Starring an ensemble cast of Satish Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, Sumeet Raghavan, Rupali Ganguly, and Rajesh Kumar, the show revolves around the Sarabhais, a quintessential upper-class Gujarati family living in the upmarket neighbourhood of Cuffe Parade in South Mumbai. The family members include the matriarch, Maya; her husband, Indravadan; their two sons, Sahil and Rosesh; Sahil's wife, Monisha; Indravadan and Maya's son-in-law, Dushyant; and Indravadan's brother-in-law, Madhusudan Fufa. Regarded as being ahead of its generation in terms of its concept, writing, and average viewership ratings at the time of its initial release, the show has gone on to become a cult classic.
