Ahilya Devi, Runjhun's maternal grandmother, is the only one in the household who showers Runjhun with true love and affection. Her main concern is Runjhun's marriage and wants Runjhun to be blessed with the prince of her dreams. Ahilya Devi often shields Runjhun from the taunts and ire of her uncles and aunts.
Runjhun is a beautiful and simple girl who brings good fortune wherever she goes. Orphaned in childhood, she has been raised by her maternal grandmother. She stays with her three maternal uncles, their wives and children. Runjhun is always cheerful and dutifully performs all tasks handed to her. Her status in the household is no better than that of a servant. However, Runjhun has no complaints. Runjhun becomes the victim of the conniving ways of her aunts who marry her off to a local goon who agrees to live in their household.
The eldest son of the Pandey household, Rajjannath is hardly ever known by his real name. Popularly known as Rajju, he deals in the manufacturing and export perfumes. Rajju is self-centered and egoistic and regards himself to be highly successful and influential. He is a hen-pecked husband and falls even for the slightest flattery.
