==Plot==
Set against a Marathi backdrop, Mayake Se Bandhi Dor is a tale about Avani, a young woman struggling against the social conventions that affect women in India. The show focuses on the themes of a woman's powers of forgiveness and pliability.

Avani is the sole bread-winner of her family and must support her mother, her brother, and her two sisters. Her mother is desperate to get her married but Avani has other plans. She wants to find homes and happiness for her brother and her two sisters first. At her mother's insistence, Avani finally agrees to give marriage a chance, but only on two conditions. The first condition is that she be able to continue to work after the marriage. The second condition is that she be able to continue to provide her salary to her family.

Avani meets Bhaskar who accepts her conditions and they agree to marry. The festivities begin but Bhaskar and his family have ulterior motives. They want to be the beneficiaries of Avani’s high salary and her affluent relatives, Kaka and Boss. Later, Bhaskar relents and asks Avani for forgiveness. Avani forgives him and they restart their relationship. Bhaskar's mother, Aii still hates Avani, however, because she thinks that Avani is stealing her son away from her. Then Avani sees her father alive, and Lata finds out that Aditi is gone so Avani and Bhaskar go to her house. Kartik and Abha marry. In the end, Avani forgives her father and Kaveri.

Maayke Se Bandhi Dor ended on 2 October 2011, having aired 170 episodes.

==Reception==
''Maayke Se Bandhi Dor'' is India's first television series filmed in a [[High-definition television|HD]] format for StarPlus.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|title=UTV gets aggressive|url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/utv-gets-aggressive/748482/0|website=The Indian Express}}</ref>

''[[The Indian Express]]'' rated two and half stars and said, "Shweta Munshi as Avni is a decent actress and so is Rohit Khurana who plays her fiancé. Rohini Hattangady as the Shashikala-meets-Lalita-Pawar mother-in-law digs deep into her saas role while Anjan Srivastav as the meek father is endearing and we want to shake up Aishwarya Narkar, the helpless ladki ki maa. The person who gets our goat is Aanand Goradia as the son-in-law, he goes absolutely OTT and speaks in a weird Maharashtrian accent."<ref name=":0" />

The series since its inception could not garner good expected ratings.<ref name=":2" /> The wedding sequence of the leads garnered an average rating of 1.62 TVR.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Avni weds Bhaskar in Maayke Se Bandhi Dor|url=https://m.rediff.com/movies/slide-show/slide-show-1-the-ten-most-spectacular-weddings-on-tv/20110825.htm|website=Rediff.com}}</ref> In third week of September 2011 it garnered 1.6 TVR.<ref name=":2" />
