubai'' is the story of Asavari Kulkarni ([[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Saraf]]), a widow who selflessly takes care of her family and faces all life issues with peace. Her husband has passed away a couple of decades ago and therefore, she raised her son Soham (Ashutosh Patki) as a single parent and has also taken care of her elderly authoritative father-in-law Aajoba (Ravi Patwardhan).

However, Asavari always pays less attention to herself while loving everyone else. After the marriage of Soham, the show focuses on how Asavari's daughter-in-law Shubhra (Tejashree Pradhan), who is close to her mother-in-law, strives to bring a little joy in Asavari's life and decides to get her remarried to her own favourite chef Abhijeet Raje (Girish Oak).

== Plot ==
In the beginning of the series, Shubhra (Tejashree Pradhan) arrives at Soham's (Ashutosh Patki) residence to inform his family members about their relationship. As Asavari ([[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Saraf]]) enjoys chef Abhijeet Raje's (Girish Oak) cookery show, Shubhra approaches her to inform about her and Soham's decision to marry. Aajoba (Ravi Patwardhan) is disappointed with Soham and Shubhra's register marriage and thus refuses to attend it. After Soham and Shubhra get married, the family celebrate the marriage party in Abhijeet's restaurant. While there, Abhijeet notices Asavari falls in love with her. In order to get closer to her, he sends the dessert ''Créme Brûlèe'' prepared by him for Asavari through Shubhra as she had refused to eat in Aajoba's absence. After entering Soham's house, Shubhra serves the ''Créme Brûlèe'' sent by Abhijeet to Asavari, who then gives the remarks about it to Abhijeet over a phone call.

The next morning, Shubhra finds the old camera of Soham's late father in the store room which makes Asavari emotional. Unbeknownst to them, Aajoba, with the help of Soham, uploads the photograph of the camera on the internet in order to sell it off. Later, the Kulkarni family visits a temple to perform a post-wedding ritual of Soham and Shubhra. Just then, Abhijeet also reaches there but Aajoba misunderstands him to be a thief and lashes out at him. However, Shubhra calms him down and takes him home while Abhijeet comes across the photograph of the camera uploaded by Aajoba on the internet.

Furthermore, Abhijeet arrives at Asavari's house to buy the camera while she is busy watching his cookery show on the TV. Abhijeet's unexpected arrival baffles Asavari who accidentally mixes rice in the coffee meant for him. Later, Aajoba returns home from his evening walk and sells the camera off to Abhijeet. Nevertheless, Abhijeet leaves the camera at Asavari's house on seeing her attachment to it. Meanwhile, Aajoba hurries to deposit the cheque given by Abhijeet in the bank, and refuses to return it even after learning that Abhijeet has not taken the camera with him.

Despite this, Shubhra manages to convince Aajoba to keep the camera by lying to him that she sold off the ancestral jewellery of the Kulkarni family given to her by him. Further, Asavari goes to Abhijeet's restaurant to return him the cheque. Later, Abhijeet sets out to accompany Asavari home and they enjoy a candid conversation on their way back. The two also have tea from a street-side stall in the rain. As Asavari gets late to return home, Soham orders dinner from outside which causes Aajoba to have a stomachache.

The next day, Aajoba goes for a morning walk but Asavari and Shubhra begin to get worried when he does not return home. Aajoba takes Asavari's test with the help of his close friend and neighbour Karkhanis Kaka (Arun Mohre). Later, Abhijeet gives Asavari an idea to win her father-in-law's heart which eventually works out to be successful. Karkhanis Kaka then invites the Kulkarni family to his house for lunch. Shubhra insists Asavari to wear a nice saree but Soham expresses his dislike to it, following which, Shubhra teaches him a lesson.

Later, everyone go to the Karkhanis residence for the lunch and while watching Abhijeet's cookery show, Karkhanis Kaka's arrogant daughter-in-law Pradnya's (Sanjeevani Sathe) comments about Abhijeet indicate Shubhra to forsee Asavari's fortune inflicted by him. In the following episode, Shubhra orders a microwave for Soham and Pradnya taunts Asavari while going to the market. Aajoba creates a scene on being unable to heat food in the microwave. Elsewhere, Abhijeet bumps into Asavari at the marketplace and buys a pumpkin for her before inviting her to his restaurant with her family.

After learning this, Shubhra convinces Aajoba to accompany them to Abhijeet's restaurant for lunch. On Shubhra's prodding, Asavari prepares ''Gharge'' for Abhijeet with the pumpkin he had bought for her. Later, Aajoba creates a scene on seeing Abhijeet at the restaurant but Shubhra pacifies him. After tasting the ''Gharges'' brought by Asavari, Abhijeet insists her to teach him to prepare them. Soham, Shubhra and Aajoba enjoy desserts after lunch. Later, Aajoba blames his illness on the food at Abhijeet's restaurant. Meanwhile, Abhijeet decides to go to Asavari's house to learn the recipe.

