He has not been living with the family for the past five years because of the conflict of interests between his mother and his wife Shilpa. He is a child specialist and his wife a gynecologist.

She is one of the many who keeps comparing the life in the towns and in suburbs. As Leela was from a rich family and from the town she keeps comparing herself to Leela. Her only complaint is that her mother Godavri loves her daughter-in-laws more than her daughters.

Tushar Bhayani: His laugh is his identity but he also cracks silly jokes much to the irritation of the Thakker family. The first son-in-law of the Thakker family is a business man who is in complete awe of his wife.

Rajja: A drama artist turned cook when the company shut down is very adamant that the family pronounce his name as Rajja and not Raja.
