Plot summary
Parvarrish primarily revolves around two families who are relatives: the Ahluwalias and the Ahujas. It focuses on the troubles they go through in bringing up their children and the lessons they learn from these experiences.

Sweety Ahluwalia (Shweta Tiwari) is very strict with her children, Rocky and Ginny (Tapasvi Mehta, Aashika Bhatia), to the point where they get frustrated with her and secretly rebel. Although she constantly scolds them and complains about their studies, she considers them her life. With her supportive husband Lakvir Singh (Vivek Mushran), she tries to provide them with the best she can.

On the other hand, Sweety's younger sister, Pinky Ahuja (Rupali Ganguly/Barkha Bisht Sengupta), wants to take care of her children, Raavi, Raashi and Sunny (Aanchal Munjal, Sparsh Khanchandani, Rakshit Wahi) by being friends with them. However, her overreacting nature often suffocates her kids and creates problems in the relationship she shares with them. She often finds a supportive friend in her caring and loving husband Jeet (Vishal Singh).
