Shaantanu (Shaan) Khandelwal: The youngest and most loved member of the respected Khandelwal household. His presence and personality lights up the entire house with laughter and smiles no matter what the occasion is.

Madhavi Khandelwal (Mom): Loving, caring, "the world's best mom" according to Shaan. She is super cool when it comes to keeping up with youngsters and their trends, her approach of being both, a friend and a parent to her children has kept her very close to Akshay and Shaan. Even though she is a mother-in-law to Khusboo, she has never been the traditional "saas" to her and loves her just like her own daughter. Madhavi is also very close to her own mother-in-law and just like Sunil she respects her very much.

Daadi: Sunil's Mother (Maa): eldest and most respected member of the Khandelwal clan. She is very loving and caring towards her grand children as well as her children. Even though she has earned the title of "Daadi" in the household, her age can never stop her from being an advocate for Shaan's mischief and covering for him when she senses trouble from Sunil or anyone else for that matter. A total sweetheart who wants nothing but bliss for her family and loved ones

Akshay and Khusboo Khandelwal: Just got married recently and being a part of love/arrange marriage they have nothing to complain about as a couple.

Khusboo might seem a bit self-absorbed at times, but she truly is a nice-hearted person and loves being loved by her husband and his family.

Khanak Mathur (Chutki): A chirpy, full of life girl, she has got her traditions and morals grounded in her every simple act. Khanak was orphaned at a very young age and since then her older brother Aditiya or Adi was her only family. He became her mother and father, not only taking on the responsibility of her necessities but making sure that Khanak's education and dreams face no hardship. Adi started to work as a store clerk at a family friend's clothing store to save up and provide for Khanak's better future. Even though Adi never got the chance to finish up his education he was skilled at what he did and was now the manager of the store where he started as a clerk. Khanak was well aware of Adi's sacrifices and considered him her guardian angel through thick and thin. Khanak was hardly two years of age when her parents died, she doesn't remember, much but Adi's encouragement and a positive attitude towards life kept her from disappointments and isolation.

Aditiya Mathur (Adi/Bahiya): Protective older brother of Khanak, considers his sister his life and will do anything for her. He realizes that he is not very well off but their middle-class status is comfortable enough to live a respectable life. Life's tribulations tested him but he never gave up the will power and the promise that he made to himself in regards to Khanak on the day of that horrible accident that made him a responsible man way before his time. His parents passed away in that accident and he still holds that tragedy responsible for what he is and where he is in life, both in a positive and a negative way. Overall a very kind and collective individual but carries a burdensome soul and is afraid of losing his stability as the only provider and caretaker of his "Chutki" a.k.a Khanak.
