Navya |
|
19
year old Navya lives in a middle-class family in Mumbai. She is born
and brought up in a nuclear family with her banker father, housewife
mother, a bratty younger brother and a quick-tongued grandmother. She
has a married and pregnant elder sister.
Navya is quite traditional in her ways and lifestyle. Navya maintains a
distance from boys and finds great comfort in her childhood friends Ritz
and Appy. This allows her parents to trust her implicitly, unlike her
Dadi who keeps questioning her morals and behaviors.
Innocent and sweet, she dreams wistfully of a fairytale romance,
especially when Ritz falls in love. However, love comes to her in the
most unexpected way as she meets Anant. From the moment she sees him,
Navya feels a strange pull towards him. And every incident seems to draw
them together, and finally they fall in love.

Anant |

Anant
is a 19-year old college going boy who, on the surface, looks like any
other urban college boy of today with the latest clothes, car, and looks
like the kind of guy any girl would want to date. But, deep down he is a
traditionalist, a conformist who believes in the old-world values of
joint families and arranged marriages. Unlike most of the teenagers of
today's times, he reveres his grandfather and seems to have been brought
up to respect his family's traditions and to live by the rule book. His
life before meeting Navya included following the path chalked out by
his family and did not think even for a second that he could fall in
love.

Ritika Joshi |
|
Ritika
aka Ritz, is one of Navya's childhood buddies from the same colony
quite unlike their fathers who were separated by their difference in
opinion and ambitions. While Navya's father maintained his lifestyle
from the very beginning, Ritika's father moved ahead for a better and
the most extravagant living.
Almost a sibling to Navya, this 19-year-old Ritika acts as a mentor to
her on most of the occasions. She does not make sly attempts to hide her
lifestyle and choices from her family. However, she likes to experiment
and has a creative side to her.

Deepak Mishra |

Deepak
is a typical Indian father who is quite loving and caring but with a
distinct set of rules set to keep his daughter away from the big bad
world. He does not seem to be too fond of her friends especially Ritz
who seems to be too modern in her lifestyle. His only expectation from
his daughter, Navya, is to get a degree followed by a happy married
life. Though he manages to send his daughter to a co-ed college, he
remains wary of the city he is in and society at large.
He earns a nominal income, and is living in a company flat in Malad. He
has a regular 9-5 job, and is a upper middle-class father who is hard
working. He works under great pressure constantly to save enough money
to get his second daughter married and ensure his son gets a proper
education. Meeta, his wife, is constantly worrying about his hours and
the stress he takes, but he shrugs her off as he feels he can't afford
the luxury of a holiday or lighter working hours.

Meeta Mishra |
|
The
quintessential "Ditzy Housewife" who gets flustered easily and is
extremely scared of Dadi despite her husband constantly assuring her not
to take dadi's words seriously. She has complete faith in her children
to be good and believes that her husband can solve any problem with
ease. Sometimes, she gets overwhelmed by the modern teenage world and
turns to her elder daughter for comfort and reassurance. She is
talkative and friendly and extremely lovable. Though not the best at
household chores as she sometimes burns the rice and adds extra salt in
the dal but the family loves her for who she is.
Been a full-time homemaker for years now, she shares an extreme comfort
level with her husband. Unlike some of the women in the contemporary
world, she firmly believes that women should make compromises if that is
required for the larger happiness of the family. She has a very quiet
countenance and does not get upset or angry easily.

Shankar Dayal Bajpai |
|
Shankar
Dayal Bajpai is the patriarch of the Bajpayee family. He is someone who
has seen the carnage of the partition, and firmly believes that
families should stick together, because anything can happen anytime.
That is just one of the reasons his family lives jointly even in today's
metropolitan Mumbai. He has managed to keep the family values intact
and all the men are involved in his family business of printing press
called Geeta Press. He is a noted religious and cultural speaker. In all
senses, he is a self-made man, and it is for this reason that he is
highly respected by everyone, including his near and dear ones.

Om Prakash Bajpai |

Om
Prakash is the one actively running the publishing house, Geeta Press.
Shankar Dayal just overlooks the business and is mostly involved in his
lectures. Om follows his father's ideals. He is as stern as his father
and can be harsh with his words. He respects and loves his father more
than anyone in the world and wants to make him proud and happy in
whatever he does.

Sugandha |
|
Anant's
mother, Sugandha, is a conformist - the kind of bahu every traditional
family would want and like. She has forever lived by the dictum that
being a silent wife and daughter-in-law is the way of life for a woman.
Being the eldest bahu of the house, she takes care of every section of
household-running that is allotted to her. She knows the hierarchy and
rules of the house, and makes sure that she will follow it to the T.
To Anant, she is a loving mother, someone who understands that his
troubles are a result of the adolescent phase he is going through and
that her son is merely growing up. However, she does not think even for a
minute that he will not grow to conform to the family's traditions and
practices.
