Om Parvati Pataye, Har Har Mahadev! 🙏

Dhairya Malhotra

Age: 18 | Height: 6'4 | Class: 12th Standard

Calm, composed, and mature beyond his years — Dhairya is the definition of discipline. A Navy officer in the making, he's responsible, introverted, and the school topper everyone admires from afar. Living in a big joint family, he carries the weight of expectations silently, believing actions speak louder than words.

Shrishti Mehra

Age: 17 | Height: 5'6 | Class: 11th Standard

An extrovert with a heart full of dreams, Shrishti is known for her smile and spontaneous adventures. A bright student and a graceful Kathak dancer, she balances fun and focus with effortless charm. Her joint family adores her free spirit, though few understand the quiet emotions she hides behind her laughter.

Ritvik Jain

Age: 18 | Height: 6'3 | Class: 12th Standard

Dhairya's best friend — the talkative, confident one who believes life is meant to be lived, not studied. Ritvik isn't a fan of books; his dream is to join his father's business and build something of his own. Outgoing and witty, he often becomes the heart of any group, but only a few see the loyal friend behind his carefree jokes.

Shivanya Gupta

Age: 17 | Class: 11th Standard

Shrishti's best friend — more like a sister than a classmate. Shivanya is soft-spoken, nurturing, and emotionally strong. With dreams of becoming a teacher, she lives with her grandparents and values relationships deeply. She's the emotional anchor in her friend circle, the one everyone turns to when things fall apart.

Isha Mehra

Age: 26 | Profession: Gynecologist

Shrishti's elder sister — calm, responsible, and deeply devoted to her career. Isha's introverted nature makes her seem reserved, but she's quietly nurturing. She believes in traditions yet carries a modern mind, balancing both worlds with grace. Her calmness often heals others' chaos.

Rudraksha Malhotra

Age: 26 | Profession: Heart Surgeon

Dhairya's elder cousin, a brilliant heart surgeon who believes work is the safest escape from emotions. He's deeply caring but guarded — scarred by his parents' troubled marriage, he fears commitment and avoids love. His silence hides both strength and sadness, making him one of the most complex souls in the Malhotra family.
