Plot 
Kehvatlal Parivar is a fun-packed story of Raju Bhai Thakar (Siddharth Randeria) and his family. Raju Bhai is glued to his family values and is quite steady about following his old-fashioned/traditional ideas. He has Kehvats for every moment and situation. His son (Bhavya Gandhi) shares his modern and relevant business ideas and the daughter (Shraddha Dangar) has some interesting cooking recipes but Raju Bhai never allows them to experiment. His sister (Vandana Pathak) who is lazy, lives with Raju Bhai. She spends her time playing games and on social media. His cousin (Sanjay Goradia) adopts modern ideas and hence always challenges Rajubhai in business. Their life takes interesting turn when Raju Bhai's wife Kalindi (Supriya Pathak) returns in their house. Infused with laughter, Kehvatlal Parivar is a story of an extraordinarily crazy family who despite the difficulties and differences they always stick together.
