[edit] Plot

Hum Paanch was the story of a father, Anand Mathur, who always found himself in trouble because of his five daughters - Meenakshi, Radhika, Sweety, Kajal and Chhoti.

• Meenakshi, the eldest, was a feminist.

• Radhika was intelligent, but nerdy and geeky and couldn't hear or see properly.

• Sweety was a bimbo who wanted to marry Bollywood actors, beauty without brains.

• Kajal was a tomboy and a bully.

• Chhoti, the youngest, was a gossipmonger.

Together they planned on doing something new in every episode. Anand's first wife, who was dead, used to speak to him through her photo in the living room while his second wife, Bina, generally supported her daughters' ideas. The show was a runabout success and helped in establishing Zee tv.

When the show returned for a second season, Anand had returned from a long stay in the U.S. and two of the eldest daughters, Meenakshi and Radhika, were married with a daughter each.^[4]
