Plot The story revolves around an upper middle-class
Rajasthani joint family called the Kaushiks living in Jaipur.

mother whom they call Ammasa.
Mrs. Bindeshwari Kaushik is the family matriarch who has made strict rules and regulations
in her house and all the family members follow them.
The story began with Mrs. Kaushik's search for an ideal daughter-in-law and wife for
her youngest son, Karthik.
According to her, an ideal daughter-in-law should be an amalgamation of the elements
of nature akin to the virtues represented by her other four loving, honest and obedient
daughters-in-law.
Then enters Lovely, a free-spirited, fun-loving, beautiful young girl who believed in making
her own rules rather than following rules made by others.
She fell in love with Karthik and eventually they got married after a series of dramatic
events.
Therefore, Lovely became Mrs. Kaushik's fifth daughter-in-law but her mother-in-law did
not accept her so easily.
Half of the story was about Lovely's struggle to impress her in-laws until she completely
won her family's love and trust.
Lovely somehow managed to create a permanent place in Mrs. Kaushik's heart.
All the family members accepted her wholeheartedly, too.
Post Lovely's acceptance into the family, Kaushik family faced a huge shock and suffers
a big loss when their brave and one of the beloved daughter-in-law, Simran died.
This tragedy shattered everyone in the family but the love and trust within the Kaushik
family helped them to recover the big loss.
Time passed and Kaushik family was again blessed with its third daughter-in-law in the form
of Karantiya, who after living with the Kaushik family, underwent a complete change of character
i.e., from being a ruthless arrogant lady to a loving and caring woman.
Karantiya also became a part of Kaushik family and beautifully filled the place left by Simran.
Now, Kaushik family is a complete big happy family.
They meet new challenges in their lives but every time Bindeshwari make it sure not to
lose her family's unity.
Lovely becomes an ideal daughter-in-law and now she wants happiness for her family at
any cost.
Karthik loves her, too and always supports her.
The story also contains some romantic and comic angles between five couples, each having
their own story.
Overall, Mrs. Kaushik Ki Paanch Bhauein depicts the unity between Mrs. Kaushik's sons as well
as her daughters-in-law who have come from different places yet living happily together
at one place.