Upon arriving, Abhijeet tries to appease an angry Aajoba. Karkhanis Kaka takes Aajoba to his house. Due to Soham's objection, Asavari refuses to teach Abhijeet the recipe of ''Gharge''. Pradnya lies to Abhijeet about having prepared the ''Gharge'' for him. The incident at Asavari's house makes Abhijeet restless. Pradnya takes Abhijeet's phone number from Asavari and invites him to her house to learn the recipe of ''Gharge''. Taking advantage of this, she invites the neighbouring women as well. After all, Pradnya fails to teach Abhijeet the recipe, but a restless Asavari intervenes at her house and teaches Abhijeet to prepare ''Gharge''.

After tasting the ''Gharge'', everyone begins to praise Asavari. Abhijeet expresses his gratitude to Asavari and invites her to his restaurant for the return gift. Pradnya gets jealous on seeing Asavari being praised. Later, an uninvited Pradnya goes to Abhijeet's restaurant but is turned away by Mandodari Parab (Bhakti Ratnaparkhi), also known as Maddy, who is the manager of Abhijeet's restaurant and also his friend. Pradnya informs Aajoba about Asavari being at Abhijeet's restaurant. Soon after, a furious Aajoba rebukes Asavari for meeting Abhijeet. In a fit of rage, he throws the camera of Soham's late father out of the house. After Abhijeet's intervention, a crying Asavari asks him to stay away from her.

A couple of days later, Shubhra goes to [[Lonavala]] for her meeting while Asavari worries about water logging in the city due to heavy rains. After a conversation with Pradnya, Asavari gets worried about Soham being stuck in a water-logged area. Later, Abhijeet tries to calm down Asavari over a phone call as she continues to panic on not being able to contact Soham. Abhijeet then arrives at Asavari's house and finds out about Soham being at his friend Akshay's (Nikhil Jhope) house. Further, Asavari prepares dinner for Abhijeet.

=== One Month Later ===
Abhijeet's joy knows no bounds when he learns that Asavari has specially come to meet him. While chatting, the two admit that they are friends. Asavari eats the chillies offered by Abhijeet playfully. Abhijeet declares it to be a Friendship Day at his restaurant. Constant glimpses of Abhijeet on the TV irks Aajoba, while Asavari keeps getting hiccups. Abhijeet then asks Asavari to come to his restaurant urgently. Later, Maddy ties the friendship band given to her by Abhijeet to Asavari. Sudden arrival of Soham's friends annoys Aajoba.

While Abhijeet and Asavari go to the vegetable market on Abhijeet's motorbike, Shubhra learns from Akshay has Soham has quit his job and insists him to inform everyone about this at home. Abhijeet sets out to meet a property owner. Further, Abhijeet comes to Asavari's house with a good news and Asavari prepares a special type of rice for him. The next day, Asavari takes the "''Naralachya Wadya''" for Abhijeet at his restaurant. However, stunned by the unexpected words said by him, she storms off.

On reaching home, Asavari hugs Soham and begins to cry. Meanwhile, everyone at the restaurant get worried on seeing Abhijeet stunned. Shubhra gets worried on reading the letter received from Soham's office and quizzes him. Later, Pradnya eavesdrops on Soham and Shubhra's conversation with Soham's employer. Much to Abhijeet's resentment, Asavari rebukes him when he contacts her. Abhijeet then tells Shubhra that he wants to apologise to Asavari and she assures him that she will help him. Asavari gets shocked on learning from Pradnya that Soham has lost his job and questions Shubhra for hiding this from her.

The next day, Soham informs Abhijeet that he and Asavari are planning to meet him. Asavari's last moment refusal to talk to Abhijeet regarding Soham's recommendation for a job angers Soham. Later, Soham goes to meet Abhijeet alone and tells him that Asavari is unwell. That evening, Shubhra suspects Soham's involvement behind Abhijeet's unexpected arrival at their home. Asavari gets angry at Abhijeet, who leaves after declaring that he will never step into their house until Asavari invites him. Shubhra peacefully answers all of Asavari's questions about Abhijeet. After returning home, Soham berates Asavari on learning that Abhijeet has left.

Later, Soham tells Abhijeet about losing his job and requests him to talk to his employer about it. Asavari gets angry on learning that Abhijeet has come to Pradnya's house to learn the recipes. While Soham meets Abhijeet and thanks him, Abhijeet gives him an advice. Asavari and Shubhra get delighted on knowing that Soham has got his job back. Soon after, Abhijeet's absence in his cookery show startles Asavari. She visualises Abhijeet everywhere while trying to stay awake at night. Later, Asavari forgives an apologising Abhijeet over a phone call and is sent a sweet gift by him the next day.

