Ek Baar Aur | A Ramayan with a Time Leap (modern-day) Completed G

Chapter 3

Now comes the time for the antagonists...

Lankeshwar Vanarao - An ardent devotee of Shiva, but hypocritically going against all the religious knowledge he possesses, Lankeshwar Vanarao is a businessman based and living in Jharkhand. He runs a successful empire for years on an end. It is a surprise though that it hasn't closed down, considering his long list of violations and crimes. He built an empire of gold while walking on a road of black dirt. He can go to any lengths to get whatever he sets his heart and eye on. He lives to destroy and uses remnants to expand his empire. He doesn't care much for humanity. A religious man who follows all evil despite strong devotion, he is Lankeshwar Vanarao, my friends.

Mandhari Vanarao - Face hidden behind the veil of docility at all times, Mandhari is the wife of Lankeshwar and his exact opposite as well. She was welcomed into his house with pride, but he managed to bring her down to nothing. She rarely spoke a word now yet somehow she always had a hold over Lankeshwar's anger, using the control to diminish whatever amount of it she could. His cheats and frauds were well-known to her, along with several tales of lust. Yet she stood by, firm with belief that his reverence in Lord Shiva would bring him back onto a pious and clean track. All she can do is remain hopeful and pray extra. A beautifully woven web of shattered dreams, she is Mandhari Vanarao, my friends.

Inder Vanarao - Born and brought up with a lack of love or significance from his father, Inder is the only son of Lankeshwar and Mandhari. But Inder always has strived to gain some semblance of attention from his father blindened enough to not notice him at all. His father's neglect is only a boost to his desire to do whatever he can in his power to gain his attention. Whatever amount of love that was nurtured in him by his mother was part directed towards his father and part towards his wife, the only true and non-toxic love of his life. He has been brought up in a broken scenario but he always knows that his wife has his back no matter what. A man too deep in the seas of pleasing a person who doesn't deserve the attention, a man too unnerved to understand anything else, he is Inder Vanarao, my friends.

Sulochana Vanarao - The wife of a man filled with endless love for her but more infinite love for his father and a woman torn by circumstance not knowing what to support and what not to, Sulochana is Inder's wife and core source of comfort. She understands him well but fears contradicting him for she thinks it may drive them apart. But she doesn't take well to her father-in-law and only hopes that some day her husband may get some sense injected into him and he may lose his desire to impress his father. She cares about her mother-in-law though but her mother-in-law hardly ever shares any of her pains with her. She understands the household well, but she doesn't know how exactly to help them. Wedged between choices of the wrong and the right, she is Sulochana Vanarao, my friends.

The antagonists will be more later introduced in the storyline there are just their character sketches. I hope you all have liked the character sketches.
