== Plot ==
''Kehvatlal Parivar'' is a fun-packed story of Raju Bhai Thakar ([[Siddharth Randeria]]) and his family. Raju Bhai is glued to his family values and is quite steady about following his old-fashioned/traditional ideas. He has Kehvats for every moment and situation. His son ([[Bhavya Gandhi]]) shares his modern and relevant business ideas and the daughter ([[Shraddha Dangar]]) has some interesting cooking recipes but Raju Bhai never allows them to experiment. His sister ([[Vandana Pathak]]) who is lazy, lives with Raju Bhai. She spends her time playing games and on social media. His cousin ([[Sanjay Goradia]]) adopts modern ideas and hence always challenges Rajubhai in business. Their life takes interesting turn when Raju Bhai's wife Kalindi ([[Supriya Pathak]]) returns in their house. Infused with laughter, ''Kehvatlal Parivar'' is a story of an extraordinarily crazy family who despite the difficulties and differences they always stick together.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |author=Seta |first=Keyur |date=12 April 2022 |title=Kehvatlal Parivar trailer: Siddharth Randeria is in good form in this family laugh riot |work=Cinestaan |url=https://www.cinestaan.com/articles/2022/apr/12/34027/kehvatlal-parivar-trailer-siddharth-randeria-is-in-good-form-in-this-family-laugh-riot |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220430142536/https://www.cinestaan.com/articles/2022/apr/12/34027/kehvatlal-parivar-trailer-siddharth-randeria-is-in-good-form-in-this-family-laugh-riot |url-status=live |archive-date=30 April 2022 |access-date=12 April 2022}}</ref>
