Source-derived summary

Ek Ghar Banaunga (English: I Will Make a Family Home) is an Indian television soap opera broadcast on StarPlus. The series premiered on 29 April 2013 and 7 June 2014 which starred Rahul Sharma and Ishita Dutta.

Synopsis

Poonam, is faced with the dilemma of how to provide for her parents when she is not around after her marriage, because an ancient Indian tradition says "post marriage, a girl is expected to leave her parental home and take care of her in-laws." Poonam's only brother has settled in the United States, and could not care less about his responsibility for his parents, as he considers them a burden. But life has planned something else for Poonam – her marriage is fixed with Gautam, who comes from a selfish, greedy and conspiring family who does not care about the marriage, but only for the dowry which they demanded for. On her wedding day to Gautam, Poonam realises the true colours of Gautam's family, and breaks her marriage with him. On the same day, she is married to Aakash, the male protagonist of the story, as well as Poonam's wedding planner, who had been secretly in love with her. Poonam's family decides this marriage, as Aakash is a sensible man and after this day no one else would want to marry Poonam. The problem arises, as Aakash marries Poonam without informing his family, and his family utterly rejects Poonam. However, Poonam is given six months to leave the house, but in that time she wins everybody's heart and becomes an ideal daughter-in-law. Meanwhile, Poonam's parents are left alone to cope with their situation when Aakash sees her concern and decides to bring her parents' home.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Ek Ghar Banaunga” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Ghar, Banaunga and television provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16249635. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2013 and 2014.

Critical limits

Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
