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.


Hey really thanks for the info I was not aware...let see how Samaina overcome this

I am a Maheshwari. So according to my knowledge there are a lot of sub caste in marwaris. Agrawal is very vast. There are other subcaste like Gupta, Garg, Goyal etc but some of the families using these surnames are also agrawals.
Maheshwari and Agrawal are very similar in terms of the rituals and traditions they follow. Hence I think Taiji said Maheshwari and not any other caste.

But I agree she did say in puja's wedding to find a girl for Sameer from her mayaka family.
