-==Major characters==
+{{Reflist}}
-*'''Dadaji and Dadiji''' — The role of Dadiji was played by [[Sushma Seth]]. She is a busy socialite who is involved in various charity organizations. She is the stern one in the house and is undoubtedly the head of the family. Dadaji, a hen-pecked husband is a loving, endearing person seen with the kids and is mostly upto some mischief along with them.
-*'''The Sons''' — The two sons are Baldev ([[Navin Nischol]]) and Sameer ([[Shekhar Suman]]). Baldev is the serious and sensible son who is always seen watching the events that take place in the house with an amused smile. Sameer on the other hand is funny and witty who is always pulling everyone’s leg.
-*'''The Wives''' — Suhasini ([[Farida Jalal]]) is the wife of Baldev and Sonu ([[Bhavna Balsaver]]) is the wife of Sameer. Suhasini owns a beauty parlour and is very charming and sweet. The dumb, innocent and adorable Chaachi is a writer who takes her job very seriously much to the mirth of her family members.
-*'''The Kids''' — Sanju and Kirthi are teenage kids of Baldev and Suhasini, while Vishal and Aabha are Sameer’s and Sonu’s children. Sanju spends most of his time on the phone with his suspicious girlfriend Shilpa. Everything he does ends up as a huge blunder and is always seeking advice to woo Shilpa back. The kids and their friends provide many comic situations that viewers can actually relate to.

-There are various other characters who come on and off and add to the fun. Kareema ([[Deven Bhojani]]) the servant, the whacko assistant of Suhasini, the cute mother of Sonu with her popular “Tere mooh mein keede… ”, the bespectacled Deepak, a friend of Kirthi, the weirdo friend of Sanju and [[Amar Upadhyay]] of [[Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi]] fame who acted as Saahil Chaachu in this comedy.
-Be it the kids maintaining the budget for a month or the family trying to impress Sameer’s new client or little Vishal falling in love with his classmate, all the situations are quite believable and fun to watch.