After some days, Maddy visits Asavari's house to give her a cheque and contacts Abhijeet to inform him about Asavari's birthday. While on her way to the market, every passer-by gives Asavari a rose which surprises her. Later, much to her delight, Abhijeet meets Asavari and sings for her. However, Abhijeet is left stunned when Asavari reveals that it is not her birthday. Abhijeet and Shubhra accept the challenge of finding out Asavari's birth date. Later, Abhijeet contacts Asavari and pretends to be a social worker needing her birth date but in vain. Eventually, Abhijeet visits Asavari's house and successfully finds out her birth date by using a mathematics trick.

One month later, Shubhra contacts Abhijeet and teases him. When Abhijeet comes to Asavari's house with Maddy, Shubhra lies to him that Asavari has gone to the market barefoot. Later, she bumps into a barefooted Abhijeet while he looks for Asavari in the market. Shubhra then makes him confess his love for Asavari, following which, Abhijeet pours his heart out before her. Shubhra refuses to help Abhijeet as he tries to win Asavari and her family over. On reaching home, Asavari applies ointment on Abhijeet's feet as they are scarred due to the heat.

On Abhijeet and Asavari's birthday, Abhijeet's surprise birthday wish conveyed at night through a video delights Asavari. Asavari then takes a birthday gift for Abhijeet, but Pradnya cunningly swaps the gift. When Abhijeet comes to pick up the Kulkarni family, Aajoba teases him on seeing his clothes. On their way to the party, the tyre of Abhijeet and Asavari's taxi gets punctured, so the two ride a bicycle to reach a venue. Meanwhile, Pradnya executes her cunning plan by swapping the birthday cake meant for Abhijeet and Asavari.

Further, Aajoba rebukes Asavari as soon as she and Abhijeet reach the venue. Shubhra tricks Pradnya into confessing her misconduct and allows Abhijeet to learn the truth about his real birthday gift from Asavari. Aajoba's words regarding Asavari's life go on to upset Abhijeet. Shubhra uses her wit on seeing the swapped birthday cake and teaches Pradnya a lesson. Further, Maddy brings the original birthday cake meant for Abhijeet and Asavari. After the birthday celebration, Abhijeet gifts Asavari a mirror and pours his heart out to her.

A couple of days later, the special treat arranged by Abhijeet at his restaurant delights Asavari. However, Soham contacts her and asks her to return home urgently for having fallen off of his scooter. Further, Abhijeet asks Asavari to come down the building and proposes marriage to her. Later, Shubhra consoles a crying Asavari and a stunned Abhijeet. Eavesdropping on Abhijeet and Asavari, Pradnya deliberately tries to instigate Soham against them. Asavari gets disheartened as Soham and Aajoba berate her.

The next day, Shubhra tries to talk to Asavari about Abhijeet but in vain. Abhijeet's behaviour at his restaurant worries Maddy and the other employees. Later, Soham goes to meet Abhijeet at the restaurant but is reluctantly evaded by him. Shubhra then gives an advice to Abhijeet when he comes to meet Asavari. Pradnya tries to instigate Soham against Asavari once again. Soham goes on to meet Abhijeet at the restaurant to show him his business proposal. While there, he finds out something inside Abhijeet's wallet which makes him despise him.

After returning home, a furious Soham destroys the thinks kept safely by Asavari as souviners of Abhijeet. Plagued by Abhijeet's memories, Asavari accidentally contacts him to order groceries instead of a grocery shop. Realising that Asavari truly loves him, Abhijeet arrives at her house with the groceries ordered by her. Soham tries to confront Abhijeet over his and Asavari's relationship but in vain. Later, Abhijeet bumps into Asavari down the building where he expresses his feelings before her and gives her a promise.

Further, Soham behaves rudely with Abhijeet when he comes home with Asavari and Shubhra. Abhijeet then talks to Shubhra about his investment in Soham's business. Shubhra reprimands Soham for his rude behaviour with Abhijeet. Later, Soham asks Aajoba and Karkhanis Kaka to gather because he wants to tell them something important. Just as he is about to reveal Abhijeet's love for Asavari, Soham receives a phone call from Akshay who gives him some problematic information. Due to this new development, Soham reveals the good news of Abhijeet's partnership in his business, which leaves everyone exceedingly delighted and Asavari is grateful towards Abhijeet.

