Bhaavnao Ko Samjho literally translated (understand the emotions) starts with a multi-millionaire, Himmatlal, who has lost his elder son and daughter-in-law in an accident and is survived by his grand daughter Suman and younger son Sunderlal.
After the death of Himmatlal the whole property according to the will gets transferred to the grand daughter, Suman who was studying abroad and Sunderlal is left wanting. Thus he starts making every possible effort to get back the property on his name.
He makes all the wrong promises and compromises to get back what he felt was rightfully his and thus goes to limits to attain it.
