Saath Nibhaana Saathiya (transl.Stand by Me, Partner) is an Indian Hindi-language television series produced by Rashmi Sharma under Rashmi Sharma Telefilms. It premiered on 3 May 2010 on Star Plus and became one of the longest-running television series in India. The series starred Giaa Manek (later replaced by Devoleena Bhattacharjee), Rucha Hasabnis, Rupal Patel, Mohammad Nazim, Vishal Singh, and Loveleen Kaur Sasan.

The series followed the lives of the members of the Modi family, exploring the morals and values of a typical Gujarati joint family. Initially, it focused on cousins Gopi and Rashi and their lives in the Modi house after marrying the Modis' sons, Ahem and Jigar, respectively. After a time leap, the series focused on Gopi's daughters, Meera and Vidya. A further leap focused on Ramakant, Gopi's son, and Sita. The storyline frequently skipped forward in time: a year in June 2013, eight years in February 2014, ten years in February 2015, four years in May 2016, and three months in March 2017. The series ended on 23 July 2017, completing 2,181 episodes.

The second season of the series, Saath Nibhaana Saathiya 2, premiered on 19 October 2020 on Star Plus, featuring Devoleena Bhattacharjee, Rupal Patel, and Mohammad Nazim in cameo roles, and starring Sneha Jain and Harsh Nagar (later replaced by Gautam Singh Vig) as protagonists.