'''''Aggabai Sasubai''''' ({{translation|Oh Mine Mother-In-Law}}) is an Indian [[Marathi language|Marathi]]-language drama television series directed by Ajay Mayekar and produced by Sunil Bhosle, that was broadcast on the channel [[Zee Marathi]] and is now digitally available on [[ZEE5]]. The series stars Girish Oak, [[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Saraf]], Tejashree Pradhan, Ashutosh Patki and Ravi Patwardhan along with Bhakti Ratnaparkhi, Sanjeevani Sathe, Arun Mohre, Rajshri Potdar and Bhagyesh Patil in supporting roles. Patwardhan's role was replaced by [[Mohan Joshi]] in January 2021 due to the latter's demise in December 2020.

== Synopsis ==
''Aggabai Sasubai'' is the story of Asavari Kulkarni ([[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Saraf]]), a widow who selflessly takes care of her family and faces all life issues with peace. Her husband has passed away a couple of decades ago and therefore, she raised her son Soham (Ashutosh Patki) as a single parent and has also taken care of her elderly authoritative father-in-law Aajoba (Ravi Patwardhan).

However, Asavari always pays less attention to herself while loving everyone else. After the marriage of Soham, the show focuses on how Asavari's daughter-in-law Shubhra (Tejashree Pradhan), who is close to her mother-in-law, strives to bring a little joy in Asavari's life and decides to get her remarried to her own favourite chef Abhijeet Raje (Girish Oak).

== Plot ==
In the beginning of the series, Shubhra (Tejashree Pradhan) arrives at Soham's (Ashutosh Patki) residence to inform his family members about their relationship. As Asavari ([[Nivedita Joshi-Saraf|Nivedita Saraf]]) enjoys chef Abhijeet Raje's (Girish Oak) cookery show, Shubhra approaches her to inform about her and Soham's decision to marry. Aajoba (Ravi Patwardhan) is disappointed with Soham and Shubhra's register marriage and thus refuses to attend it. After Soham and Shubhra get married, the family celebrate the marriage party in Abhijeet's restaurant. While there, Abhijeet notices Asavari falls in love with her. In order to get closer to her, he sends the dessert ''Créme Brûlèe'' prepared by him for Asavari through Shubhra as she had refused to eat in Aajoba's absence. After entering Soham's house, Shubhra serves the ''Créme Brûlèe'' sent by Abhijeet to Asavari, who then gives the remarks about it to Abhijeet over a phone call.

The next morning, Shubhra finds the old camera of Soham's late father in the store room which makes Asavari emotional. Unbeknownst to them, Aajoba, with the help of Soham, uploads the photograph of the camera on the internet in order to sell it off. Later, the Kulkarni family visits a temple to perform a post-wedding ritual of Soham and Shubhra. Just then, Abhijeet also reaches there but Aajoba misunderstands him to be a thief and lashes out at him. However, Shubhra calms him down and takes him home while Abhijeet comes across the photograph of the camera uploaded by Aajoba on the internet.

Furthermore, Abhijeet arrives at Asavari's house to buy the camera while she is busy watching his cookery show on the TV. Abhijeet's unexpected arrival baffles Asavari who accidentally mixes rice in the coffee meant for him. Later, Aajoba returns home from his evening walk and sells the camera off to Abhijeet. Nevertheless, Abhijeet leaves the camera at Asavari's house on seeing her attachment to it. Meanwhile, Aajoba hurries to deposit the cheque given by Abhijeet in the bank, and refuses to return it even after learning that Abhijeet has not taken the camera with him.

Despite this, Shubhra manages to convince Aajoba to keep the camera by lying to him that she sold off the ancestral jewellery of the Kulkarni family given to her by him. Further, Asavari goes to Abhijeet's restaurant to return him the cheque. Later, Abhijeet sets out to accompany Asavari home and they enjoy a candid conversation on their way back. The two also have tea from a street-side stall in the rain. As Asavari gets late to return home, Soham orders dinner from outside which causes Aajoba to have a stomachache.

The next day, Aajoba goes for a morning walk but Asavari and Shubhra begin to get worried when he does not return home. Aajoba takes Asavari's test with the help of his close friend and neighbour Karkhanis Kaka (Arun Mohre). Later, Abhijeet gives Asavari an idea to win her father-in-law's heart which eventually works out to be successful. Karkhanis Kaka then invites the Kulkarni family to his house for lunch. Shubhra insists Asavari to wear a nice saree but Soham expresses his dislike to it, following which, Shubhra teaches him a lesson.

Later, everyone go to the Karkhanis residence for the lunch and while watching Abhijeet's cookery show, Karkhanis Kaka's arrogant daughter-in-law Pradnya's (Sanjeevani Sathe) comments about Abhijeet indicate Shubhra to forsee Asavari's fortune inflicted by him. In the following episode, Shubhra orders a microwave for Soham and Pradnya taunts Asavari while going to the market. Aajoba creates a scene on being unable to heat food in the microwave. Elsewhere, Abhijeet bumps into Asavari at the marketplace and buys a pumpkin for her before inviting her to his restaurant with her family.

