Meri Saasu Maa is the story of Pari (Hiba Nawab) and her pursuit to find a mother in her mother-in-law (Anindita Saha Kapileshwari).
Pari’s mama, is running around, as the entire house is geared up in wedding preparations. He talks to his wife, Pari’s maasi, who is a miserly lady, avoiding to spend any extra money, much to his frustration. Granny makes Pari see her mother-in-law, who seems to be a highly amiable lady. Pari comments that she seems like her mother, and starts imagining her mother-in-law, giving her the motherly love that she has wanted all her life. But she overhears the groom talking to some girl in the rickshaw, that this marriage is just a sham and a compromise, and that they then can enjoy their life, while the bride sits rotting in one corner. Pari is shocked. Just then, the mother comes and finds them like this, and asks them to hold for some more time, and continue with this charade and pretense. Pari is aghast, as she sees the true colours of her sasuma. She tries to search her father, but she is unable to.
Downstairs, all wait for Pari to arrive, at the mandap, while her bitter masi proclaims that she has brought her up with much love and care. Meanwhile, Pari starts looking for her father, but then her masi comes and takes Pari away, asking her not to waste time. Pari is brought in the mandap forcibly by her masi, while she is appalled and tensed. Her father reassures her and asks her to calm down. The marriage rituals begin and Pari remembers what she just heard, and is horrified. She takes her hand away from the groom and stands up, asking them to stop. They are all shocked. The groom’s mother asks what the problem is, as its okay to be nervous, but all would be fine. Pari tells her father that she is not the groom’s choice. He and his mother are appalled and deny it outright. Pari gets emotional as she starts speaking about how she had merely wanted a mother. The groom leaves with his family, while Pari stands tensed with the rest of the family. The masi is furious with rage, and reprimands Pari.
Sattu, the male lead, is shown to be praying in the temple. As he is walking down the stairs, he collides and grazes past pari, and the diyas alight up her dupatta, and then the whole place. He turns around and is shocked, while Pari is scared as she is trapped in the fire. He jumps inside. They both confront each other, behind a giant poster of Maasa in the background. The screen freezes on their faces.
