Maayka - Saath Zindagi Bhar Ka is an Indian television series that was aired on Zee TV from January 15, 2007 until August 14, 2009. The show became popular. The series was originally produced by Anjana Sood's production house, Klassic Productions, but was taken over by Dheeraj Kumar's, Creative Eye Limited due to high overhead costs and delays.[1] Once taken over, Creative Eye replaced almost the entire cast of Maayka by ending their scene with a bomb explosion; the cast members filed a case against the channel with Cine and TV Artistes Association (CINTAA) for blacklisting them.[2]
Plot
This is the story of the Malhorta family's three daughters— Raji, Soni and Mahi. They have a younger brother, Prince. Initially, the show focuses on the eldest daughter, Raji, who gets married to Veer, a police officer, and tries hard to adjust to the lifestyle of his family. Then a bomb explodes at the Malhotras' house, killing Raji and most of her family. The only people that survive are the two younger daughters: Soni and Mahi. After their maayka (parental home) is destroyed the girls have to struggle for survival. Mahi is married to Shabd Sareen. Soni, through a twist of fate, gets married to Veer, even though she and Jeet (Veer's younger brother) are in love. Veer is killed leaving Soni pregnant with his chid. Later, Jeet marries Soni. Soni and Raji's mother Mohini is found alive. Then, misunderstandings arise between the two sisters. At long last, the problems are resolved.
