"I was destined to be their daughter-in-law, but I chose to be his peace—my silence spoke where his chaos roared."

– Sanvi Ahuja

[ FAMILY MEMBERS ]

FATHER Anil Ahuja

Anil, 54, is a soft-spoken man who runs a small textile business in Jaipur. He’s a man of principles, deeply rooted in tradition, and takes immense pride in the promise his late father made to the Raghuvardhan family. Anil sees Sanvi’s betrothal as a way to secure his family’s future and honor the legacy of his father’s friendship with the Raghuvardhan patriarch. Though loving, he can be strict, often prioritizing family honor over Sanvi’s personal desires, which adds pressure on her to fulfill her role as the destined daughter-in-law of the Raghuvardhans.

MOTHER Meena Ahuja

Meena, 50, is the emotional heart of the Sharma family. A nurturing and devout woman, she has raised Sanvi with values of resilience and grace, often reminding her of her name’s meaning—wisdom. Meena is more empathetic than Anil, understanding the weight of Sanvi’s betrothal, and often acts as a buffer between Sanvi and her father’s expectations. She’s the one who prepares Sanvi for the wedding, ensuring every detail of her bridal look reflects their family’s dignity, but she quietly worries about Sanvi’s happiness in such a high-stakes union.

YOUNGER BROTHER Arjun Ahuja

Arjun, 22, is Sanvi’s younger brother and her closest confidant. A college student with a playful streak, Arjun looks up to Sanvi and often teases her about being the “royal bride” of the Raghuvardhans, but he’s fiercely protective of her. He’s skeptical of Vikram’s character, having heard rumors of his recklessness, and worries about Sanvi’s future in such a powerful family. Arjun’s bond with Sanvi provides her with a sense of normalcy amidst the pressure of her betrothal, and he often lightens her mood with his humor.

LATE GRANDFATHER Harish Ahuja

Harish, who passed away when Sanvi was a child, was a respected merchant and a close friend of the late Raghuvardhan patriarch. The two men fought together in a local conflict decades ago, forging a bond that led to the promise of uniting their families through marriage. Harish’s stories of the Raghuvardhan legacy left a lasting impression on Sanvi, making her feel a sense of duty to fulfill his dream, even though she never had a say in it. His memory looms large in the Ahuja family, especially for Anil, who sees Sanvi’s marriage as a way to honor his father’s word.

[ FAMILY DYNAMICS ]

The Sharma family is close-knit but traditional, with Anil and Meena placing significant emphasis on family honor and the promise made by Harish. Sanvi, as the eldest child, feels the weight of their expectations, often suppressing her own desires to keep the family united. Meena provides emotional support, sensing Sanvi’s quiet struggles, while Arjun brings lightness, offering Sanvi a space to be herself. The family’s modest background contrasts with the grandeur of the Raghuvardhans, highlighting the stakes of Sanvi’s betrothal—she’s not just marrying into a royal family but carrying the hopes of her own family’s legacy.
