Ghar Jamai revolves around a North Indian father-in-law (Satish Shah) and his South Indian son-in-law (R Madhavan). Their continuous bickering and trying to take each other down is the premise of the show. A Punjabi father-in-law, Mr Mehra, who never left a chance to trouble his Malayali live-in son-in-law, Subramaniam Namboodiripad AKA Subbu. However, quick-witted Subbu always managed to foil Mehra's plans. The duo was always at loggerheads, and their chemistry was the USP of the show. While the father-in-law and the son-in-law loved to hate each other, Chandni (Mandira Bedi) used to get caught in the crossfire. In the show Satish Shah's Mr Mehra and Madhavan's Subbu are like Tom and Jerry, always trying to get the best of each other. Ghar Jamai came to an end when Madhavan decided to quit the show after Mani Ratnam offered him Alaipayuthey. He gained instant recognition with the Tamil film and went on to deliver many hits down South.
