== Plot == Gopi is an orphan who lives with her aunt Urmila Shah, uncle Jeetu Shah, and cousin Rashi in a chawl, having been estranged from her parents at a young age. Urmila and Rashi torment and humiliate Gopi, making her do all the household chores. Urmila keeps Gopi uneducated, viewing her as a burden. Kokila Modi, belonging to an affluent Gujarati family from Rajkot, decides to have her son Ahem Modi marry Gopi, though he is already in a relationship with Anita. Kokila forces Ahem to break up with Anita, and her brother Umang vows revenge.
Urmila and Rashi plot to have Rashi marry Jigar, Ahem's younger cousin, by creating doubts in the mind of his fiancée Sonal. Soon, Ahem marries Gopi and Jigar marries Rashi.
Initially, Gopi faces many hardships in the Modi household, as Kokila is strict and Ahem rejects her due to her illiteracy. Rashi, aided by Urmila, continues to plot against Gopi to gain influence in the household. Ahem's sister Kinjal is married to Urmila's nephew Dhaval after being deceived by Umang. Over time, Kokila grows closer to Gopi but does not support her desire to study. Eventually, Ahem accepts Gopi and helps her pursue her education. Gopi becomes confident and earns the family's respect. Rashi's schemes are exposed, leading to her temporary expulsion, but she is later forgiven after showing remorse.
Eight years later, Gopi gives birth to a daughter, Meera, while Rashi has twin sons, Sahir and Samar. Gopi's parents, Madhu and Jayantilal, along with her sister Radha, return. Radha marries Umang, who is later murdered by his first wife Tripti. Tripti falsely implicates Gopi, and Radha turns against her. However, Kokila, Gopi, and Rashi expose Tripti, who is imprisoned. Gopi later becomes pregnant again.
Radha plots against Gopi and causes an accident during a picnic, resulting in Meera falling into a river. Believed to be dead, Meera's loss devastates the family. Kokila and Ahem blame Gopi, who leaves the Modi house while pregnant.
Gopi raises her second daughter, Vidya, alone. Kokila arranges Ahem's marriage to Radha. On the wedding day, Rashi reunites Gopi and Ahem, and Vidya is revealed to be their daughter. It is discovered that Meera is alive but was raised in a temple under difficult conditions. Gopi and Ahem reunite, and Radha's crimes are exposed. Radha and Tripti are imprisoned.
Rashi's cousin Paridhi enters the Modi house. Rashi sacrifices her life to save Gopi, leaving Jigar devastated. He later marries Paridhi under family pressure. Radha returns, manipulates Jigar, and gives birth to a daughter named after Rashi. When Radha threatens the child, realizing she will never reform, Gopi kills her by stabbing with a Trishul 20 times in self-defence and is sentenced to 14 years in prison.
Ten years later Gopi is released early from prison. She learns that Kokila lives separately and that Ahem has distanced himself from the family. He lives in Mumbai with Meera and Vidya, along with Mansi Raheja. Relationships within the family are strained.
Gopi, Kokila, and Jigar reunite with Ahem and his daughters. Vidya is kind, while Meera has grown rebellious. Eventually, the family reconciles. Vidya marries Shravan, while Meera is forced into marriage with Dharam due to a conspiracy by Gaura, who seeks revenge against Kokila. Various conflicts unfold, including kidnappings, impersonation, and revenge plots. Gaura is eventually exposed and arrested.
Ahem later dies in a car accident, leaving the family devastated.
Five years later, Gopi becomes withdrawn after Ahem's death. Family divisions deepen, with members living separately. Vidya has a daughter, while Meera faces personal struggles. Kokila arranges Gopi's marriage to Krishna Raheja, who later reveals malicious intentions. Gopi eventually divorces him and marries Jaggi, Ahem's lookalike, who loves her.
It is later revealed that Jaggi is Parag's illegitimate son. Meanwhile, new conspiracies emerge involving Gaura, who returns seeking revenge. She is eventually defeated.
Gopi learns that her biological son, Ramakant, is alive. He grows up spoiled and initially behaves selfishly. He later reforms and marries Sita. Sameera, seeking revenge, attempts to destroy the family but is exposed. The series concludes with Ramakant and Sita's marriage, bringing happiness back to the Modi family.

Members of CINTAA held meetings with Manek and asked her to quit the reality show. However, she declined, and StarPlus replaced her with Devoleena Bhattacharjee.<ref name="The Times of India-2012" />

In May 2016, Mohammad Nazim, who played Ahem, exited the show. According to a member of the production crew, the decision was made due to storyline changes involving a time leap and the reluctance of actors to portray older roles:<ref>{{cite web |title=Saath Nibhaana Saathiya: Ahem Modi aka Mohammad Nazim to die; actor bids adieu to the show |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/television/soaps/story/saath-nibhaana-saathiya-ahem-modi-aka-mohammad-nazim-to-die-actor-bids-adieu-to-the-show-322691-2016-05-10 |website=India Today|date=10 May 2016 }}</ref>
{{Blockquote|text=Since the existing key actors aired their reservations about playing grandparents, the creatives had no option but to put the time leap on hold.
