Minor Characters
Sikander Malik
Sikander in name only, this rich brat is a man-child living in the perpetual shadow of his genius older sister. A high school dropout, who spends most nights hidden under the skirts of hired consorts, he is envious of the heiress' success and always looking to put a damper in her plans. Sikander is strangely aware of his stupidity but will go to the ends of the earth to hide his real act.
Rohail Malik
A retired business tycoon and a dotting father in the world's view, this man is a god on earth for all his people. For anyone who has had the good luck of meeting with the Malik behind all Maliks, he will swear on the words "Rohail Malik can do no wrong".
Zainab Malik
A veteran politician of her time, Zainab ji is now retired and lives a quiet life as the woman behind two generations of the Maliks' success. Though no longer a public figure, Zainab has built this empire from the ground up. The bricks maybe laid by her husband but Zainab has plastered the stolen money of taxpayers, labour of vulnerable children and even the blood of innocent people to secure a bright future for her family. On the surface she seems a woman living in regret of her past mistakes but only her heart knows that she would do it all over again. Even if it meant more bloodshed, more chaos, and waging war against the unarmed, she would do it with her own hands for the happiness of her son.
