Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi (Because a Mother-in-law was once a Daughter-in-law too) is a popular Indian "serial" (a soap opera) in Hindi that revolves around the lives of the Virani family. It is produced by Balaji Telefilms.
The main characters include Tulsi, and her longstanding rival Payal, who aims to sabotage the harmony of the Virani household, since she could not marry Tulsi's husband, Mihir. Mihir and Tulsi have Gautam and Shobha as children. Many other characters are also present, as in a typical Indian shared joint family household.
"Meet Govardhan Virani. A powerful industrialist, Govardhan lives with his wife, three sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren, in his family home, ironically named Shantiniketan. Ironically, because his three daughters-in-law - Savita, Daksha and Gayatri - love nothing better than to put the rest of the family through trying times.
To make matters worse, Mihir, the eldest grandson, marries Tulsi, the daughter of the poor family pujari. Tulsi is made the target of much ridicule, till she decides to give her three mothers-in-law - Savita, Daksha and Gayatri - as good as she gets it from them.
Kyunki Saas… is about Tulsi's battle to teach the trio a lesson. Packed into this are four weddings - of Tulsi-Mihir, Sejal-Anand, Kiran-Aarti and Suhasi-Rakesh. And a funeral - Mihir's.
Or is it really a funeral? Because Mihir is not really dead - he just has a bad case of amnesia. And he manages to return just in time to save his wife from getting married again. Will the newly-forged positive relationship between Savita and Tulsi remain intact? Will Mandira, the doctor who nursed Mihir back to health, ever realise and accept that he can never be hers? And what is to become of Mihir's relationship with Mandira?
