Plot

In Jhilmil Sitaron Ka Aangan Hoga, a doting mother, Kalyani Devi Raichand, gets her three daughters married to men who move in with her family instead of taking their wives away to their homes. Kalyani's wealthy family follows a unique custom of getting bridegrooms to move in with the brides and their parents, instead of the other way around (which is usual in Indian society). So, when Kalyani and Raghuveer Raichand's youngest daughter Angana decides to marry Akash Sharma, the family tradition and history have to repeat themselves. Under the pressure of circumstances, Akash has to bid farewell to his family and become a live-in son-in-law at the Raichands' place. The young couple goes through many trials and tribulations. But, at last, Akash wins respect from everyone in Angana's family, including the hard-to-please Kalyani.

Just as everything seems to be falling into place, tragedy strikes. Akash dies, leaving Angana shell-shocked. Soon after, the Raichands come in contact with the Chauhan family, whose middle son, Saumya, is a divorcee with two small children. The children take a great liking to Angana, and she feels revived in their company. This makes the Chauhans and the Raichands think that Angana and Saumya can be the perfect spouses for one another. Under pressure from the two families, Angana and Saumya enter a loveless marriage. Angana starts living at the Chauhan house. Within a few days, she discovers that she is pregnant with Akash's child. Saumya is shocked, but decides to stand by Angana and accept her child as his own. The couple has to face a tricky situation when the Chauhan family learns of Angana's pregnancy.

Reception

The show gained a poor reception on its release. Kshama Rao of The Indian Express expressed her disappointment saying, "The show had an interesting premise of daughters staying back at their parents' home while their husbands come to them. It could have been a light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek look at the concept of ghar jamais but then we are talking Barjatyas here, for them to even endorse such a thought is sacrilege. Sigh!" However, the situation is beginning to change as the show has garnered the attention of a section of the male audience. This shows 'Lyricist Raghvendra Singh was nominated for Best Lyricist category in Indian Television Academy Awards, 2013.
