At the heart of the narrative is Mahadev, whose journey forms the emotional core of the series. Having married Vidya against her family’s wishes, Mahadev becomes the target of lifelong resentment from Vidya’s family, especially her sister Mala. The love marriage triggers a deep rift between the households, with Mala believing that Vidya betrayed their family to be with Mahadev. Her bitterness fuels a cycle of hostility that shapes the show’s central conflict.
Mahadev, an orphan, carries the weight of society’s judgement. He feels constantly punished for his background and believes Vidya’s family will never accept him because of it. As time progresses, Mahadev finds pride and solace in the upbringing of his three sons and one daughter. However, Mala’s curse that his own sons will one day break his family the way she believes he broke hers casts a long shadow over his happiness.
Fearing history will repeat itself, Mahadev extracts a promise from his sons: they must never choose love marriage. He believes that he has already paid the price for choosing love as an orphan, and he does not want his children to suffer the same fate.
Packed with high emotional stakes, strong character arcs, and layered family dynamics, Mahadev and Sons promises to deliver gripping drama as relationships are tested and old wounds resurface. The show is positioned as a full-fledged family entertainer with deep-rooted values and impactful storytelling.
The central theme is captured powerfully in the show’s tagline:
“Ek faisle ne Mahadev ke parivaar ko diya zindagi bhar ka apmaan, kya iss nafrat ke beech bani rahegi uske diye sanskaaro ki shaan?”
