Plot

Saas Bahu lays emphasis on the harsh reality of society where women often destroy harmony in not only their own life but also in the lives encircling them. It touches upon the fact that at times, close relations become the reason of distress in the lives of a happily married couple. Part of this drama serial also indicates that most of the miseries men go through in life are due to the politics women play in their lives. It captures the antics and politics women involve themselves in. The writer's work seems to be influenced with the saying: "Men can hurt my body, but women scar my soul", which is said to be experience by all but denied by many.
