I would say the only similarity I find with SGP is the slice of life aspect and lack of OTT-ness.
Otherwise, there are many differences...Suhana was a crazy brat while Meera is not...she may be irresponsible and lacking focus, but she isn't belligerent like Suhana generally was.
The other major difference is that Ishaan and his family in SGP were not dysfunctional like Abhi's family is in this case...there was a solid family structure there despite Bade Papa having abandoned them...here, it's Abhi who's barely holding the family together while everyone else shirks responsibility and a desire to get along.
In SGP, the main premise was about Suhana integrating into a happy, compassionate, loving joint family...while in this case, it seems more like a case of mutual evolution with both Meera and the crazy Pant family having to adjust to each other and evolve along the way. Also, Ishaan and Abhi are poles apart...Ishaan was a mousy, bullied kid while Abhi is much more responsible and takes charge as the man of the house.
