Every new day is a new start. It brings a lot of possibilities, solutions to the problems, due miracles and whatnot. It’s a new chance; you can always start afresh. This is what everyone in the Raichand family believes. They try to start afresh and believe that things get better with time.

It’s eight in the morning, everyone is awake. Sanjeev and Vineet are discussing something while Lata and Mrinal are settling the breakfast table. Ever since Vineet started handling the business, he often discusses one or another thing with his chachu. Sanjeev has not only been his father figure but also his mentor in the business world. Vineet never takes any decision without consulting with Sanjeev. On the other hand, Viren is studying business administration, grooming himself to help his brother in business affairs.

Lata observes the two men and adores them for a moment. Being the firstborn in the family, Vineet holds her heart as well. However, she also loves to tease them so she looks at Mrinal, who’s setting the dining table.

"Dekha Didi, subah hui nahi ki dono kaam pe lag gaye. Breakfast karne tak bhi nahi ruk sakte.”  Lata exclaims.

"Ab business sambhal bhi toh in dono ne hi rakha hai. Mera office jana toh tumne aur Sanjeev ne band karva diya." Mrinal says this while looking at her son and brother-in-law.

"Ab jab main sambhal sakta hoon toh aap kyun takleef karengi, Bhabhi. Aur ab toh Vineet ne bhi sab kuch bahut achche se sambhal liya hai.” Sanjeev praises his nephew.

“Exactly, maa, ab kaam toh karna padega na. Aap log chinta mat karo, sab manage ho jayega.” Vineet says, trying to convince his elders.

“Han, lekin breakfast karne tak ruk sakte ho naa? Lekin nahi, dono chachu aur bhatija pehle se hi kaam mein lag gaye. Kitni baar kaha hai office ghar nahi laate.” Lata pretends to scold them.

“Maa! Aap hi kehti ho na ki gussa nahi karna chahiye fir kyun gussa karti ho? Main kuch discuss kar raha tha chachu se. Lekin abhi band, aap gussa mat karo.” He says, hugging her from her waist.

“Hmm, bahut baatein banane laga hai tu, haan? Maa…Maa keh kar sab baatein manvaane lage hai. Ab chupchap baith ke naashta kar.” She says this, making him sit on the table.

“Okay okay! Vaise Ma, bas kuch dinon ki baat hai, fir aap Chachu ke sath enjoy kar sakti ho. Bas ek mahine ke baad Viren bhi join kar lega na toh Chachu aaram kar sakte hai. Obviously, aa[ki permission ke bina hum koi decision nahi lenge.” Vineet tries to convince her.

“Sounds Perfect, my son!” Sanjeev says it dramatically while the other three laugh.

Meanwhile, Angel comes by and clings on her brothers’ shoulders. She finds Sanjeev laughing, and a mischief twinkles in her eyes.

"Chachu, akele akele kya planning kar rahe ho?" She asks as she picks up her cup of coffee.

"Hum na teri shadi ki planning kar rahe hain. Maine chachu se kaha hai ki tere liye ladka dhundhna shuru kare.” Vineet jokes.

“Arey, why me? Kal toh Maa, aapki shadi ki baat kar rahi thi? Aap sabse bade ho toh pehle aap hi shadi karo. Hamare liye ek pyaari si bhabhi le aao na.” Angel retorts.

"Nope! Tujhe hi shadi ki jaldi hain toh pehle hum teri shadi kar denge.”  Vineet begins teasing her.

"Mumma! Jaldi se bahu le aao. Aapka beta bigadta ja raha hai." Angel says teasingly.

“Angel, kyun uske peeche padi hai?” Lata chides her.

" Chhoti Maa, aap zyada bhaiya ki side mat lo. Bade bhaisahab kuch sunte hi nahi hain aajkal.  Isliye aap dono bahu dhundhna shuru kardo.” Angel says it teasingly.

“Han, exactly, hamesha inko koi na koi kaam rehta hain. Inko seedha karne ke liye wife ki zarurat hai.” Naina comments, as she comes to the dining table and settles on the chair.

“Itna bada business sambhalta hain, kaam toh rahega hi na, beta!” Mrinal says; taking her son’s side.