After learning this, Shubhra convinces Aajoba to accompany them to Abhijeet's restaurant for lunch. On Shubhra's prodding, Asavari prepares ''Gharge'' for Abhijeet with the pumpkin he had bought for her. Later, Aajoba creates a scene on seeing Abhijeet at the restaurant but Shubhra pacifies him. After tasting the ''Gharges'' brought by Asavari, Abhijeet insists her to teach him to prepare them. Soham, Shubhra and Aajoba enjoy desserts after lunch. Later, Aajoba blames his illness on the food at Abhijeet's restaurant. Meanwhile, Abhijeet decides to go to Asavari's house to learn the recipe.

Upon arriving, Abhijeet tries to appease an angry Aajoba. Karkhanis Kaka takes Aajoba to his house. Due to Soham's objection, Asavari refuses to teach Abhijeet the recipe of ''Gharge''. Pradnya lies to Abhijeet about having prepared the ''Gharge'' for him. The incident at Asavari's house makes Abhijeet restless. Pradnya takes Abhijeet's phone number from Asavari and invites him to her house to learn the recipe of ''Gharge''. Taking advantage of this, she invites the neighbouring women as well. After all, Pradnya fails to teach Abhijeet the recipe, but a restless Asavari intervenes at her house and teaches Abhijeet to prepare ''Gharge''.

After tasting the ''Gharge'', everyone begins to praise Asavari. Abhijeet expresses his gratitude to Asavari and invites her to his restaurant for the return gift. Pradnya gets jealous on seeing Asavari being praised. Later, an uninvited Pradnya goes to Abhijeet's restaurant but is turned away by Mandodari Parab (Bhakti Ratnaparkhi), also known as Maddy, who is the manager of Abhijeet's restaurant and also his friend. Pradnya informs Aajoba about Asavari being at Abhijeet's restaurant. Soon after, a furious Aajoba rebukes Asavari for meeting Abhijeet. In a fit of rage, he throws the camera of Soham's late father out of the house. After Abhijeet's intervention, a crying Asavari asks him to stay away from her.

A couple of days later, Shubhra goes to [[Lonavala]] for her meeting while Asavari worries about water logging in the city due to heavy rains. After a conversation with Pradnya, Asavari gets worried about Soham being stuck in a water-logged area. Later, Abhijeet tries to calm down Asavari over a phone call as she continues to panic on not being able to contact Soham. Abhijeet then arrives at Asavari's house and finds out about Soham being at his friend Akshay's (Nikhil Jhope) house. Further, Asavari prepares dinner for Abhijeet.

=== One Month Later ===
Abhijeet's joy knows no bounds when he learns that Asavari has specially come to meet him. While chatting, the two admit that they are friends. Asavari eats the chillies offered by Abhijeet playfully. Abhijeet declares it to be a Friendship Day at his restaurant. Constant glimpses of Abhijeet on the TV irks Aajoba, while Asavari keeps getting hiccups. Abhijeet then asks Asavari to come to his restaurant urgently. Later, Maddy ties the friendship band given to her by Abhijeet to Asavari. Sudden arrival of Soham's friends annoys Aajoba.

While Abhijeet and Asavari go to the vegetable market on Abhijeet's motorbike, Shubhra learns from Akshay has Soham has quit his job and insists him to inform everyone about this at home. Abhijeet sets out to meet a property owner. Further, Abhijeet comes to Asavari's house with a good news and Asavari prepares a special type of rice for him. The next day, Asavari takes the "''Naralachya Wadya''" for Abhijeet at his restaurant. However, stunned by the unexpected words said by him, she storms off.

On reaching home, Asavari hugs Soham and begins to cry. Meanwhile, everyone at the restaurant get worried on seeing Abhijeet stunned. Shubhra gets worried on reading the letter received from Soham's office and quizzes him. Later, Pradnya eavesdrops on Soham and Shubhra's conversation with Soham's employer. Much to Abhijeet's resentment, Asavari rebukes him when he contacts her. Abhijeet then tells Shubhra that he wants to apologise to Asavari and she assures him that she will help him. Asavari gets shocked on learning from Pradnya that Soham has lost his job and questions Shubhra for hiding this from her.

