Hi Sup Di, can you please make a list of characters so far and their relationships with the main leads? It will be easier for the next writers to continue the upcoming segments properly without messing them up.

I made a timeline already and tbh that was super hard 😆.

I'll make a rough character sketch this time for y'all to refer to but new characters keep getting added all the time, & I may not be able to keep up.

The best thing would be if each writer puts in a small summary of their segment below it when they write (kinda like how I did for mine), and add whatever new characters they have introduced so that WD or me or Madhu can update it in the Master post (which can be the one I create like I did for Timeline). Sound good to everyone?

Has silently loved Veronica for years but did not admit it. He and Abhay are acquainted through their grandfathers who are best friends. Later it is revealed that Abhay and Samarth are fraternal twins. Samarth has self-esteem issues and briefly saw a therapist, he may also be suicidal. He wants to feel valued. He may have enabled Abhay by 'giving in' to him, & felt unworthy of Veronica. He has the idea that Abhay is a prince. He used to admire Abhay but now after Veronica's termination is deeply angry at him.

He supports Veronica through her divorce & abortion, & they are currently dating. He has been told the truth of his parentage by Abhinav and is set to go to Maldives to 'protect' his brother, Abhay.

Veronica (last name unknown): 29-year-old computer science graduate. Was orphaned at Age 10 and went to live with her uncle, Ashutosh Gupta. She meets Abhay in college and equates him to the prince of her dreams. They get married and in 2 years she discovers he is cheating on her. She walks out & after learning that he doesn't want their child, she decides to terminate. She has been hurt, deceived too many times and is shattered when she realizes Samarth too had lied to her. Eventually, she forgives him and they begin to date. She is close to her cousin, Shweta and her friend, Saikat. She's on her way to Maldives with her family to support them after Shweta and Saikat's accident.

Abhay Mehta (Varma): 29 year old rich, entitled, bratty young man. He thought Veronica was clingy and began an affair with Jiya whom he loves. Told Veronica he did not want anything to do with her baby that prompted her to terminate. He is in Maldives when Shweta & Saikat are fatally injured and relays the news to people back home. He may now be in danger because of Chhada, a druglord's erstwhile relationship with Jiya. He seems to be protected by his grandfather and does not know the truth about his birth.

Has now revealed the truth to Sam and asked him to protect Abhay. Sam respects him deeply. He is generous (has helped Sam’a family) but also dotes on his grandson (implied many times in the narrative) and may be blind to Abhay’s faults (yet to be established but Sam thinks he will not believe him over Abhay)

He doesn't see a therapist coz of explicitly Ver. He sees.one because of all the issues he has. His insecurities make him feel that no one would care about him, least of all, Ver, and the inner lying feelings lead him to address the diary entries to her

Segment #11

______

“You know we cannot do this, it’ll break our family apart,” Abhay's grandfather Mr. Abhinav looked at his daughter in law helplessly. 

“My family was broken apart when you took a decision years ago for the sake of your friendship,” she said in anger as tears rolled from her eyes. 

“I understand,” he said in guilt. “But we can’t reveal this truth to anyone after so many years. Have you thought how would Abhay feel about this?”

“And have you thought, how Samarth would feel when he will know, that the family he is serving as a chauffeur, is his own family? That Abhay and him are twin brothers, separated at birth?”

_____

@Bold : Abhinav was introduced as Kangana's FIL, just now I remember. 

And how come Abhinav have so much influence in his daughter's family after marriage, so much that even he separated the twins and noone is even aware of the fact that twins were born, plus he has the power to appoint someone like Samarth at the Mehtas' too. Apart from that, to repay Abhinav, Samarth should work for the Basus, not the Mehtas in that case.

Please throw light on this writers.

 🤣 I missed that. I went by the fact that Abhinav is called Naanu - Naanu means Mother’s father right? Abhinav was first introduced in Bee’s segment btw. I don’t know what she had in mind for him but Samarth wouldn’t call him Naanu unless Abhay also did.

My entire retconning of this twin backstory hinged on the fact that Kangana is Abhinav’s daughter. If she was the daughter-in-law, the plot just won’t work. Shiri - ye tune kya kiya? 🤪 Now either Shiri can change that part in her segment, or I delete my entire segment. And someone else can write that part. 🤷🏽‍♀️ You all decide. 

As for the other question- it’s established that Abhinav is a powerful businessman of some influence. And he’s also  alone apart from his daughter and her family, it’s natural he’ll be connected to her family after marriage - lots of parents are. I don’t see anything unusual in Abhinav being this involved in the whole twin exchange, especially since he’s also connected to Samarth’s family. No one knows again because Abhinav has the power to keep it quiet. He also arranged the marriage between Kangana and Manav right? If he can do that, he can also be involved in her life post-marriage. We’re in an urban location in present times. 

His son-in-law has cutthroat business rivals - I’ve mentioned this in my segment, hence it made more sense that he’d need a bodyguard and not Abhinav and since Samarth owed a favor to Abhinav he had to go where Abhinav asked him to and he asked him to protect the Mehtas. 

It’s up to you all what you want to do.

It’s up to you all what you want to do. 

My second question was basically based on the fact that Mr. Mehta was a famous business tycoon of the city, so in such families, FIL may get less opportunity to get involved in their matters...otherwise I completely agree, believe and support that daughter's parents should have influence in their daughter's lives after marriage too. We need one segment more to explain how Abhinav covered this twins birth; I just pointed it out to make the story free from any plotholes for the readers. 

And I think, Shiri can change it to daughter since the background storyline which you came up with, is really very interesting.

Shiri, thanks babe! 🤗
