Saras & Kumud Full Story

Young aristocrat Saraswatichandra Laxminandan (Saras Vyas), who lives in Dubai is introverted due to his mother’s suicide and rejects an arranged marriage by his father with his friend Vidyachatur Desai’s daughter Kumud, informing her by letter. She challenges him to inform her father, and so Saras travels to her village named Ratnanagari in Ahmedabad district, Gujarat, India, gains familiarity with her family, and gradually falls in love with her.

On his return to Dubai, Saras finds a letter from his mother, Saraswati, explaining that she committed suicide due to his father having an affair with Ghuman. That letter was written by his stepmother, Ghuman. Saras disowns his father and decides not to marry Kumud because he cannot support her without his family’s wealth.

To save her family’s reputation, Kumud rushes into a marriage with Pramad, the son of a politician. Saras realizes his mistake and tries to stop the wedding, but is beaten up by thugs. Kumud finds that her husband is an abusive alcoholic but resolves to change him. Pramad’s sister Alak finds Saras and brings him to the family home to recover. Saras vows to change Pramad’s ways. Pramad’s father also wants Pramad to change and hires Saras as his secretary, which makes Pramad jealous.

Pramad pretends to be a changed man but tries to kill Kumud with the help of maid Kalika. Saras rescues Kumud, who separates from Pramad and returns to her family home. However, Kalika enters the household by marrying Kumud’s cousin Yash. Pramad attempts to abduct Kumud, but his goons take her sister Kusum. Saras saves Kusum, who develops feelings for him but agrees to marry another. Pramad sends evidence of Kusum’s kidnapping to the groom’s family, who call off the wedding. To save the family’s reputation, Kumud convinces her family to allow Saras to marry Kusum. Saras agrees, but plots to have Kusum married to his younger stepbrother Danny, who loves her. Kusum gradually recognizes Danny’s love and returns his feelings. Pramad travels abroad for medical treatment, abandoning Kumud and facilitating her divorce. Kumud marries Saras, who reconciles with his father Laxminandan. Laxminandan meets with an accident with the car of a man, Kabir.

After the wedding, Kabir helps the families when Laxminandan falls into a coma.

Actually, he is pretending to help Ghuman take revenge from her. Kumud finds out Kabir’s truth. Kumud learns about Ghuman’s elder sister Menaka and Ghuman’s secret. Kumud goes to that place where Ghuman used to work as a dancer before marrying Laxminandan. Kumud is kidnapped and again rescued by Saras.

Ghuman’s friend Sunanda reveals to Saras and Kumud that Ghuman had paid a governess to kill a baby 21 years earlier. Vidyachatur’s younger sister Dugba who was Saraswati’s friend tells Saras and Kumud after that Saraswati was pregnant for a second time, but she suffered a miscarriage, and Laxminandan blamed her for the miscarriage; that’s why she killed herself. Then she searches in that hospital in which Saraswati was admitted at the time of her delivery. She learns that her baby was alive and was swapped with a stillborn baby, and Dugba tells this to Saras and Kumud. They doubt Ghuman.

Saras and Kumud confront Menaka for her and Ghuman’s secret, and Menaka reveals Kabir’s identity as Saras’s younger brother, thought to have died in infancy, and that he is actually seeking vengeance on Ghuman for separating him from his family. He was raised by Menaka because Menaka wanted to take revenge from Ghuman and to take her property. Ghuman learns of this and has Kabir kidnapped in London, with Saras and Kumud going to save him. Meanwhile, Ghuman uses Kalika to try to separate Danny and Kusum. Kalika reveals the truth and is divorced and disowned by Yash. Ghuman tries to kill Saras, Kumud and Kabir, but they are saved. Laxminandan awakens and disowns Ghuman, who is arrested. Saras and Kabir both reconcile with their father.
