Nakusha - The Unwanted
Born in a poor family, she's shown to live in a one room "house" with her parents and younger brother. At first sight, she seems to be a very unappealing person - for the lack of a better word, she's "ugly". But as you spend time getting to know her, you realize that she has a heart of gold that wishes well for even those that did her harm. She has the endearing ability to laugh at herself and no matter how bad things get around her, she is always optimistic. She places her family above all else in life - as long as they are happy, she'd be willing to let herself suffer.
And as you get to know her, you also realize that she isn't really "ugly" - she's a gorgeous swan who CHOOSES to be ugly. She had an elder sister who got exploited for her beauty and Nakusha's mother (Baabi) does not want the same fate for her younger daughter - which is why she wishes that Nakku put on a "dark" color on body before stepping out into public. As long as no one knows how gorgeous she is, no one will try to exploit her. And Nakku agrees to this decision willingly because for her, as long as her mother's happy, she needs nothing else.
She's a true diamond in the rough - She lives in "bad" world surrounded by "bad" things yet she doesn't let them take the best from her. She maintains her optimism, her spirit and her smile. And she maintains her warmth - something that radiates from her when she's around other people.
Put in simple terms, she's our Koyal - dark and "ugly" on the exterior but her melodious words/actions may light up anyone's life.
