Names and their Meanings in PV land

The sun - the harbinger of life. The reason the world exists. And Suraj Pratap (literally - sun's majesty) is the reason the Scindia parivar exists. He is the fulcrum of this family, the sun around whom every other member rotates. The sun is all powerful - with the power to nourish and the power to destroy if you get too close to it. SP has a strong streak of nurture within him - as evidenced towards his sons, and especially towards Yash under all circumstances (even when he threw ArYa out of the house, his focus of anger was Arti, never Yash). And today, when Gayatri the mother appears to be against Yash, it is the father, the all powerful Suraj Pratap who is still protecting, still nurturing, and only now realizing the value of Yash.

Partnership with Gayatri - Gayatri, the inner strength. The woman who gave SP his strength for more than 30 years. The sun derives its strength, its heat, its power from the energy within it - SP gets his from Gayatri. Will she let him down in this time of great crisis? Or will she, in her own unique way, show him the right path, be his strength as she has always been, albeit in a completely unfamiliar way? My vote is the latter - lets see what the Mittals' have in store.

Pankaj - lotus flower

Supposed to be the most beautiful flower - the lotus blooms in the murkiest of waters, in still-waters that run deep. Makes me wonder what the elder Scindias faced about 40 years ago...Pankaj in a way lives up to his name. He maintains the status quo, he blooms in the stillness of the family. As long as there are no disruptions, Pankaj does well. The name implies hidden depths to the character though - depths that we have yet to see in the show.

Partnership with Vidhi - perfect isn't it? The husband maintains the status quo while the wife maintains the traditions and principles. A match made in Scinida-heaven.

Yash - glory, fame

The son who brought yash/fame to the family. The most talented of the Scindias...and the most troubled. Fame brings its own darkness, its own abyss. And Yash, the hero, the husband, father and son - has traveled through his own darkness, wallowed in the abyss of grief, and overcome it only with the help of Arti (devotion). Its interesting that the name of the character was changed from Siddharth (the one who accomplished his goals) to Yash. Yash has so many layers to it - both positive and negative, just like the character in the show...

Partnership with Arti - The woman who defines devotion is the woman who was finally successful in bringing Yash out of his self-propelled whirlpool of misery. Glory was incomplete without devotion - fame needing humility to reach its full height.

Pratik - symbol

Perfect name for the youngest child - the symbol of the future. Except that the Pratik we know has become the symbol of the weak man - a good, kind man, but one who is unable to take a stand, unable to articulate what he wants, unable to fight for what he believes to be right.

Partnership with Paridhi - The wife who can break restrictions, who can re-define limits, yet is being forced to stay within unnatural boundaries. If the symbol of the future - Pratik - can live up to the true implication of his name, Paridhi, the two together can bring in a new, brighter, more tolerant future. But...will he? And...will they?

Akash - sky

Sky, limitless, beyond the horizons. What a name to choose for this character - one forced out of his rights at birth without his knowledge, yet in whom the will to reach the sky is instilled deep. Strip away his anger, his hurt, his sense of being done out of his rights - and he is a man with unbound ambitions.

Partnership with Ishita - Sky meets greatness/superiority? She is right you know - as long as he follows what she says, he will get his desires. But...and this is the crux - does he really know what his desires are? Does he know what he really wants? Or is he projecting his real desires on to material things because they are more tangible...and easier to acquire?

Satyendra - "lord of the truth"

Irony somebody?? The person from whom the main lie of this show originated, the person who lied at each point if it were the easier way out - he definitely did not live up to his name, did he? Some one in the Mittals' camp has a wicked sense of humour.

Partnership with Shobha - Truth and pride - any wonder that Prashant met the end he did??

Prashant - peaceful, fully satisfied. Alternate meaning - "unknown"

The Mittals' definitely have a wicked sense of humour! The one person (before Akash entered) who was never satisfied, who was never at peace. And the depths of whose character were unknown...

actually i didnt knew what yash eans

so today i got it

and the way u described his character👏

Well, now I get a clear picture about the meaning of their names...
