Sukh Mhanje Nakki Kay Asta! (transl. What Exactly Is Happiness!) is an Indian Marathi language television series airing on Star Pravah. It premiered from 17 August 2020 and produced by Mahesh Kothare and Adinath Kothare under the banner of Kothare Vision.[1] The series is loosely based on Bengali TV series Ke Apon Ke Por.[2] It starred Mandar Jadhav and Girija Prabhu in lead roles.

Plot

In Kolhapur, Gauri, a kind hearted girl, is treated as a daughter by Shirke-Patil family patriarch, Yashwant and his wife, Nandini. But, she is constantly berated and ill-treated by other members of the family, especially Shirke-Patil's eldest daughter-in-law, Shalini, who sees Gauri as mere a servant, while her husband, Malhar, sympathises with Gauri. Shirke-Patil's youngest son, Jaydeep returns from London and strives to keep the family united. He is forced to marry Gauri to protect her honour.

Eventually, love blooms between Gauri and Jaydeep. Later, it's revealed that Jaydeep is Surya and his wife, Mangal's son while Gauri is Yashwant and Nandini's daughter. At birth, Gauri was presumed dead and hence Surya has exchanged both kids. Yashwant and Nandini accept both Gauri and Jaydeep as their own children.

Later, Gauri and Jaydeep have a daughter, Lakshmi. Fearing that Shalini might harm Lakshmi, Jaydeep leaves the house with Lakshmi as Gauri refuses to believe him. They are assumed to be dead in a bus accident.

6 years later

Gauri is still in hope for Jaydeep and Lakshmi's return while Shalini has taken over the Shirke-Patil house. Jaydeep lives with Lakshmi in Pune. Eventually, Gauri and Jaydeep reunite and manage to take the house back from Shalini. Later, Shalini tricks and kills Gauri and Jaydeep, along with other family members, except Nandini and Lakshmi.

25 years later

Gauri and Jaydeep are reborn as Nitya and Adhiraj.
