Zee TV, known for narrating compelling stories that resonate with Indian audiences, is gearing up to present another thought-provoking fiction offering – "Kyunki… Saas Maa, Bahu Beti Hoti Hai." The story unfolds in Gujarat, amidst a vibrant Navratri celebration, where a storm brews within the Rajgaur family of Surat. The youngest daughter-in-law, Hetal, seeks separation, challenging the traditional role of a daughter-in-law. This unexpected twist leaves Ambika, the eldest daughter-in-law and matriarch of the Rajgaur dynasty, devastated, as her top priority has always been to keep the family united.
In a bid to disprove her sister-in-law Hetal's belief that "Saas kabhi maa, aur Bahu kabhi beti nahi ban sakti" (A mother-in-law can never become a mother, and a daughter-in-law can never become a daughter), Ambika makes a significant decision. She adopts little Kesar, a baby left at the doorstep of their family orphanage, and commits to raising her – not just as a daughter but as a daughter-in-law.
Actress Navika Kotia takes on the role of Kesar, who grows up to be an affable girl. Ambitious and determined, Kesar strikes a balance between her personal dreams and family aspirations. Her "never give up" attitude reflects her belief that one either wins or learns. Destined to enter Ambika's life, Kesar's unwavering dedication to Ambika becomes a true "samarpan" (dedication), showcasing her commitment to the woman who will raise her to be a future daughter-in-law, ensuring the family's unity.
