Plot

edit

Ambitious and educated, Sandhya Kothari aspires to fulfill her dream of being an IPS officer for her father Arvind. Sooraj Rathi, a partially-educated and simple young master-confectioner is the perfect elder heir to his middle-class traditional family in Pushkar, Rajasthan. Later, Sandhya is shattered as her parents die in a terrorist attack. Her brother Ankur fixes her marriage to Sooraj whose strict mother, Santosh, wants a simple and uneducated daughter-in-law, with the excellent skills of a housewife. So, Ankur lies about Sandhya's education level and hides the truth about Sooraj to her.

Giving up her education and dreams, Sandhya marries Sooraj. Learning the truth about Ankur's lies Sandhya is disappointed and her distant behaviour confuses Sooraj. Despite initial struggles she gradually bonds with Sooraj seeing his Kind and patient nature. Soon as her truth of being educated and not knowing household skills is revealed, Santosh hates her. Sooraj stands up for her and vows to help Sandhya in becoming the daughter-in-law Santosh wants. Sandhya goes through many troubles but manages to win Santosh acceptance and with time falls in love with Sooraj. She helps Sooraj win an international cooking competition in Singapore and manages to save Pushkar from a terrorist attack. She forgives Ankur who in order to rectify his mistake helps Sooraj learn about Sandhya's IPS dreams. Despite Santosh being against it Sooraj helps her complete her studies and after facing various challenges manages to convinces Santosh to accept her dreams.

Sandhya faces challenges in IPS Academy, establishing as an extraordinary police officer. She struggles to balance between her professional duties and domestic responsibilities but with Sooraj help she is successful. Together with Sooraj, Sandhya forms a relationship with underlying love which is put to test after battling Raj Kumar (a terrorist whose allies hijack the plane which Sooraj and Santosh are travelling in) but emerge victorious. She donates one of her kidneys to Santosh battling for life after the attack, a fact which the family later learns. Ankur's daughter Bulbul greatly wishes for a sibling but his wife Ankita miscarries and is unable to conceive again. Sandhya, expecting twins, decides to give their one twin to Ankita. Eventually, she delivers twin sons Ved and Vansh who get kidnapped. In the rescue, Ved is saved and the unfound Vansh is presumed dead, shattering all. A police officer saves and returns Vansh though promptly. Ankur ends his relationship with Sandhya and takes Vansh with him feeling that Vansh can never be truly theirs otherwise.

Sandhya leaves and enacts to be presumed dead in a train accident. Sooraj loses his dreams and mental stability due to this shock. Due to his condition, Santosh starts hating Sandhya.

Santosh wants Sooraj to marry Laalima Agarwal, who she believes will be able to help him recover. Sandhya battles with the difficulties of Mahabhali and finally sabotages their plan, but her identity is exposed. The terrorists capture and almost torture her to death. Sooraj finds out Sandhya is alive, and joins her on the mission to help. They complete the mission and return home. Santosh refuses to forgive Sandhya and Laalima who has fallen in love with Sooraj lies that she is his wife.

The Rathi family celebrate Laalima and Pramod's wedding.

Santhosh hates Pakistan because of a tragic accident on the border which took her younger brother's life when they were children. Not knowing Arzoo is from Pakistan, she fixes her alliance with Aryan (whom she adopts after his grandmother's death). At first, Sandhya suspects Arzoo of being a terrorist.

Later, Sandhya not only saves Arzoo from the terrible misunderstanding but also helps her get accepted by Santosh. Sandhya and Sooraj battle superstition and later help expose Poorvi's crimes (Sooraj cousin Om's obsessed wife). Sooraj meets with an accident and gets stuck in a wheelchair. Sandhya decides to run his confectionery shop by leaving her job, much to Sooraj, and the family's displeasure.

As Sandhya delivers a daughter named Kanak, Sooraj overcomes his disability and is able to walk to run his shop. Sandhya gets a proposal from commissioner and joins the police again before meeting IPS Arpita Khanna, who considers Sandhya as her rival at first but later becomes among her best allies and assists her in solving various cases.

