The show opens with a family of four bachelor brothers, Shiv, Alok, Veeru and Rajat, living in Banaras. They are well-versed in many things, from doing household chores to managing a business in a local grocery store. Hence, the four brothers are called Sarvagun Sampann Gupta Brothers in their neighborhood. The four brothers are self-reliant and feel a woman is unnecessary. Hence, they decide to remain unmarried. However, when Ganga creates a fake identity of Mridula Roy and enters the lives of the Gupta Brothers, their worlds turn upside-down.
All four brothers try to get rid of her using all possible means to find Ganga's truth. While trying to do that, Shiv discovers Ganga's identity as an orphan and develops a soft corner for her, also forgiving despite her delinquent deeds against the brothers. Ganga is amazed by Shiv's kindness and instantly takes a likeness for him, which soon develops into love. However, Shiv unaware of Ganga's feelings, decides to get her married to another man, to which Ganga accepts brokenheartedly. On the day of wedding, the bride-groom elopes, so Shiv marries Ganga to save her honor. Shiv and Ganga's marriage leave Alok, Veeru and Rajat shattered and also develops a rift with Shiv. They decide never to accept Ganga as their brother's wife.
Later, it is revealed that Shiv and Ganga's marriage was an evil ploy made by Amba against the Gupta brothers. She continues to provoke Alok, Veeru and Rajat against Shiv and Ganga by revealing that they are Shiv's step-brothers, instill the idea of partition, and constantly plotting against the brothers. Meanwhile, even Rajat gets moved by Ganga's kindness and accepts her, while Alok and Veeru still hate her. Ganga uncovers Amba's complete truth and vows to protect her family. By risking her love and marriage, Ganga reveals everything to Shiv. Shiv is shocked to learn Amba's truth, breaks all ties with her and starts reciprocating Ganga's feelings seeing her goodness. Amba dejected of Shiv learning the truth from Ganga, decides to kill Ganga.
Unfortunately, Alok, Veeru and Rajat fall prey of her evil plan. Ganga puts her life at stake and saves all three of them. This moves both Alok and Veeru, making them realize that they had been wrong about her all the while. Finally, Shiv's brothers accept Ganga and name her as their Bhabhi-maa.
Alok, Veeru, and Rajat arrange Shiv and Ganga's nuptial night, where Ganga decides to not consider their own family until Shiv's brothers, whom Ganga now considers as her own children, are completely settled. Shiv is taken aback, but respecting Ganga's bold decision accepts and starts their life together.
The Gupta family is now a happy family with the three younger Gupta brothers looking upon Shiv and Ganga as their parents. During a festive moment, Shiv and Ganga notice Alok and Jaya closeness and doubt on their relation. Upon demand, Jaya reveals that she has been in love with Alok since childhood and also believes that Alok, a changed man now, is reciprocating her feelings. This leads to Shiv and Ganga, misunderstand that Alok and Jaya love each other. Though initially reluctant, Shiv decides to marry off Alok and Jaya for his brother's happiness, which is when, it is revealed that Alok loves another girl, Aditi, the daughter of one of their rich dealers Bansal. Upon learning more about Bansal, Alok broken-heartedly decides to marry Jaya. On the other hand, he breaks-up with Aditi, while lying to her that his love was fake. On the day of Alok and Jaya's marriage, Aditi learns the truth and also realizes that her father was the master-plan behind breaking hers and Alok's relationship. Aditi decides to win back Alok. She elopes from her house and emotionally blackmails Alok that she would give up her life if he wouldn't marry her. Helpless, Alok marries Aditi, shattering Jaya and her family. To secure Jaya's future, Ganga asks Veeru to marry Jaya, to which both oppose as both of them have always hated each other. However, in the end, for the sake of the happiness of their families, Veeru and Jaya agree to marry each other. Thus, Alok marries Aditi, while Veeru marries Jaya.
After Aditi–Alok and Veeru–Jaya's marriage, Ganga and Shiv struggle to keep their family united as constant issues crop in between Aditi and Jaya, because Aditi is always insecure about Jaya's presence. Aditi also has difficulty to adjust with the middle-class conditions of the family as she has always led a luxurious life till then. Veeru and Jaya always quarrel with each other due to their differences. Ganga and Shiv strive hard to keep the unity of the family together, however Amba strives to divide the Gupta family.
