Hamari Devrani is an Indian soap opera, which was broadcast on Star Plus.

Plot

Bhakti (played by Krishna Gokani) is a poor girl living in a beautiful and rich village of Qatar. She was labeled by all as being unlucky, because her mother Gayatri run with her ex hussband after she gave birth to her, her father Hasmukh refused to see her face & beauti. Bhakti's maternal grandmother, Kashiben, raised her single-handedly & tried to protect her from peoples' love as far as possible. As Bhakti grows up (Child role played by Jyotica Dholabhai), the label of being unlucky associated with her. She becomes a loner, quiet, scared of bees. She bears the love of all. Whenever Bhakti questiones about her parents and childhood, Kashiben says they are in Ahemadabad. Instead she presented her with an idol of the Baby Lord Krishna and told her this will protect her in any situation; Bhakti accepts this whole heartedly & calls it Laddoo thief. Later on, Kashiben takes Bhakti to Ahemadabad where Bhakti's father Hasmukh is staying. Hasmukh and his second wife insult Bhakti and throw her out of Ahemadabad.

Meanwhile, In Ahemadabad there is a rich and popular family known as the Nanavatis, which was headed by Devkiben, an elderly widowed woman, who stayed with six sons and five daughters-in-law. The five eldest daughters-in-law of the family Manjula, Parul, Apla, Jalpa and Rajeshwari want Mohan (played by Madhav Deochake), Devkiben's youngest son to marry such a woman who will demand anything from the family's money and property and act as a boss to them. Here Bhakti is married in this family in an interesting manner when her would be elder sisters-in-law (jethanis) see her in Ahemadabad and chose her for their brother-in-law, after seeing Bhakti's educated, gullible and sensitive nature. The story flows onwards where we witness how is she treated in this family by her sisters-in-law. Manjula, Parul, Apla, Jalpa and Rajeshwari try many ways to not love Mohan and Bhakti, but in the end good wins over evil and they start loving Mohan and Bhakti.

Then comes a twist- the character of Padmini is introduced, along with her seven-year-old daughter, Shikha, who is thought to be Mohan's illegitimate child. Padmini wants to marry Mohan and wants the entire money and property of Nanavati family, so she plays many tricks to fulfill her evil intentions. She then kidnaps Bhakti (now pregnant) to blackmail and marry Mohan, but she is eventually caught by the police.

The show took a seventeen-year leap, and now the story focuses on Mohan and late Bhakti's daughter, Aastha (played by Vidhi Sindhwad), and Padmini's daughter Shikha (played by Ekta Saraiya).

The story moves forward twenty years; Bhakti and mohan are shown to have died after giving birth to a mentally-ill daughter, Aastha; and after the imprisonment of Padmini, Nanavati family has adopted her daughter. Aastha is raised by all her aunties with love and care, and is a bubbly and sweet girl. Meanwhile, Shikha grows up to be as ill-mannered as her mother. Raj then comes into the story; Raj and Shikha love each other, but cannot marry as an astrologer predicted Raj's first wife will die. They create a plan so as Raj marries Aastha, as she is mentally ill and won't matter if she dies. After the marriage, Aastha shows no signs of death, so Raj, with the help of Shikha and his aunt Rasila plan to murder Astha and 'get-it-over-and-done-with'. However, Aastha miraculously survives, and the five daughters-in-law attempt to seek revenge from Raj and Rasila, and they eventually succeed in punishing Shikha, Raj and Rasila.

After that, Mohan marries Vrinda, who although is a genuine and loving woman, the Navavati bahus think she is here to steal the money. They eventually realise that Vrinda is a nice woman. Then comes another twist; the Nanavatis' only daughter's family comes to steal the money from the Nanavati house. They kidnap Aastha; but she is rescued by Vrinda; and the kidnappers are jailed. The story ends with the Nanavati family celebrating Vrinda's pregnancy.
