Harshu, is unconcerned about his grade on the dreaded results day at school, but his Papa visiting the school on the open day is what is upsetting him. Like any other child, Harshu is worried and doesn’t want his Dad to embarrass him in front of his friends.
When Harshu learns certain truths about his older brother Dabbu, he understands that he is not as pure as he first appears to be. At home, things start to get uncomfortable, and Harshu quickly realises that this is not just a game.
The entire house is on high alert when the parents get into a heated argument. The adorable younger sister, Chitti, disappears while Harshu and Dabbu attempt to settle the situation.
In an effort to win Vidhya over, Harshu never gives up. Shanky, his best friend, continually offers him new strategies to draw her attention, but this time Harshu has his own ideas.
We are unable to avoid our siblings, regardless of how much we argue with them. Harshu and his brother Dabbu's story is alike. The news that Dabbu has to move out of the house to continue his studies worries Harshu.

Yeh Meri Family debuted to favourable reviews from critics who praised the cast's performances as well as the show's usage of nostalgia. Shreya Paul, a Firstpost critic, stated in her critique that "With a strong cast and seemingly strong content, Yeh Meri Family may surprise audiences with its ordinary brilliance." Sowmya Rao from Scroll.in wrote, "Yeh Meri Family’s strong point is the way it captures the essence of the ’90s, a time when India was on the cusp of economic, social and cultural change. That conflict between old and new infused an inter-generational dynamic exclusive to that era, which is aptly reflected in Harshu’s relationship with his parents." Film Companion's Rahul Desai wrote "Yeh Meri Family becomes a series that doesn’t demand our complete attention. It occasionally counts on the fact that we can drift away, recall similar observations from our own heydays, and seamlessly return to the household as an organic extension of those memories."
Yeh Meri Family, which has a rating of 9.0, is one of the most popular web series on IMDb.

Arunabh Kumar, the creator of The Viral Fever, talked about the idea of creating a family-drama series. According to Arunabh, over the past 20 years, there hasn't been a strong premise for a family drama with a universally relatable plot in film or television. His goal was to bring the show's central theme—the dynamics of the stereotypical Indian family—to life. The setting selected the 1990s because, according to Arunabh, "just like the family relationships, the 90s had a certain innocence about them".
It was Saurabh's first time trying to write. Vishesh Bansal's mother was to be portrayed by Mona Singh, and Akarsh Khurana made his web series debut in the series. Jaipur was chosen as the setting by Arunabh because he felt it had the perfect balance of urban and rural. It's a fairly accurate portrayal of middle-class India, and it provides the play with a perfect backdrop.
In addition, Arunabh included a comment regarding working with children as a director, "Before we went on the floor, I was skeptical about shooting with the kids. I thought it would be very challenging. But to my surprise, all the kids were extremely hard-working and dedicated. They always used to come on set all prepared with the lines, and that made the shoot a lot easy. Rehearsing with them during the pre-production stage also helped to prepare them well for the shoot. Saxena said that he was skeptical about shooting with the kids before the show went on the floor."