The next day, Soham informs Abhijeet that he and Asavari are planning to meet him. Asavari's last moment refusal to talk to Abhijeet regarding Soham's recommendation for a job angers Soham. Later, Soham goes to meet Abhijeet alone and tells him that Asavari is unwell. That evening, Shubhra suspects Soham's involvement behind Abhijeet's unexpected arrival at their home. Asavari gets angry at Abhijeet, who leaves after declaring that he will never step into their house until Asavari invites him. Shubhra peacefully answers all of Asavari's questions about Abhijeet. After returning home, Soham berates Asavari on learning that Abhijeet has left.

Later, Soham tells Abhijeet about losing his job and requests him to talk to his employer about it. Asavari gets angry on learning that Abhijeet has come to Pradnya's house to learn the recipes. While Soham meets Abhijeet and thanks him, Abhijeet gives him an advice. Asavari and Shubhra get delighted on knowing that Soham has got his job back. Soon after, Abhijeet's absence in his cookery show startles Asavari. She visualises Abhijeet everywhere while trying to stay awake at night. Later, Asavari forgives an apologising Abhijeet over a phone call and is sent a sweet gift by him the next day.

After some days, Maddy visits Asavari's house to give her a cheque and contacts Abhijeet to inform him about Asavari's birthday. While on her way to the market, every passer-by gives Asavari a rose which surprises her. Later, much to her delight, Abhijeet meets Asavari and sings for her. However, Abhijeet is left stunned when Asavari reveals that it is not her birthday. Abhijeet and Shubhra accept the challenge of finding out Asavari's birth date. Later, Abhijeet contacts Asavari and pretends to be a social worker needing her birth date but in vain. Eventually, Abhijeet visits Asavari's house and successfully finds out her birth date by using a mathematics trick.

One month later, Shubhra contacts Abhijeet and teases him. When Abhijeet comes to Asavari's house with Maddy, Shubhra lies to him that Asavari has gone to the market barefoot. Later, she bumps into a barefooted Abhijeet while he looks for Asavari in the market. Shubhra then makes him confess his love for Asavari, following which, Abhijeet pours his heart out before her. Shubhra refuses to help Abhijeet as he tries to win Asavari and her family over. On reaching home, Asavari applies ointment on Abhijeet's feet as they are scarred due to the heat.

On Abhijeet and Asavari's birthday, Abhijeet's surprise birthday wish conveyed at night through a video delights Asavari. Asavari then takes a birthday gift for Abhijeet, but Pradnya cunningly swaps the gift. When Abhijeet comes to pick up the Kulkarni family, Aajoba teases him on seeing his clothes. On their way to the party, the tyre of Abhijeet and Asavari's taxi gets punctured, so the two ride a bicycle to reach a venue. Meanwhile, Pradnya executes her cunning plan by swapping the birthday cake meant for Abhijeet and Asavari.

Further, Aajoba rebukes Asavari as soon as she and Abhijeet reach the venue. Shubhra tricks Pradnya into confessing her misconduct and allows Abhijeet to learn the truth about his real birthday gift from Asavari. Aajoba's words regarding Asavari's life go on to upset Abhijeet. Shubhra uses her wit on seeing the swapped birthday cake and teaches Pradnya a lesson. Further, Maddy brings the original birthday cake meant for Abhijeet and Asavari. After the birthday celebration, Abhijeet gifts Asavari a mirror and pours his heart out to her.

A couple of days later, the special treat arranged by Abhijeet at his restaurant delights Asavari. However, Soham contacts her and asks her to return home urgently for having fallen off of his scooter. Further, Abhijeet asks Asavari to come down the building and proposes marriage to her. Later, Shubhra consoles a crying Asavari and a stunned Abhijeet. Eavesdropping on Abhijeet and Asavari, Pradnya deliberately tries to instigate Soham against them. Asavari gets disheartened as Soham and Aajoba berate her.

The next day, Shubhra tries to talk to Asavari about Abhijeet but in vain. Abhijeet's behaviour at his restaurant worries Maddy and the other employees. Later, Soham goes to meet Abhijeet at the restaurant but is reluctantly evaded by him. Shubhra then gives an advice to Abhijeet when he comes to meet Asavari. Pradnya tries to instigate Soham against Asavari once again. Soham goes on to meet Abhijeet at the restaurant to show him his business proposal. While there, he finds out something inside Abhijeet's wallet which makes him despise him.

After returning home, a furious Soham destroys the thinks kept safely by Asavari as souviners of Abhijeet. Plagued by Abhijeet's memories, Asavari accidentally contacts him to order groceries instead of a grocery shop. Realising that Asavari truly loves him, Abhijeet arrives at her house with the groceries ordered by her. Soham tries to confront Abhijeet over his and Asavari's relationship but in vain. Later, Abhijeet bumps into Asavari down the building where he expresses his feelings before her and gives her a promise.