“Badimaa, kab tak bhaiya ki side logi?  Kabhi toh hamari baat suna karo.” Priyanka says, as she hugs  Mrinal.

“Achcha achcha, toh tum log hi dhundh lo, ya apne bhai se keh do, meri pasand toh pata nahi isey pasand aayegi ya nahi.” Mrinal shrugs her shoulders.

“Maa, maine kaha na aapko jo karna hai karo, mujhe toh office jaana hai. Ek important meeting hai.” He responds, his cheeks showing a slight shade of red.

Vineet glances at Sanjeev and the two men leave the room leaving the girls to giggle. Meanwhile, the three sisters sit to have breakfast when Angel’s eyes shine with mischief.

“Pree, tu music academy khol le! Kab tak tu Serenity Music Academy mein jaati rahegi? It’s time for some newness.” Angel says it teasingly.

“It’s not that easy! Vahan pe bachche hain jo mujhse seekhna chahte hain. Aur phir ekdum se kaise chhod dun. It’s been so many years, pehle main khud wahan seekhti thi aur ab sikhati hun.” Priyanka says she’s in a dilemma about her next step.

Priyanka works at Serenity Music Academy; her soul finds solace in music. She is a software developer by profession, but she has a great passion for music, so she works at Serenity Academy.

On the other hand, Naina works as an investigative journalist at CogniSpark News Agency. She’s an ace journalist and works with perfection. She doesn’t like nuances in her work and she can go to any extent to attain perfection in her work. She announces that she has an urgent meeting and she might get late in the evening.

On the other hand, as Angel begins to speak, her phone rings and she makes a face. She doesn’t like to answer phones when she’s with her family. But as she checks her phone, the expression on her face changes and she attends the call. She’s a little surprised and then, after disconnecting the call, she turns to the elders and tells them that she has to leave urgently for a business meeting.  Priyanka and Naina follow suit, while Mrinal and Lata watch them go.

A big day has just begun.

Shekhawat house

It’s a chaotic morning in the Shekhawat House. Anamika has already left for school, her mother is in the kitchen while Mahesh is talking on the phone. It seems like a business call. He assures the caller that he will meet them in an hour after which he ends the call.

The Shekhawats, mainly, Ashwin and Mahesh are into the healthcare business. Ashwin is a doctor by profession, and specialises in neurology. Mahesh has initiated this business in hospital and healthcare services by the name Bloom Healthcare Private Limited. Moreover, they also have a hospital by the same name as their business enterprises. On the other hand, the youngest of three brothers, Kabir, is an investigative editor at Nexus News and Media Networks. He often helps his brothers in business but he’s more into journalism. He believes that the common people need to take a stand for themselves; otherwise, they will always be overruled.

"Kitni baar kaha hai, Mahesh, office ke calls office mein rakho, lekin nahi, tum ko samajh hi nahi aata. Ashwin ka toh samajh aata hai lekin tu, tu toh office ke calls ghar mat laaya kar.” Mamta chides him.

"Maa! Wo nahi sunenge. Business wale log hai." Kabir says it jokingly.

“Arey, zaroori phone tha, kuch medical equipment available karvane hai.” Mahesh states his point. 

"Haan toh!! Mujhe bhi hota hai kaam, lekin main aapki tarah nahi karta. Office aur ghar dono alag rakhta hoon.” Kabir says teasingly.

Mahesh smiles at his brother. Kabir has always been a fun-loving guy and his words didn’t hurt anyone, they know, Mamta doesn’t like them working at home.

"Ash kahan hai?" Mahesh looks at Mamta questioningly.

" I'm home!" Ash greets the other three as he enters the home..

"Kahan gaye they? Koi girlfriend bana li kya?" Kabir teases him while ashwin glares at him, it’s the usual banter between Ashwin and Kabir.

“Arey, ghoorte kyun ho? Girlfriend hai toh maa ko bata do. Ma ki tension kam ho jayegi, unko unki bahut se bhi milva do.” Kabir jokes, earning a slap on his arm.

“Ladkiyon ke peeche toh tu jaata hai. Mujhe usse bhi zaroori kaam hote hain. Anu ko school se chhod ke aaya toh Ishika cab ka wait kar rahi thi, usko halfway drop kia maine, isliye late ho gaya!” Ashwin exclaims.