Thus, Amba instigates Bansal, who wants his daughter and son-in-law, to live with him, Aditi–Alok, against the Gupta family. Amba herself was using Bansal as she wants her daughter, Jaya, to live a queen's life in Gupta family. Provoked by Amba, Bansal stops all his supplies to Gupta & Sons grocery store. This causes a major loss for the Guptas and Shiv decides to get help from acquaintances of Mirzapur. In Shiv's Absence, when a man named Mishra, who is in fact of Amba, offers help to the Gupta family. Alok retracts from accepting the offer. However, Veeru, to help his family and to prove himself in front of his wife, Jaya, who always considers him to be good-for-nothing, accepts Mishra's offer going against Alok.
Amba's plan succeeds with the Health Inspectors inspecting the stale and expired products in Gupta & Sons grocery store and thus leading to seal the store. The Guptas are devastated and things go more downhill with the police arresting Alok for the Foodborne illness caused by the stale and expired products of Gupta & Sons. Shiv and Veeru try to save Alok, by getting arrested instead of him. Nevertheless, Alok stops his brothers and gets arrested taking the entire responsibility of Foodborne illness upon himself. While Shiv–Veeru tries to release Alok through law, Ganga reaches Bansal for help. Bansal puts forth a condition that he will help Ganga, in return of Aditi–Alok. Ganga is crossed to learn Bansal's perspectives of considering family–relations as business. Ganga denies to ever bid her family in return of anything in this world. As Ganga leaves, Bansal realizes that Aditi had overheard his and Ganga's entire conversation. Bansal tries to blackmail his daughter once again emotionally. But, this time Aditi confronts her father for all his evil acts against her (Gupta) family and vows that she will break all ties with her father if he ever tries to plot against her family.
Later, Ganga, Shiv and Veeru make-up with the Foodborne illness victims' families and help Alok get released from jail. At the same time, Jaya too catches Mishra proving the innocence of the Guptas in the case of Foodborne illness. The whole Gupta family rejoice over surpassing the great trouble in their family. However, things are still unstable between Aditi–Jaya with Jaya misunderstanding the main culprit behind all the scams in Gupta family to be Bansal (when it is her mother, Amba);. At the same time, Aditi is always insecure with Alok-Jaya's proximity. Tensions also continue to prevail between Veeru–Jaya. However, Aditi, aware of her father's misdeeds, accepts the Gupta family more and can have a better cordial relationship with everyone, except for Jaya.
Ganga and Shiv send the newly-weds, Aditi–Alok and Veeru–Jaya for honeymoon. During their honeymoon, Veeru–Jaya had a huge brawl in the hotel, with Jaya leaving the room saddened and annoyed. She is about to meet with an accident, when Alok saves her and promises Jaya that he will be always at her side as a friend. Unfortunately, Aditi watches it and fumes with jealousy. She calls Veeru and questions his wife's character to which Veeru's stays dumb. In the room, Veeru assures, he trusts Jaya, having known of her friendship with Alok since childhood. This betters the matters between Veeru–Jaya a bit. While, on the other side, Aditi confesses to Alok, how much insecure she is about his and Jaya's relation and wants Alok to prove his loyalty to her.
In Banaras, Ganga–Shiv are called for a Baby shower ceremony, where Ganga is criticized for being childless. However, Rajat retaliates to the criticisms, by calling Ganga Bhabhi-maa and affirming that Ganga is also his mother . Later, Ganga-Shiv decide to renovate and enlarge their house for the comfort of the newly-weds. During the puja of house–renovation, Aditi–Alok and Veeru–Jaya surprise everyone with their return. The Gupta family is overjoyed when Aditi tells them she is pregnant. Everyone is happy for Aditi except for Jaya, who feels dejected on being ignored by Aditi and her dejection is increased by Amba poisoning her mind more. Jaya vents out her frustration on Veeru, saying her life is destroyed by marrying him. Veeru is heart–broken by Jaya's words and decides to divorce her for her betterment. While on the other hand, Amba tries to kill Aditi's unborn child, by poisoning her food. But Jaya get to know about her mother's plan and saves Aditi, breaks all ties with her mother. After all this also, the tension between Aditi-Alok and Jaya-Veeru continues. Alok and Veeru decides to divorce their wives. To save their family and keep them united, Shiv-Ganga puts an act and even they also decide to separate. Then four of them decides to stop Shiv-Ganga and they make four of them realise their mistakes and they solve their issues. Veeru-Jaya confess their feelings and even Jaya and Aditi also patch up.