Further, Soham behaves rudely with Abhijeet when he comes home with Asavari and Shubhra. Abhijeet then talks to Shubhra about his investment in Soham's business. Shubhra reprimands Soham for his rude behaviour with Abhijeet. Later, Soham asks Aajoba and Karkhanis Kaka to gather because he wants to tell them something important. Just as he is about to reveal Abhijeet's love for Asavari, Soham receives a phone call from Akshay who gives him some problematic information. Due to this new development, Soham reveals the good news of Abhijeet's partnership in his business, which leaves everyone exceedingly delighted and Asavari is grateful towards Abhijeet.

== Synopsis ==
Shaku, a sober but stubborn orphan, lives with her maternal uncle Damodar, a bachelor, in a slum. Her sole dream is to marry a millionaire. According to her, a girl gets only one chance to change her name and condition in life, and that is after her marriage. Damodar works as a cook for Mr. Laxmidhar Kuber, a renowned industrialist, whose son Naren has just returned from abroad after completing his studies. At a party thrown by Mr. Kuber for his son's homecoming, Naren tells his friends his views on marriage. His only condition is that he will marry a young widow, which is overheard by Shaku.

With the help of Damodar's friend Tatya Malvankar, Shaku poses as a young widow named Saudamini and enters the Kuber residence. Using her theatrical antics, she soon wins over the hearts of Mrs. Kuber and Naren, who ask her to live in the house. As days go by, Naren falls in love with her but Mr. Kuber asks for Saudamini's late husband's photograph. Again with the help of Tatya Malvankar, Shaku shows them the photograph of a man dressed as a military officer and tells his name as Captain Bajirao Rangade.

In the parallel plot, Dinkar Luktuke is a clerk working for Mr. Kuber's close friend Mr. Gajanan Deshmukh, while he is secretly in love with his daughter Hema. One day, when Mr. Kuber visits Mr. Deshmukh at his office, he bumps into Luktuke whom he recognizes as Saudamini's late husband Captain Bajirao Rangade in the photograph. A plan begins to take shape in Mr. Kuber's mind.

== Plot ==
Shaku ([[Supriya Pilgaonkar]]) is a girl orphaned by fate living in poverty with her maternal uncle Damodar (Suhas Bhalekar), who has raised her all by himself as a single relative. She is a talented actress who acts in the dramas taking place in their locality. Shaku's sole dream is to marry a millionaire as according to her, a girl gets only one chance to change her name and condition in life, and that is after her marriage. Damodar works as a servant for the wealthy industrialist Laxmidhar Kuber ([[Nilu Phule]]) and his understanding wife Mrs. Kuber (Shubha Khote) whose son Narendra Kuber, also known as Naren (Sachin Pilgaonkar), has just returned from the US after his graduation. Laxmidhar and Mrs. Kuber throw a grand party at their house for Naren's homecoming, where Shaku accompanies Damodar to assist him in the chores.

While there, Shaku overhears Naren sharing his views about marriage with his friends, when he expresses his desire of marrying only a widow for not having the ability to buy enough time to spend with his wife. Having fallen in love with Naren, Shaku vows to marry only him at any cost after realising that he is the heir to the infinity of wealth at his house. Using her theatrical antics with the help of her costume lender Tatya Malvankar ([[Macchindra Kambli]]), she creates a sequence of events that allows her to enter the Kuber residence. Further, Shaku fools Naren and his parents that she is a homeless widow named "Saudamini" and that she has gone into a state of sorrow since her husband's sad demise.

Therefore, Shaku is quickly accepted by the Kuber family after her pretence of having developed mental shock. Soon, she wins over the hearts of Naren and Mrs. Kuber who ask her to stay for some more time. While seeking refuge in the Kubers' house, Shaku tries to influence Naren by shedding unreal tears in the memory of her deceased husband. This prompts Naren to take Saudamini for outings to help her recover from the loss of her husband. Slowly, Naren realises that he has fallen in love with Saudamini and goes on to propose marriage to her. Feeling that she has finally accomplished her mission, Shaku accepts his marriage proposal after showing some hesitation.

However, Naren faces objection from Laxmidhar who demands information about Saudamini's past. Nevertheless, Shaku lies to the Kubers that her husband was a military officer named "Captain Bajirao Rangade", and that he died after getting hit by a soda water bottle during a riot. When asked for photograph, Tatya provides Shaku with the photograph of an aspiring drama actor ([[Ashok Saraf]]) dressed in a military uniform. Eventually, Laxmidhar agrees for Naren and Saudamini's marriage despite his wish to marry off his son to Hema ([[Kishori Shahane]]), the daughter of his close friend Deshmukh ([[Jayram Kulkarni|Jairam Kulkarni]]) who is an equally wealthier businessman.

