Nisha Aur Uske Cousins (translation: Nisha and her cousins) was Hindi-language drama which aired on India's Star Plus channel. As a promotion of the show, Star Plus introduced a free mobile app on 24 July, the World Cousins Day. The story line of the show is based on the family disputes caused by the difference of opinions due to generation gap. It shows an Indian joint family residing in the Jaipur city of Rajasthan. Its last episode was aired on 27 June 2015.
Nisha Aur Uske Cousins’ is a story that revolves around 7 cousins and the concept "Friends are forever, Cousins are for life!" Set against the backdrop of Jaipur it showcases the unconventional bond among 7 cousins living in a joint family. It is the story of their coming of age, aspirations, coping with expectations, understanding love & loss in their transition from being the ‘kids’ of the family to becoming ‘grown up’.
The cousins are introduced - Umesh, the oldest amongst the cousins whose passion is cooking, Dolly who loves shopping and is soon about to be married to Sumit, Kirti - a fashionista who is slightly vain and self-involved, Nisha - a tomboy and a daredevil at heart, Suketu - an aspiring actor, Jwala - a loveable geek who is intelligent but shy and Bunty - the youngest among all the cousins and a typical mischief-maker. Despite their differing personalities, the cousins are linked together by a common thread of love and friendship and are each other's support system. Saurav, their childhood friend is also a part of the cousins gang.
They are a part of a joint family of three brothers, their wives and Dadaji (Grandpa) and Dadi (Grandma). Dadaji is a strict man who loves his grandchildren but believes in discipline and traditions who has very different ideals and mindset than the cousins. The cousins sort through all the troubles that crop up during Dolly's wedding (that they inevitably caused) and ensure she gets married to Sumit.
Umesh wants to open his own restaurant but is scared of his father who wants him to continue their family business. Suketu's dream of becoming an actor is not supported by dadaji and he too is made to join the family business. Kirti breaks her relationship with her fiancé, Ritesh after knowing about his selfish motives. Jwala's tuition teacher tries to misbehave with her but she's saved by Nisha which leads to the revealation that Nisha was a victim of child abuse when she was thirteen, after which she became a tomboy.
Nisha becomes inspired by Viraj Singh Rathore, a national level shooter and joins his Lakshya Academy as an office assistant. She writes mails to him in the name of Aarti to help him come out of his loneliness. Meanwhile, Umesh's girlfriend's - Amanpreet's father passes away, motivating Umesh to take a stand against his family and announce that he wants to marry Amanpreet, which is not received well by the elders who want Umesh to get married to a jain girl. Viraj and Amanpreet develop a brother-sister bond. After a few incidents, Umesh and Aman get married with the family's consent
