Synopsis

[change | change source]

Aggabai Sasubai is the story of Asavari Kulkarni (Nivedita Joshi Saraf), a reclusive, loving, caring and selfless widow, who tragically lost her husband at a young age and single-handedly raised her son, Soham (Ashutosh Patki), in addition with looking after the health of her elderly, authoritative father-in-law, Dattatray (Ravi Patwardhan / Mohan Joshi), also known as Aajoba. She is also often ridiculed and insulted by her jealous neighbour, Pradnya (Sanjeevani Sathe), who is the daughter-in-law of Aajoba's childhood friend, Vidyadhar (Arun Mohre), also known as Karkhanis Kaka, and his wife, Prabha (Rajshri Potdar), also known as Karkhanis Kaku. Asavari leads a simple middle-class life with Soham and Aajoba until Soham gets married to his long-time girlfriend, Shubhra (Tejashree Pradhan). Soham and Shubhra's marriage party is held at the restaurant run by Chef Abhijeet Raje (Girish Oak), an upper-class celebrity chef whose daily cookery show on the TV is Asavari's favourite. When he meets her at his restaurant, Abhijeet falls in love with Asavari and asks her to teach him prepare a certain recipe made from pumpkin.

Impressed by the dish, Abhijeet sends his restaurant manager, Mandodari Parab (Bhakti Ratnaparkhi), also known as Maddy, to the Kulkarni residence with a cheque for Asavari as royalty payment for the pumpkin recipe. Due to a misunderstanding, Abhijeet's marriage is fixed with Maddy, but Asavari's daughter-in-law, Shubhra, who wishes for her mother-in-law's happiness, meets Abhijeet and brings out the truth that he loves Asavari. Eventually, Abhijeet proposes to Asavari and they decide to get married. However, both Soham and Aajoba disapprove of Asavari getting remarried, and attempt to spoil Abhijeet and Asavari's relationship, with the instigation of Pradnya. What happens next? Do Abhijeet and Asavari get married? Watch out the full show to know how the story unfolds as Soham and Aajoba learn an important lesson from Abhijeet, Asavari and Shubhra.
