Basically, Maheshwari and Aggarwal both are Marwaris and belong to Vaishya community. So they have the same cast. But there are many sub casts in this community. Maheswari and Aggarwal are two of major among them. That's why Taiji said, is specifically that we don't even go out of sub cast and Arjun thought of going out of religion. Sameer is Maheshwari and Naina is Aggarwal.As as per Sameer being adopted by Nanaji, that stil doesnt make sameer not Maheshwari. Because Maheshwari cast people can have a different surname. Even Somani can be Maheshwaris and most probably they are. Those days it wasn't common to get married in another cast through arranged marriage.