Meanwhile, it is revealed that the aspiring drama actor whose photograph was provided by Tatya is Dinkar Luktuke, a homeless clerk at Deshmukh's office who is secretly having a love affair with Hema. Shortly, things take a turn when Laxmidhar visits Deshmukh's office and surprisingly bumps into Luktuke. Laxmidhar recognizes him from the photograph of Saudamini's late husband and grows suspicious of her true intentions. Wanting to become sure of Saudamini's deception, Laxmidhar instructs Luktuke to perform a mysterious drama at his house in exchange of a well-furnished, four-bedroom plot and 24/7 water supply for his living.

Acting upon Laxmidhar's instructions, Luktuke shockingly poses as "Captain Bajirao Rangade" and enters the Kuber residence as Saudamini's "alive" husband, who has returned to his wife after recovering from a coma. Shaku immediately denies any relation with Captain Rangade and lies that her husband was a left-hander. However, her plan backfires as Luktuke outsmarts her and confesses about being a left-hander in the past. To make matters worse, it turns out that Luktuke was born with six toes on his left foot, while Shaku had fooled the Kuber family with the same identification of her husband.

Eventually, Mrs. Kuber still does not accept Captain Rangade as Saudamini's husband while a distressed Naren faces a dilemma. In last hopes of regaining his relationship with Saudamini, he bribes Captain Rangade and tries to influence him to give her a divorce. However, Luktuke stands firm by citing his undying affection to his wife. Despite this, Hema spots Luktuke with Naren at a restaurant and follows him, therefore learning the truth. After the two come face-to-face, a stunned Luktuke unwillingly refuses to go with Hema, which provokes her into pretending to be in love with Naren to make him jealous.

That night, Luktuke returns home drunk and criticises Laxmidhar in front of Mrs. Kuber for breaking off his relationship with Hema. Mrs. Kuber begins to grow suspicious of Captain Rangade but Laxmidhar diverts her thinking. Meanwhile, Naren comes up with an idea and asks Saudamini to call in any of her relative who can testify Captain Rangade being an imposter. Seizing this opportunity, Shaku approaches Tatya and asks him to arrive at the Kuber residence as her relative. Due to the fact that Naren has seen him in the beginning of their theatrical antics, Tatya instructs his shop assistant Madhya (Madhu Apte) to assume his identity and claim that Captain Rangade is not her husband.

The next day, Tatya himself arrives at Naren's house in disguise as Madhya does not make it to his shop on time. He claims to have attended Saudamini's wedding and testifies that Captain Rangade cannot be her husband. In the end, Shaku concludes her arguments and has seemingly succeeded in convincing the Kuber family of Captain Rangade's pretence. However, the tale is twisted as Madhya goes on to arrive at the scene as "Tatya" and he too claims that Captain Rangade is not her husband. At this point, Shaku's cover is blown with the conception of faking her husband's death in hopes to marrying Naren for money.

On this ground, Laxmidhar expels Tatya and Madhya from the house while an emotionally upset Naren rants at Saudamini in a harsh manner. Despite this, Laxmidhar intervenes with Mrs. Kuber and pretends to forgive Saudamini for her misdeeds, before politely handing over all his wealth and power to her with a car as well as a house owned by him in [[Lonavala]] and asks her to surrender Naren to them. Seeing no other way out, Shaku mysteriously accepts Rangade as her husband and agrees to go with him but in the climax, shockingly ends up shooting him down fatally with the resolve to sacrifice herself for all her [[karma]] till now.

In guilt and remorse, Shaku confesses about her true identity before Naren and that she realised after entering the Kubers' house that there is nothing more important than love and affection, which she had developed for him and for the togetherness with the Kuber family. She also profusely thanks the Kubers for giving her the love of a family which life had denied to her and apologises to them for what everything cost them. Therefore, Shaku begs Laxmidhar to have her hanged to death by the police for cheating and even committing the murder of the fake Rangade. However, Laxmidhar amusingly reveals that he had already planted harmless [[ammunition]] in the gun and thus Luktuke turns out to be alive.

Moreover, Laxmidhar also reveals that he had only sent Luktuke to the residence as Captain Rangade and was testing Shaku's love for Naren, since he had already discovered her true identity from Damodar who refused to cheat or lie to the family. Upon learning this, Naren realises his folly and reciprocates Shaku's feelings for him with Laxmidhar and Mrs. Kuber's consent for marriage. At the same time, Hema and Deshmukh also arrive at Laxmidhar's house and Luktuke's cheating is exposed before them. A furious Deshmukh berates Luktuke for his negligence towards work along with Hema as Naren, Shaku, Laxmidhar, Mrs. Kuber and Damodar share a laughter at his embarrassment.
