The programme adapts the acclaimed international series ‘Shameless’ for an Indian audience. The narrative centres on Anvita, the eldest sister, who assumes responsibility for her five younger siblings. Meanwhile, their father grapples with alcoholism, adding further strain to the household.

The show is an Indian re‑imagining of the well‑known overseas series Shameless. Presented as a programme made up of individual episodes, it falls within the drama genre and follows the format of the original, translating its premise for a local audience. At the heart of the story is Anvita, the oldest of six children. She takes on the responsibility of looking after her five younger siblings while their father battles a drinking problem. The narrative tracks how Anvita manages the household and supports her family in the face of their father's alcoholism. The series concentrates on the day‑to‑day realities of a family coping with limited parental guidance. Each episode highlights the challenges that arise from the father's inability to stay sober and the ways in which Anvita steps into a parental role. By focusing on these dynamics, the programme offers a portrait of sibling solidarity and the pressures that fall on the eldest child when the traditional family structure is strained.
