It's an Indian adaptation of the well‑known international series 'Shameless'. Produced as a television programme and structured in an episodic format, it brings the original concept to an Indian audience, preserving the central premise while situating it within a local cultural context. The adaptation aims to translate the spirit of the source material for viewers in India. The narrative follows Anvita, the eldest of six children, who finds herself thrust into the role of caretaker.
