Character Sketches:
SATI RAJDAN, 26: (Manasi Salvi Prabhu)
An intelligent, tenacious girl, Sati completed her law degree despite her horrendous ordeal. Her triumph over it has made her a strong individual with nerves of steel, unafraid to fight for the rights of hapless women. Though most women in her professional line lose their softness, Sati still maintains her femininity – this soft side can be seen when she is with her younger sister or the man she loves. Armed with a dry sense of humour she is lethal in the courtroom. Women who come to Sati with their cases find her a big support to them.
SIDDHARTH RAICHAND, 30: (Sandeep Rajora)
This rebellious but flamboyantly stylish young lawyer has returned to India from London to practice law. A rakish charmer, Siddharth treats every case like a game without getting into morality issues. The harder a case, the more challenging it becomes for him. Opposites attract and Siddharth and Sati find themselves drawn to each other. A volatile mix of chemistry and destiny mix, and despite Sati's attempt to quell this, fate will take over.
RAJDEEP SIKAND, 30: (Karan Mehra)
Honest faced Rajdeep Sikand is a TV journalist who has captured the public's imagination. A small town boy at heart, Rajdeep clings to his values and commands tremendous respect with his silent, reserved presence. However, when it comes to women, he is a bit introverted. Close friends with Sati, he harbours silent feelings for her and is enmeshed in a love triangle with Sati and Siddharth.
SMRITI THAKUR, 33:
Beautiful, 34 year old Smriti is a single mother of a little girl whom she had out of wedlock. She was jilted by her lover when he found out she was pregnant. The incident left her scarred and unable to trust any man. Smriti changed over from being a law student to doing Interior decoration as it was higher paying and she would then be able to support herself and her baby. Her daughter Sakshi, now 12, is constantly trying to fix her up with eligible young men, which is a source of embarrassment to Smriti. Finally Sakshi's hard work pays off and Smriti finally finds love in an honest, young cop, Avdhesh Singh, a brave Encounter Specialist. Now a part of the Swayam team, she often finds herself in a dilemma when she is pitted against Avdhesh in court.
PRIYA DAS, 26: (Dimple Inamdar)
This sensual seductress, nicknamed the 'man-eater' by her team at Swayam is an incurable flirt. Known to have an eye for anything in trousers, even women, Priya is extremely comfortable with her sexuality. She would go to great lengths to get a favourable judgment, including going on dates with the lawyer of the accused. Gifted with the good looks of a movie starlet, Priya possesses a brilliant, analytical legal mind.
MISHAL MADHVANI, 20: (Dimple Hirji)
The daughter of international Cosmetic Queen Mona Madhvani, Mishal is barely out of her teens and already a law graduate. Disgusted with the phony world created by her mother's beauty products and in search of a simple life, this young girl joins Swayam. She was immediately mothered by all the women at Swayam and is now groomed under the sharp and watchful eye of Sati.
TULSIDAS GUPTA, 38:
This moped riding, street smart lawyer uses every dirty trick in the book to win a case. Not the smartest lawyer around, Tulsidas has a shrewd mind that bends rules to get his work done. Having learnt the system inside out, he has found loopholes that suit his purpose. Siddharth, on sensing this quality, immediately hired him as his second in command. Tulsidas, with his strange but entertaining UP humour is an extremely colourful character.
CHIBU RANA, 16:
Illegally transported as a minor from Nepal and sold to the Mumbai flesh trade, Chibu finds herself raped by a few rich boys. She goes to Sati with her case, who battles it out in court, proving that Chibu, irrespective of her status of prostitute, had been raped. After a successful courtroom victory, Chibu starts to work at Swayam taking care of the office. A combination of her peculiar accent and worldly wisdom often creates humourous situations.
BABLOO, 22:
A loudmouthed, habitual gambler, Babloo is also an informer of the Mumbai Underworld. He is terribly in love with a disinterested Chibu and wants to have her hand in marriage. Having met Chibu when she was new to the flesh trade and terribly alone and afraid, Babloo used to sneak in food and other goodies to her. It was he who saved her from her pitiful plight as he was an informer with an NGO responsible for rescuing minor girls trafficked for the flesh trade. Babloo is now and informer with Swayam and helps them with information on some underworld cases. The income he receives for his services buy him is food and drink which keeps him happy.
GAURI AMMA, 29:
This feisty fish selling lady has come a long way from her horrific beginnings. Living with her alcoholic husband who used to batter her up in his drunken frenzy, Gauri learnt the hard way how to fend for herself. She learnt to drive her tempo in order to transport her fish to the market as her husband was too drunk to do so. Now, having left the drunken slob, she has broken free and joined Swayam as a driver. The smell of fish still emanates from her! Besides the smell of fish, she also retains her sharp mind and acidic tongue with an unending supply of choicest abuses. She is voluptuous with a sensual walk.
SHIKHA SAWANT, 30:
This exploitative and corrupt woman is an insult to woman kind. Despite being a woman herself, she works against the interests of women, often going one step further than most men. She proves that a woman can be as vindictive, manipulative and evil as any man.
AVDHESH, 39:
This young, dynamic cop goes all out to help a victim get justice, sometimes turning a blind eye to the Rule Book. The love interest of Smriti Thakur, Avdhesh is one of the few good cops in the force.
besides these prominent characters, there are other episodic characters in the roles of accused, victims, lawyers, prosecutors, and defenders, judges, investigating officers, policemen, politicians, bureaucrats, businessmen, etc., weaving a complex mosaic of drama and conflict where relationships and loyalties are as much on trial as the cases themselves.
