Character sketches:

Arnav Singh Raizada

With the very first episode, we are introduced to a hard-hearted businessman who is willing to go to any extent to get what he wants, whether it be revenge or love. We only see his merciless side in the beginning, as he ousts his own uncle from their old mansion and abuses Khushi when she gate-crashes his fashion show. His softer side is later revealed bit by bit in his interactions with his loved ones, especially his beloved sister.

Nonetheless, this gentle attitude is reserved for very few people, and all others, including his girlfriend Lavanya are subjected to his temper. When Khushi joins his office, he misses no chance in harassing her, only later realizing his mistake when he inadvertently ends up risking her life. That is the first time he feels any remorse for his actions, and we finally start seeing some changes in his behavior even though it takes a long time and plenty of other mistakes before his journey towards becoming a better human being gets completed.

Even as falling in love with Khushi starts bringing out his candid side - the one which is not so jaded and disillusioned by the world around him; fate intervenes and he ends up misunderstanding an interaction between Khushi and his brother-in-law Shyam which leads him to marry Khushi forcefully to save his pregnant sister's marriage. Even after months of spending time with an innocent Khushi, he refuses to believe her, only accepting her love for him when he gets kidnapped and she saves him at great mortal peril.

Once he finally starts trusting her, there is no looking back. When his ugly past rears its head in the form of Dadi, we find out why the sensitive and vulnerable teenager turned into this cold and stony man. But, he wins the battle with his own internal conflicts and goes on to show how much true love can change someone.

From the ruthless businessman to the caring husband, we witness the journey of Arnav Singh Raizada as he overcomes his demons and manifests Omnia Vincit Amor (Love conquers all).

Khushi Kumari Gupta

Right at the onset, it is clear that her simplicity and innocence is not be mistaken for foolishness or naivete. While not as educated as Arnav, she is worldly wise and not afraid of standing up for what she believes to be right. Despite the hardships that she has faced, whether it being orphaned at a young age or the prejudices that come with being adopted, she maintains a cheerful disposition and her sunny personality manages to brighten everyone's lives around her.

She has a fiercely independent streak and takes up the responsibilities of her family and home without any hesitation. That pits her against Arnav on various occasions as she works for him and later for his sister and grandmother. Her traditional qualities make her a favorite among the Raizadas, as well as Arnav's girlfriend Lavanya, who dislikes her in the beginning, but becomes her friend later.

Unknown to her, Arnav's brother-in-law Shyam likes her and twists circumstances such that she gets engaged to him while on the other hand, Arnav gets engaged to Lavanya. She starts developing feelings for Arnav, but given the fact that they are both engaged to different people, she tries her best to stay away from him.

A romantic person at heart, she helps her sister Payal and Arnav's brother Akash get together. While preparing for their wedding, she finds out the truth about Shyam, but on her family's insistence, hides it from the Raizadas. This brings her downfall later as Arnav misunderstands the situation and marries her forcefully by threatening to stop Payal and Akash's marriage. For her sister's sake, she gets married to him, but tries her best to annoy him so that he will break off the marriage himself.

When Arnav finally tells her the reason for their marriage, she tries her best to convince him of the truth but is delayed because Arnav gets kidnapped. This period brings out a lot of her qualities as she shows her cleverness, bravery, and also the depth of her love as she tracks the kidnappers down, rescuing Arnav while nearly dying herself. This opens Arnav's eyes and they are eventually able to move past the fake marriage and towards a real one.

Even after their marriage, she faces difficulties in the form of Arnav's ex-girlfriend Sheetal who claims to be the mother of Arnav's child. Being an orphan herself, she feels an empathy for the kid Aarav and decides to leave Arnav so that he can be with his son. Even after Sheetal is revealed to be a fraud, she doesn't hesitate in adopting Aarav, providing him with a stable and loving home, while also imbibing discipline and good values in him.

