Plot summary
This series revolves around Godavari Thakkar (Sarita Joshi) and her family. She is the head of the Thakkar Family, despite her husband Labhshankar Thakkar (Arvind Vaidya) being alive, who is indulged in drinking and he is accused for never supporting his family financially or morally. Godavari rules her family strictly and is often called "Hitler","JhogMaya" and "Mogamba" by her family members mostly by Praveena. Her sons have different qualities and share the blessings of life. Their wives are often worried due to household burdens, but they end up being happy.They face different problems and misunderstanding that were often created between the family members. Throughout the series; Baa writes in a secret Red Book no one else is allowed to read.
The first season showed that Baa (Godavari) ruled her family strictly and responsibly.Her daughter Baby (Radhika Thakkar) had polio (making her legs of no use) and her son Gattu (Gopal Thakkar) is a little bit mentally disturbed due to the poverty she faced and her unavailability as working as a cook to raise her children. Hemal was told to be adopted by Godavari, when her sister-in-law Gunvanti insisted. After nearly 175 episodes, Baa invited her son Dr.Harshad Thakkar back to the house after a 5-year period. Harshad was expelled from the house due to an unknown reason which was later revealed. Midway through the season, Godavari's daughter-in-law, Praveena, died in a building collapse. Her son Hemal then got married to Gudiya. Dimple (Godavari's granddaughter) was married to Anish Kotak.
In the second season, The Krishna Villa is renovated. Baby finally gets a husband, Birju: a pleasant young man. Jigar marries Rim Jhim Talwar.
An author, Asha Ji, wrote a biography of Godavari, published as "Baa, Bahoo aur Baby" where she had written all about her family in the final episode. She addressed a meeting of the members in the house and told them that this book is all about them. In the end, a 3-year later scenario is shown. Arvind and Leela finally are visiting America to welcome Dimple's coming child. Pravin is shown with his children, Mehul, now a fashion designer; Mitali,an Air-Hostess; and Chaitali, a model. Harshad and Shilpa open a hospital on Godavari's name. Minakshi is again becoming a mother and is joined by her son and daughter while crying. Gudiya gave birth to two twin girls. Rim Jhim starts a catering house and Babuji finally leaves drinking, now helping Rim Jhim.Baby returns with Birju from Germany, and she is finally able to walk, and has a son named Ahan. The family opened a child-care centre for Gattu, where he would take care of all the children who came there: on the name of Gattuki. The Thakkar Family won the "Family of The Decade Award". Simran wrote a poem on the different members of the family and their attributes. The season ends with a final photo of the family.
