''Behind every successful man there is a woman'' is the thought upon which Dharampatni is based.
Dharampatni is the story of Kastur – a simple, traditional Gujarati girl who gets married to Mohan. Mohan too belongs to the Gujarati community but has studied abroad and returned to India. Unbeknown to Kastur, Mohan agrees to marry her due to personal constraints rather than for love. Mohan has no affection or respect for Kastur as he looks down upon all Gujarati cultural values and traditional beliefs that Kastur embodies. Apart from being trapped in a loveless marriage; Kastur is in for a further shock when she finds out that Mohan is a good for nothing, who did not get a degree abroad and instead wasted all his time & resources. Instead of ruing her plight; through the strength of her character and her selfless spirit – Kastur transforms Mohan from a common man into a great one. She makes Mohan believe in and achieve his true potential as a Gujarati. The show focuses upon Kastur's silent struggles, sacrifices and contributions which while going unnoticed; shape Mohan's journey towards greatness.

The story is about the mohan who is sent abroad at a young and returns after completing his studies, when he returns there will be a behavioural change he will be portrayed as arrogant and a spoilt brat that shows no affection towards his wife, this behavioural change that he undergoes which will make the character look grey. His ideologies will be different from the others. There will be situations wherein his thought process counters the society, but the character is not completely grey. His wife on the other hand is very righteous towards him and always puts him first. She fulfils all her duties as his wife and cares for him immensly. She is a women that will do anything for her husbands and family's wellbeing and happiness. Although he pays no attention to her she is still very loyal and passionate about him and treats him like god. Later on throughout the story his character changes and he becomes more loving towards his wife. The main character is alike Gandhi and their relationship as husband and wife ressembles Gandhi and Kasturba. But the story will not be completely based on him. In this story Kastur will be portrayed approximately 19 years of age.

Update by Episode

Episode 1

Kastur is introduced in Radha's avatar as she relentlessly pursues the sound of Krishna's flute. Just as she is about to hold Krishna's hand - Kastur's dream breaks. Kastur's mother is introduced & we establish that Kastur has a special connect with somebody called 'Mohan' about whom everybody in her family teases her. Kastur's family is introduced as a family filled with love & laughter. Amidst this revelry - Mohan's pic is seen from Kastur's pov. Meanwhile, the family atmosphere is marred as seeds of tension are sown over Sonal's (Kastur's Sis in Law) Seemant ceremony. Jasuben (Kastur's dadi) obliterates Kasturs' worries regarding the same as they rush out for a movie. At the mall; Kastur witnesses a girl being rude to Jasu and condescendingly jeering her for being a Gujju. Kastur stands up for her dadi and puts the girl in her place by giving a strong & emotionally powerful rejoinder. Kastur's words establish her character firmly as that of a girl deeply rooted in gujrati tradition & culture; proud not only of her region but also her identity as an Indian. Kastur's emotional spiel is met with resounding applause by curious onlookers.

Episode 2

As they exit the mall; Kastur's bag is stolen. Unafraid for her own safety; Kastur pursues the thief. The thief empties her bag of the money & throws it into a ditch. Jasu reaches Kastur & scolds her for doing something so dangerous. Wordlessly, Kastur takes out a Krishna idol & Mohan's pic and Jasu realises the reasons which prompted Kastur's daredevilry. En route for her dance rehearsal; Kastur sees Sudhir (Sonal's father) on the road. She calls out to him but to no avail. Kastur picks up the envelope; mistakenly dropped by Sudhir & is shocked upon seeing the contents. Kastur reaches home only to see Sudhir extending the same invitation to Jitu (Kastur's father). Jitu realises that Sonal's parents and his son (Pradeep) have decided to do the seemant at a fancy hall rather than their home; as per custom. Jitu tells Pradeep that he will not be coming for the seemant. Bhanu bhai (Mohan's father) is introduced as Jitu's old friend. Through him, other characters in Mohan's house including his authoritarian dada - Kanti Bhai are introduced. It is established that there is some issue within the family over Mohan.

He gives her a telling off & categorically states that the women of his household are responsible for purely taking care of domestic issues, handling the home and have no business interjecting in matters of money or other issues which are the men's responsibility. (Mohan's mother) is introduced at the rehearsal hall as a dominating lady who always likes having her way.

Meanwhile, Jasuben attempts to convince Jitu to attend Sonal's seemant ceremony. Jasu explains to Jitu that whilst there can be a difference of opinion amongst individuals it should result in differences of hearts which would divide the family & mar their happiness & togetherness.
