Story of Gokulathil Seethai

The story is about a girl named Vasundhara, or Vasu. She comes from a regular family and works in a flower shop. Vasu lives with her mother, stepfather, younger half-sister, and her grandmother, Gandhimati. Gandhimati is not very kind to Vasu and her mother. This is because of something bad that happened a long time ago.

On the other side, there's a rich lady named Suchitra. Her first son, Arjun, is a bit careless and doesn't always listen to his mother. Suchitra is worried about Arjun because of an old accident. Both families are connected by this past event.

The Past Accident

Years ago, Suchitra, her husband JKR, and their young son Arjun were in a car. Arjun, who was a child, wanted to drive. His dad, JKR, let him sit in front and pretend to drive. A soda can got stuck under the brake pedal. JKR couldn't stop the car, and it hit an old man before crashing into a tree. JKR sadly passed away, but Arjun and Suchitra's unborn baby were safe.

At the same time, on the very same day, Gandhimati was learning to drive. She also hit the same old man. This old man was Vasu's grandfather, Krishnamoorthy. He was waiting for a bus with young Vasu and her mother. After being hit twice, he was badly hurt and died.

How the Families Connect

Because of this sad event, Vasu's mother was left without her father. Gandhimati's brother then married Vasu's mother to help them. This is why Gandhimati dislikes Vasu and her mother. It's also why Suchitra worries so much about Arjun. The show follows how these two families, linked by a past tragedy, deal with their lives and relationships.