Soon, Vansh discovers the truth about his birth parents but hates them for giving him away. Four terrorists kill Ankur and Ankita and also take the residents of the Rathis' neighborhood hostage, including them. Sandhya and Sooraj bravely rescue the civilians.

Upon seeing his parents' selflessness and courage, Vansh forgives them and the family is reunited, but not for long. Sandhya and Sooraj unsuccessfully try a trap for the terrorists and punish them. The leader kidnaps Kanak and makes Sandhya and Sooraj eat bomb pills.

Development

edit

20 years back I read a story in a newspaper that talked about a common man – a panipuri seller helping his wife become a civil servant. I just based my show Diya Aur Baati Hum on this incident, which was still afresh in my memory.

— Sumeet Mittal during January 2012[17]

Speaking about the series before its premiere, Nitin Vaidya, the Business Head of StarPlus then said, "It's undeniable that in India, traditionally the women's role is seen as bride, wife or mother, within the geographical parameters of her home. This show aims at breaking that mold and raising public acceptance of women stepping out of their homes towards self-fulfillment. Diya Aur Bati Hum is another testimony of Star Plus' programming ethos – 'Rishta Wahi, Soch Nayi (Same relationship, different thinking)'."[18]

On 8 January 2013, the cast and crew went to Ajmer to shoot a sequence, expected to return to Mumbai on 11 January 2013. However, with the overcrowding of the fans of the series, they could not properly shoot within the estimated time, sometimes halting owing to the rush of people there.[19]

In December 2014, the shoot was disrupted when an air cooler in the sets burst, injuring two technicians.[20] In the same month, it was announced that Bollywood singers Javed Ali and Shilpa Rao would record a song for an upcoming sequence.[21]

In September 2015, for the track of Mission Mahabali, six sets of each dress were made for the cast during the outdoor shoot owing unpredictable weather change and rains.[22]

Gautam Gulati quit the series in September 2014 for participating in Bigg Boss 8 and was replaced by Karan Goddwani as Vikram.[23] In December 2014, Neelu Vaghela playing Santosh decided quit the series owing health issues and her death sequence was also shot.[24] But the popular demand from both viewers and channel made her to continue and the track was altered.[25] In the same month, Shubha Uplopwar replaced Urmila Nimbalkar as Ankita.[26]

In May 2015, Jimmy Shergill was in talks for the role of the Kabaddi coach.[27] But, Shahbaz Khan was confirmed. However, Rituraj Singh got the role due to the creative differences with Khan.[28] In April 2015, Randeep Rai, who was cast for the role Adult Chotu, quit the series in few months and was replaced by Kunal Khosla in January 2016.[29][30] In November 2015, Varun Jain playing Mohit wished to opt out of the series unhappy with his role shaping up and thus his character was killed in the series.[31][32]

From December 2013 for a few months, the main IPS training sequence of lead character Sandhya was shot at Haryana Police Commando Complex in Newal, Karnal and the initial promo of the sequence being shot in a ground at Matunga.[45][46][40] During which, in April 2014 the sequence of a training in Jungle was shot at Ghodbunder road, Thane, Maharashtra.[47]

In March 2015, the storyline took a five years leap.[48] Soon, in the same year, in July, it took a three years leap.[49]

Owing to Diya Aur Baati Hum's huge popularity, Municipal Corporation and Government of Rajasthan renamed a lane in Pushkar as Hanuman Gali.[111] The event was attended by the cast and crew which was held during December 2015.[112] Speaking about it actress Neelu Vaghela who played Santosh said, "Apparently, the show has a great viewership and tourists who visited Pushkar often used to go searching for Hanuman Galli and ask for Sooraj and his jalebi shop. Since this has led to increasing in tourists, I guess the ministry must have come up with this plan. We are excited and the whole team will be going for this event."[113] Lead Deepika Singh stated, "There was a day when I had to run through all the streets in Pushkar for the opening scene of the show. Nobody did recognize me then. But now, as I stood at the same place, the whole crowd present over there was cheering for me and their reactions made me feel so special,"[112]

The poster of the series and the main leads are found in the shops in the areas of Pushkar and Jaipur owing its popularity.[114]
