Introduction

🌸 Shanaya Gupta

Age: 24

A calm, ambitious girl with black eyes, a sharp mind, and a quiet strength. She has just completed her MBA in Finance and is now preparing to pursue a PhD. She’s simple in appearance — fair skin, always in soft cotton kurtas, minimal makeup, and a neat black ponytail.

She prefers books over people, silence over chaos, and logic over emotion. Her world is structured — until family starts interfering.

The Gupta Family (Joint Family in Lucknow)

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 1. Shanaya’s Parents

Father: Mr. Arun Gupta

A gentle, practical man in his early 50s. Works in property dealing, hasn’t retired yet. Values his daughter’s education but often remains silent in family conflicts.

Mother: Mrs. Neena Gupta

A full-time homemaker. She believes marriage is the ultimate achievement for a girl. Often emotional, dramatic, and highly influenced by “log kya kahenge.” Wants her daughter married to a “good family.”

👦 2. Younger Brother: Aarav Gupta

17 years old

Currently in 12th standard Mischievous, talkative, and secretly proud of his sister’s intelligence. He’s the comic relief of the house.

👨‍👨‍👧‍👦 3. Extended Family

Bua (Father’s sister) – Lives nearby, visits often to give unsolicited advice, especially about Shanaya’s marriage

Dadi & Dadu (Paternal grandparents) – Traditional, conservative, respect their son but hold strong expectations for family image

Chacha-Chachi (Uncle-Aunt) – Live on the first floor, more neutral, involved only occasionally in family matters

Nishkarsh Bedi

Age: 28

The eldest son of the Bedi household in Agra.

Tall, dusky, always in ironed shirts with sleeves rolled up. Calm-faced, sharp-eyed, and deeply responsible. He’s quiet, rarely smiles, and speaks only when needed — but when he does, people listen. He runs the family’s property dealing business, handling land, legalities, and egos like a seasoned negotiator.

He’s not romantic.

He doesn’t believe in love stories.

And he definitely isn’t interested in marriage — but he also doesn't say no outright. He lets things flow, and controls them only when needed.

The Bedi Joint Family (Agra)

A well-known, respected family with a massive three-floor haveli-style house. Old traditions, big breakfasts, and louder opinions.

👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 1. Nishkarsh’s Parents

Father: Mr. Viren Bedi

Head of the family, respected businessman. Though semi-retired now, he occasionally joins in land deals. A strict yet proud father who trusts Nishkarsh’s decision-making.

Mother: Mrs. Meera Bedi

Loving and emotional. Handles the whole household like a CEO handles a company. She wants Nishkarsh to marry “on time” — she believes the eldest son’s marriage is the beginning of everyone else’s.

Chachu : Rajeev Bedi – Handles accounts and legal matters in the family business

Chachi : Vandana Bedi – Gossip queen, always matchmaking and overexcited about weddings

Chachu : Prakash Bedi – Lives on the second floor, calm and quiet.

👬 The Bedi Brothers — 6 Boys Raised Like Soldiers with Laughter

1. Nishkarsh Bedi (28) – The eldest. Calm, composed, never screams — unless pushed to the edge. To his brothers, he’s a bit of everything:

➤ Big brother. Second father. Secret keeper. Peacemaker. Problem solver

2. Vivaan Bedi (24) – The closest to Nishkarsh in maturity. Works with him in the property business. Talks less but observes everything. Loyal like a shadow. Nishkarsh treats him like his right hand.

3. Yuvraj Bedi (21) – Nishkarsh’s younger real brother. College-going, fun-loving, emotional. When he's sad, he doesn’t go to Papa — he climbs onto Nishkarsh’s bed and vents.

4. Armaan Bedi (22) – The wild one. Cricket addict. Constant prankster. Calls Nishkarsh “CEO Bhai.” Loves teasing him about marriage but respects him silently.

5. Rachit Bedi (20) – Introverted. Tech geek. He’s the quietest of all, but if Nishkarsh calls, he drops everything. The only one who shares Nishkarsh’s love for late-night terrace peace.

6. Ishaan Bedi (18) – The youngest. School-going, loudest, most pampered. He thinks Nishkarsh is a superhero and often says, "Bhaiya ki baat sabse pehle sunta hoon main."

The Bond They Share

They don’t go to their fathers when something is wrong — they go to Nishkarsh.

He’s never raised a hand, but one stare is enough.
