Ghar Ek Mandir (transl. Home a Mandir) is an Indian television show which aired on Sony TV from 24 April 2000 to 10 January 2002. It was directed By Yatindra Rawat and produced By Balaji Telefilms and Ekta Kapoor.[1][2]
The show centers around a middle-class Indian family headed by Gopal, a retired school principal, his wife Gayatri and their four children. The eldest son Rajesh is married to his love Sapna and has two children - daughter Rinky and son Bunty. The middle son Prem is to be engaged to a lawyer named Aanchal. The third son is Rahul. He is a law graduate but is unable to find any good employment. He is happy-go-lucky and shirks his responsibilities. The three brothers have a younger sister Archana who is immature and materialistic. Unfortunately, Prem dies due to a bomb blast on the day of his engagement to Aanchal, leaving his mother Gayatri in a state of shock. Gayatri desires to see Aanchal as a bride. Aanchal hasn't got over Prem yet while Rahul loves a spoilt rich girl, Mala. But due to family pressure to help Gayatri recover, Rahul and Aanchal get married. They consider this marriage as a sacrifice for their family’s welfare and do not have any intimate feelings for each other. Concurrently, Archana marries Aanchal's brother Vishwajeet, an emerging writer. The lives and stories of different characters are weaved together in this show, but the focus is on how Rahul and Aanchal slowly realize they are each other's soulmates and fall in love. They even end up consummating their marriage accidentally which leads to Aanchal getting pregnant with their first child, Pratham. With the arrival of baby Pratham, Gayatri recovers completely, believing that her Prem has returned to her at last.Throughout the course of the show, Rahul transforms into a more responsible person and together with Aanchal, supports his family.
