Ek Ghar Banaunga

Synopsis

The female protagonist of the story, Poonam, is faced with the dilemma of how to provide for her parents when she is not around after her marriage, because an ancient Indian tradition says "post marriage, a girl is expected to leave her parental home and take care of her in-laws." Poonam's only brother has settled in the U.S., and could not care less about his responsibility for his parents, as he considers them a burden. But life has planned something else for Poonam – her marriage is fixed with Gautam, who comes from a selfish, greedy and conspiring family who does not care about the marriage, but only for the dowry which they demanded for. On her wedding day to Gautam, Poonam realises the true colours of Gautam's family, and breaks her marriage with him. On the same day, she is married to Aakash, the male protagonist of the story, as well as Poonam's wedding planner, who had been secretly in love with her. Poonam's family decides this marriage, as Aakash is a sensible man and after this day no one else would want to marry Poonam. The problem arises, as Aakash marries Poonam with out informing his family, and his family utterly rejects Poonam. However, Poonam is given six months to leave the house, but in that time she wins everybody's heart and becomes an ideal daughter-in-law. Meanwhile, Poonam's parents are left alone to cope with their situation when Aakash sees her concern and decides to bring her parents' home. The problem starts when both parents and the in-laws of the protagonists start staying together. Eventually, Poonam's family too settles down. The rest of the story is the ongoing drama between the households of these two families.
