# Shubh Vivah (2012 TV series)

Shubh Vivah (transl. Happy Wedding) is a 2012 Indian television drama series telecast on Sony TV. It premiered on 27 February 2012 and went off-air on 29 June 2012.
It is loosely based on the popular Tamil serial, Metti Oli, which aired on Sun TV from 2002 to 2005. Apart from initial arc, there is no similarity between the shows.

## Plot

The story begins with Mr. Saxena and his five marriageable daughters who are kind, innocent, and gentle and live in Agra.
A young man from Vrindavan named Amrit manages to impress Mr. Saxena's second daughter, Saroj but in reality he is having an affair with a married woman named Sarla. Saroj and Amrit get married. On the same day Saroj's elder sister, Karuna, marries Mr. Saxena's friend's son, Madan.
After marriage, Saroj learns of Amrit's affair but keeps it to herself. Saroj is desperate to save her marriage but fails. Though his aunt and brother try to make him realise Saroj's importance, Amrit sends her back to her home in Agra. However, after some time, Amrit and his family start missing Saroj and bring her back thus giving a new lease of life to their marriage.
Amrit's mother Kaushalya reveals details of his affair with Sarla to Saroj. She also assaults Saroj and ties her up with ropes. Saroj escapes to find Amrit but walks in on his stabbed dead body. Kaushalya blames Saroj. With help from Vinod and her sisters, Saroj is proved innocent and Sarla's husband is arrested for the murder. Saroj is discovered to be pregnant. While the family plans to get her married to Vinod against both their wishes, Saroj stops the wedding after discovering Vinod and Neelu's relationship. The two are married and the family meet Manthan, Amrit's look-alike, at the wedding.

Saroj has been married to Manthan and they are raising their son who they have named Amrit. Madan and Karuna, too, have a son named Rohan. Thus, the story ends on a good note.