“Ishika toh derr se jaati hai na? Kya hua aaj?” Mahesh asks.

"Haan! Aaj koi meeting hai uski. Maine kaha bhi ruk jaye wo. Hum direct office drop kar dete usko. But she seemed in a hurry." Ashwin says this as he sips his black coffee.

Meanwhile, he gets a phone call and he rushes to get ready. It seems like it’s an emergency in the hospital. On the other hand, Kabir and Mahesh are discussing something. Mamta watches her sons in silence. They have grown up so big and are handling the business with ease. All her sons have grown up so beautifully. She lost her husband when Anamika was an year old. Since then, Mamta has brght up all her children singlehandedly.

The three brothers have grown protective of their little sister. She is well aware that she doesn't have to worry about her children. They will hold onto each other. Mahesh and Kabir notice her and then hug her from both sides.

“Ab kya ho gaya, Ma? Kyun ho rahi ho itni emotional?” Kabir asks.

"Han, bolo kya hua? Ab toh sab achcha hai na." Mahesh says while wiping the drop of tears that’s trickling down her cheek.

"Jaanti hoon. Tum log itne bade jo ho gaye ho. Ab toh mujhe koi chinta hi nahi hai. Bas kuch puraani yaadein tazaa ho gayi.” Mamta says.

"Gham they, Khushi thi, wo ab bhi honge, Ma. Par hum sath hai na, toh sab acha hoga." Ashwin says, as he holds her hand and kisses her knuckles.

“I know! Mere itne achche bachche jo hain.” Mamta says as she adores them.

“Bas ab 2 bahuein dhundh lo.” Kabir chuckles, attempting to lighten the moment.

“Sabse pehle iski shaadi karva do. Dekh raha hoon, subah se mere peeche pada hai, kabhi shadi toh kabhi girlfriend.” Ashwin says it in an irked tone.

“Pehle bade bhaiyon ki shadi honi chahiye na.” Kabir says innocently.

"Tujhe hi jaldi hai, mujhe aur bhai ko nahi hai." Ashwin retorts at the moment.

Mahesh laughs at the cute banter of his brothers. Meanwhile, Mamta chides them that they are getting late, and so forth, the three of them leave for their office.

Singhaniya house

The house ladies are settling the breakfast table, and their husbands join them. Anoop is the first one to notice the absence of their children.

“Bachche kahan gaye?” He asks.

“Taiyar ho rahe honge. Aur Dushyant toh so raha tha, raat ko derr tak kaam kar raha tha toh.” Puja informs him while settling the table.

“Achcha, toh bula lo sabko. Nahi toh sab jaldi jaldi mein khayenge.” Anoop says, he’s worried for the wellbeing of her kids.

Meanwhile, Mishti comes rushing to the dining table. He fills a glass of juice for herself. She seems to be in a hurry. She is an event manager and owns a company called Mishti Collective: Exotic Event Management Company. She’s well-known for her work in the events industry and she has the best team for it.

Meanwhile, Puja chides her for not having the breakfast. Mishti assures her that she will have something in the office but Pallavi hands her a lunch box. Mishti hugs her and then leaves for her office. At the same time ,Swara comes by and sits down for breakfast. And at the same time, they hear Sachin calling for Ruhana.

"Ruhana! Jaldi kar na. Late ho jayenge. Zaroori meeting hai.” Sachin calls for her.

"Ek toh last moment mein batate ho meeting ke baare mein! Main udhar kya bolungi, bhai? Aur abhi khud hi jaldi kar rahe ho. So bad!" Ruhana says this as she comes by the dining table.

“Mumma, dekhlo! Aise kaam karte hai ki kuch yaad hi nahi rehta. Kal raat ko bole ki subah meeting hai, aur ab jaldi karte hai. Bilkul papa ki tarah.” Ruhana makes a face.

“Sorry naa! Ab jaldi kar. Hum wahin restaurant mein breakfast kar lenge.” Sachin suggests and Ruhana agrees.

Sachin and Ruhana have two different meetings to attend. He drops Ruhana outside Hotel Taj, where she has a meeting and drives to his destination.

Ruhana walks inside the hotel and finds her way to the conference room when a catches her attention, and she stands surprised and touched.
