The show narrates the story of a father, his two daughters, and the immense love they have for each other. The father's (or guardian's) joy and relief at seeing the girl well-established are mixed with sorrow and anxiety at being separated from her. The show's title invokes the poignant emotions of a bride's father or guardian ( baabul) when his beloved daughter or ward gets married and departs for her husband's house. The theme of the show explores the connotations of this word. It is also the name of a wedding ritual which marks the departure of the bride from her parental home.
