Of the four Mittal sons, the eldest Umesh is married to Gayatri and has three children - Nandini, Pratham and Gautam. Rajesh is married to Archana and they also have three children - Samay, Tushar and Diya. Sanjay is a widower, who often has imaginary conversations with his late wife Maya and their three kids are - Siddharth, Riya and Richa.

They go through trials and tribulations but emerge victorious in the end, as their relationship stays untarnished. They return to their ''kutumb'' and live happily ever after.
