''Behind every successful man there is a woman'' is the thought upon which Dharampatni is based.
Dharampatni is the story of Kastur – a simple, traditional Gujarati girl who gets married to Mohan. Mohan too belongs to the Gujarati community but has studied abroad and returned to India. Unbeknown to Kastur, Mohan agrees to marry her due to personal constraints rather than for love. Mohan has no affection or respect for Kastur as he looks down upon all Gujarati cultural values and traditional beliefs that Kastur embodies. Apart from being trapped in a loveless marriage; Kastur is in for a further shock when she finds out that Mohan is a good for nothing, who did not get a degree abroad and instead wasted all his time & resources. Instead of ruing her plight; through the strength of her character and her selfless spirit – Kastur transforms Mohan from a common man into a great one. She makes Mohan believe in and achieve his true potential as a Gujarati. The show focuses upon Kastur's silent struggles, sacrifices and contributions which while going unnoticed; shape Mohan's journey towards greatness.

The story is about the mohan who is sent abroad at a young and returns after completing his studies, when he returns there will be a behavioural change he will be portrayed as arrogant and a spoilt brat that shows no affection towards his wife, this behavioural change that he undergoes which will make the character look grey. His ideologies will be different from the others. There will be situations wherein his thought process counters the society, but the character is not completely grey. His wife on the other hand is very righteous towards him and always puts him first. She fulfils all her duties as his wife and cares for him immensly. She is a women that will do anything for her husbands and family's wellbeing and happiness. Although he pays no attention to her she is still very loyal and passionate about him and treats him like god. Later on throughout the story his character changes and he becomes more loving towards his wife. The main character is alike Gandhi and their relationship as husband and wife ressembles Gandhi and Kasturba. But the story will not be completely based on him. In this story Kastur will be portrayed approximately 19 years of age.
