Gayatri and Abhishek have a son named Krishna. The two families are still bitter but pretend to be happy in presence of Krishna. These fights have taken a toll on their health: Anna has impaired hearing, while Mahendra keeps forgetting things easily. Gayatri and Abhishek have been divorced because of a huge misunderstanding involving a third person. Krishna gets to know that his parents have been divorced and the two families separated. As a result, he wants a divorce from his family. Abhishek, Mahendra, and Urmila try to talk to Krishna, where they found out that Krishna knows that Abhishek once also divorced Anna. Anna supports his daughter-in-law Gayatri while on the other hand, the Thakkar family supports Abhishek. The reason behind the divorce was that Gayatri saw Abhishek with another girl named Anjali, during their vacation in a hotel room in Goa. A court hearing takes place at their home itself, which turns out to be inconclusive. Krishna, along with his cousins (Ujwala, Mandar), Chirag (Gayatri's cousin), and Keshav, plans to reunite his parents. He keeps a deal that whoever from his parents gets married first, he will move in with them.
Soon, a man named Aprateem Joshi is discovered and selected by Anna to become Gayatri's groom, whereas the Thakkars' selects a girl named Aishwarya to be Abhishek's bride.
However, it is revealed that Aprateem and Aishwarya are actually Bhojpuri goons-in-disguise named Munna Pandey and Munni Pandey. Munna, a lender, gives Keshav some money for a month at 5% interest but Munna deceives him and says he charged 5% interest per day and threatens Keshav. At the time, Keshav overhears Munna talking about getting his sister, Munni Pandey married. Hearing this a devious plan hatches in Keshav's mind to avoid paying the money and proposes to Munna to get his sister married to Abhishek. Munna accepts the offer and Keshav starts training them accordingly and sends them as Aprateem Joshi and Aishwarya respectively to Gokhale and Thakkar families. Keshav also uses Krishna, Chirag, and Ujjwala for his devious plan. Both manage to win the hearts of the families without suspicion and Munni gets set to actually marry Abhishek. However, Munna wants to actually marry Gayatri for her property, shop, and house and threatens to kill Keshav if this doesn't happen.
Mandar, Ujjwala, and Mahendra overhear this conversation and find out about everything. They are caught before they could inform anyone by Munna and taken hostage. Meanwhile, Urmila and Chirag try everything they can to find out about Anjali online, but she finally blocks them. Abhishek manages to free Ujjwala, Mandar, and Mahendra from the goons and everyone rushes to stop the marriage. However, upon telling Anna and Gayatri about this, they refuse to agree and are adamant. They try everything to stop the marriage but to no avail. Keshav refuses to speak about anything for fear of his life. Right at their last ritual of marriage, Krishna prays for a miracle and Anjali finally comes to stop the marriage and clears Gayatri's doubt. Anjali reveals that her marriage was fixed with a bad guy; Abhishek was helping her by pretending to be her lover and was not having an extramarital affair. Thus, Gayatri realizes her mistake. Abhishek and Gayatri get married again.

The Thakkars and Gokhales' are now in a hilarious argument as to where Krishna will live. Krishna manages to calm them and resolve their fight. The show concludes as Anna and Mahindra say that their relationship is like Bhakarwadi: sweet, sour, and tangy!
