Furthering its commitment to promote happiness, Sony SAB is back with yet another unique offering in collaboration with JD Majethia and Aatish Kapadia. Set against the backdrop of Pune, ‘Bhakharwadi’ is a lighthearted take on ideological differences between a Marathi and Gujarati family competing with each other, in the Bhakharwadi business and more. This slice of life series will see versatile actors like Deven Bhojani and Paresh Ganatra coming back together on television after a long time. ‘Bhakharwadi’ launches on 11th February, from Monday to Friday at 8:00 p.m. only on Sony SAB.
The show introduces viewers to the Gokhale family headed by Balkrishna Gokhale aka Anna, played by Deven Bhojani and the Thakkar family headed by Mahendra Thakkar played by Paresh Ganatra.

Anna, who is a man of strong principles is constantly challenged in business by the more unconventional and modern Gujarati farsaan shop owner, Mahendra with his tricks and acumen. Constantly at loggerheads, the Gokhale and Thakkar business witnesses a new twist with a love story blossoming between their kids amidst the rivalry.
When Gayatri Thakkar played by Akshita Mudgal moves in next door with her family, Gokhale’s youngest son, Abhishek Gokhale played by Akshay Kelkar instanly bonds with her and they gradually fall in love. Anna dotes on Akshay and feels that he is the most suitable heir of the ancestral Gokhale bhakharwadi business and the only one with whom he could share the secret recipe. Gayatri, on the other hand, is an ayurvedic nutritionist, a kind and genereous girl who believes in serving and helping the poor. She loves her father but also respects Anna for his righteousness and discipline. Being from a small nuclear family, she loves the idea of a big joint family, sticking to their culture and traditions, like the Gokhales’.
