Very interesting pot.

Though it is not very clear, who's who but my guesses will be:
1. Anami- Krishna/Karna
Krishna was also separated from the parents to protect him from Kansa. And later, he returned to save the kingdom. Moreover, Anami's characterisation matches Krishna. Like how she is natkhat with her Pagli Panditayin, catching con saadhus, beating goons, and if you if see it as a symbolisation, even eating Dahi. Karna was abandoned, but Krishna was protected. Same as Anami was sent away to save her life.

2. Pujan- is Duryodhan. Negative and using Saam, Daam, Dand, Bhed to achieve what is not rightfully his.

3. Guruji- Bhishma pitamah

4. Narottam- Shikhandi

5. Vikram- Dhritarashtra

6. Adhiraaj- Arjun

7. Vatsalya- Abhimanyu

8. Madhu and Murari- Yashoda and Nand

9. Baldev- Pandu, the cursed king

10. Satrupa- Kunti

11. Gayatri- Gandhari

These are my guesses. It would be fun to discuss on whys and why nots...

See firstly we need to understand that this is not based on MB rather inspired by MB.
So all the characters of the show are inspired by the characters of MB and almost all the characters of this show traits of 2 or more than 2 characters of the show.

Anami - Abhimanyu/Arjun/Krishna
Anami is mischievous, intelligent, powerful and wise like Krishna.
But ever since Satrupa has entered her life, she has become Abhimanyu, trapped in a chakravyuh. She knows how to enter it, is struggling to get out of it, but fails in doing so and ultimately people cheat her and this is why the show is named "Rishton ka chakravyuh "
Now once the Abhimanyu gets killed (deceived), this is where Arjun will rise above all situations and settle the score.

Narottam - Shrikhandi/Karna
Now he is the real Karna, the man who has the royal blood but is denied any perk or even justice.
Karna was powerful and always wanted Arjun to realise that how lucky he is, just like N said that V never had appreciated being V. Now N is going to deceive Anami some day making her Arjun from Abhimanyu and then these 2 will be playing against each other in full form. (It's just my guess)
And an obvious relation between Shrikhandi and Narottam exists but I don't think that is going to have much effect

Satrupa - Draupadi/Kunti
The lady who left her child.
And also the lady who was deceived by her in laws somewhat like how drawpadi was divided among 5 husbands after marriage. At that time Kunti's words/decision brought pain to Draupadi, here Satrupa's own decisions have brought pain to her. Also not to forget that Draupadi was called yagyaseni meaning she who has been born from pure fire, basically meaning her characteristics are like purifying fire, she is strong, stubborn and self respecting.

Pujan and Avdoot - Shakuni and Duryodhan
Now the father son duo has been playing their parts really strongly.

PS: Please note that here when I am saying that N is Karna and Avdoot is Duryodhan means they are going to be friends, it is not that these characters are going to do what MB characters did rather these would behave like MB characters,ie, their traits will match, not the lives.

Different angles make things look more interesting. Nicely written.

Hmmm. I always felt that each of the characters is a blend of various characters from Mahabharata. Let me try.
Satrupa: She is like Kunti, who on one hand seems weak for having given away one of her children under pressure, but on the other hand seems like a strong king maker for having managed to hold the Pandavas together against all the internal and external factors.

Anami: She is child who was given away. By that logic she must be Karna, but she is not the first born, so could be Arjuna too. The jatas actually make her more of Arjuna or Shiva to me (Arjuna once went on penance for 13 years and lived an ascetic life) and also she is the survivor while her twin died. Karna died in the war and Arjuna emerged victorious, so I am more inclined to think of her as Arjuna or Krishna than Karna. Or may be she is blend of all of those characters. Vatsalya is like Abhimanyu, who couldn't make his way out of the Chakravyuh.

Adhiraj: He has hidden motives behind digging the lalmahal case. But he seems to be seeking justice for something wrong that has happened to his parents, so he is like Krishna probably. Krishna or Vishnu is the one who preserves dharma, so is Adhiraj, a police officer who preserves law and order.

Pujan: As you said, they cast the actor who played Shakuni in the Mahabharat tv series, so he must have a similar character in this too. In Mahabharat Shakuni wanted power through Duryodhan and here Pujan wants to get power through his son.

Baldev: He reminds me of Pandu and even Yudhishtir. Pandu cannot enjoy conjugal life because of a mistake he makes when he was young, just like Baldev. Baldev seems to be a bit of a pleasure-seeking and not very responsible person, which is why his father couldn't place his trust in him. That aspect is similar to Yudhishtir, who in my opinion, is not the right candidate to be the king. The only thing that is in his favor is being born as the eldest of the Pandavas.

Vikram and his wife: They are Dhritharashtra and Gandhari. Vikram is blinded by the love for his offspring but also wants to be fair to the daughter-in-law as much as his selfishness allows him to be, and his wife follows him blindly.

Guruji: He is the Bhishma. He seems to be bound to the family for some reason, though he doesn't have any selfish gain from anything that happens in that family. He is extremely loyal to the family and the decisions he forced on the family members in order to protect them have sometimes caused a lot of chaos in their lives. He represents the orthodoxy and old traditions.

Narottam: The illegitimate son of Baldev, seems like Shikhandi to me and his wronged mother (forgot her name) is like Draupadi.
