Vivek was married to the soft-spoken and devout Sadhana. Prem was deeply in love with the spirited and kind Preeti, daughter of their estate manager, while Sohan’s heart belonged to the lively Sapna. The family’s motto, engraved not on a plaque but in their every gesture, was “Hum Saath Saath Hain” — We are together. The only discordant note came from the cousins, Anand and Vivek’s sister-in-law (Sadhana’s sister), Mamta Bhabhi’s elder sister's son. They lived in the family’s shadow, eyeing the property and status with greedy eyes. They whispered to the innocent but easily swayed Mamta Bhabhi (the mother), "Look, your sons are good, but your daughters-in-law… they will divide the house. And Sohan, the youngest, he’s too soft. What if Vivek and Prem push him aside?"
Prem’s blood boiled. He confronted the cousins, who fled. He then rushed to his mother. "Maa," he said, tears in his eyes, "there was never any fight between us. You were tricked."
"Hum Saath Saath Hain." We are together. Always.
