Their opposite natures initially lead to fights but while practicing for a college play, they develop feelings for each other. Gauri on the other hand is the college topper and actively participates in drama activities. Loosely based on A Walk to Remember, the second season shows Pratham as a rich spoilt brat who is disinterested in studies. The story of Season 2 is completely different from Season 1.
When the media gets whiff of this, the incident is blown out of proportion and their conservative families decide that the two must be married. Pratham loses the Class President election to Gauri and to teach her a lesson locks himself with her in a room insinuating they were fooling around. Nandini's father is remorseful for having chosen the wrong man for her and wants her to remarry but she decides marriage is not for her.Īt the same college, Gauri hates everything Pratham stands for - a lack of principles and his being rich and entitled. Her ex-husband also doesn't want anything to do with their son Shobhit. Pratham's own sister, Nandini ( Poonam Narula) married young as per her father's wishes but the marriage results in divorce. Gauri's family includes her father, mother, sister Preeti and brother Shashank. In contrast, Gauri Agarwal ( Gauri Pradhan Tejwani), comes from a middle class nuclear family and takes no nonsense from anyone. Pratham is revealed to be the spoilt brat in the family and dearly loved by everyone, much to his father Umesh's frustration. The other kids who are also part of the family are Sanskar and Sanskriti, who are Umesh's sister's children. Ajay and Kavita have no kids of their own and instead dote on all the other kids. Sanjay is a widower, who often has imaginary conversations with his late wife Maya ( Sakshi Tanwar) and their three kids are - Siddharth, Riya and Richa. Rajesh is married to Archana and they also have three children - Samay, Tushar and Diya. Of the four Mittal sons, the eldest Umesh is married to Gayatri and has three children - Nandini, Pratham ( Hiten Tejwani) and Gautam. The Mittal family is successful and rich but very grounded in their traditions and culture. They return to their kutumb and live happily ever after. They go through trials and tribulations but emerge victorious in the end, as their relationship stays untarnished. It becomes the reason for the husband and wife to fall in love and start a memorable journey together. At first they are enemies, but end up getting married and living in a large joint family ( kutumb). Pratham is the eldest son of Mittal family, and Gauri hails from a middle-class Agarwal family.
Kutumb meaning family, is the story of Pratham and Gauri, and their interactions with their joint family.
However, both series revolve around the principal characters of Pratham ( Hiten Tejwani) and Gauri ( Gauri Pradhan), and their love and kutumb (family). The show had two seasons but the seasons' plots were not related. The show was aired on 29 October 2001 and went off air on 7 February 2003. Kutumb was a daily Indian television drama telecast on Sony Entertainment Television.