From gate-crashing a fashion show by mistake to participating in Mrs. India contest and winning it, Khushi Kumari Gupta (Singh Raizada) takes us on an unconventional voyage of love, teaching us to live in the moment (Carpe diem) and enjoy every day as it comes, no matter how painful the past or uncertain the future might be.

Will write-up the others later... just wanted to post these first as I think they got too long... perhaps someone can help me shorten them? I'm not sure what to edit out...

I'll see what to edit when I do the proof reading Stuti :)

Bhavi has sent me a shortened version of Arnav's portion. Once I finish writing the rest of the characters, I'll come back to these and try editing again with her writeup as reference.

Character sketches:

Anjali Singh Raizada (Jha)

Arnav's elder sister by relation but more like his mother, her world revolves around her family, in particular her Chhote and husband Shyam. She has faced tragedies in her past, but manages to overcome them and keep smiling regardless. Her sweet persona acts as the perfect buffer to Arnav's bitter and biting words, thus managing to glue their odd family together.

She loves Shyam dearly and wishes that her brother will get to experience the same feeling with someone, which is why she accepts Lavanya in the household at first and ships Arnav with Khushi later. Her happiness knows no bounds when she finds out that she is pregnant but is left devasted when she finds out that her husband was deceptive and a fraud.

Although initially she refuses to believe the accusations against Shyam, even going against her family's wishes by meeting him secretly; when she finally learns the truth, she manages to stand strong and oust him from their lives. Even though she suffers from a miscarriage and then a broken marriage, she emerges from it all as a much more powerful individual. Forged by fire, the gullible Anjali Singh Raizada turns into a sensible and competent woman; still gentle and loving, but no longer delicate and vulnerable.

Akash Singh Raizada

Soft spoken and somewhat timid at first glance, he reveals himself to be fairly determined when the need arises. Where Anjali acts as a buffer for Arnav at home, he does the same in office; soothing the ruffled feathers that are caused by his elder brother's brazen attitude. He is very much family oriented, easily giving into their demands, whether it be his mother, brother or grandmother.

Despite this, he can be unrelenting and stubborn, albeit in a tender and persuasive manner. He displays these qualities when he falls in love with Payal, convincing her to marry him with a dramatic proposal. Later when Manorama objects to their marriage, he takes a stand against her, managing to sway her with Arnav's help. But, after their marriage, he finds it hard to strike a balance between his mother and wife, especially when there are other family issues going on around them. Even so, he tries to be there for everyone as a silent yet strong pillar of the household.

In the end, he decides to shift overseas to manage their business there. This move shows that Akash Singh Raizada is starting to grow independently and perhaps he is finally ready to spread his wings and move beyond his family drama, to focus on his relationship with Payal and his own career.

NK (NandKishore)

When Akash's cousin from Sydney arrived for his wedding, no one expected that they would be introduced to such a delightful character. When he develops a crush on Khushi, it would have been easy to hate him for coming in between our favorite couple. But, he manages to win hearts with his charming looks and adorable personality. His broken Hindi gives us some light hearted moments and he works as a perfect comic relief in the beginning.

It is only later, when he comes back after a sabbatical, that we see his more serious side as he helps Khushi in rescuing Arnav from the kidnappers. Even though he was infatuated with Khushi before her marriage to Arnav, he accepts their relationship gracefully and stays as a true friend to her.

He showed us that being funny or talkative did not mean being foolish or gullible and that cheerful guys could also be solemn in grave situations. Most importantly, NK demonstrated that Ladka aur Ladki sirf dost bhi ho sakte hai (A boy and a girl can be friends too).

Now that I'm done with my assigned characters, I'll sign up for Hari Prakash, Laxmi, Bubbly and Masala Mama too . Just need someone to do their character siggies if possible.

Which reminds me that Aman's character siggie is remaining and Dadi's writeup is also left even though they have been marked in the index, so please have a look and clear the confusion Shiri.

Cheers..
