Shelly Sahai: Shelly Sahai, an NRI and international photo journalist is forced by circumstances to take up the challenge of re-inventing her legacy, a hotel handed down to her by her father. And in the process of saving this hotel from almost certain ruin, she simultaneously embarks on a journey of self-discovery. A quest, that changes her from a temperamental, unsure young girl to a self assured woman of substance. Her story takes us deep into the underbelly of an ageing hotel that practically rises from the ashes under her leadership.
Vishwamitra Kelkar (Vish): Vish is a young man from a small town with a dark past, who not only aids Shelly Sahai's transition from a girl to a woman, but also becomes her guide and her mentor, helping her unravel the labyrinth that is the hotel. Jovial and friendly with the entire staff of the Kingston, he initially has only contempt for this foreign returned snob. From initial friction and simmering hate, love slowly blossoms between the two. Vish, a reluctant, laid back guy, spurs up to meet the challenge head on... from resurrecting the hotel to wooing the girl.
