[edit] Characters

Akshara Singhania
Akshara's world consists of her husband Naitik, her in-laws and her determination to do everything possible to make her loved ones happy! She's just a simple, educated girl from a traditional family and she believes in turning every situation into a positive, fulfilling one.

Naitik Singhania
Naitik is the much-loved only son of the Singhania family. Naitik loves his family and is rooted in tradition. He is discovering love after marriage.

Naksh Singhania
The latest addition to the family, he is Naitik and Akshara's son.His name comes from both Akshara and Naitik's name . " Na " from Naitik and " ksh " from Akshara .

Mahendra Pratap
Known as Daddaji he is the head of the household.

Kaaveri
Fondly called Bhabhi Maa by everyone in the house, Kaaveri is Mahendra Pratap’s wife.

Nandini
Nandini is Mahendra Pratap’s and Kaveri’s only daughter and also the first born of the family. She is married to Mohit, Naitik's friend.

Mohit
He has been and is Naitik's good friend. Quick Thinker and Joker, Mohit fell in love with Nandini and though at first their love was opposed eventually they are married.

Raj Banna
Raj Shekhar is the second born son of the family. He was barely seven years old when his parents passed away, and ten years old when Bhabhi Maa came to this house as a bride. He vividly remembers how Mahendra Pratap sacrificed everything, including his college education, for the sake of his younger brothers and how Bhabhi Maa never let them feel the absence of a mother. An educated and learned man himself, at times he does not totally agree with the strict rules and regulations imposed by his brother but follows his orders nonetheless. Gayatri proved to be a good wife and an understanding partner to him.

Gayatri
Gayatri came as the second bahu of the house. Though a positive soul at heart and a good human being, she soon faced an identity crisis as a woman when she saw that everything in the house was centred around Bhabhi Maa. She also realised that the only way to get a little ahead of Bhabhi Maa in this house is to gain brownie points from Mahendra Pratap. God dropped this opportunity in her lap as she was blessed with a son, an heir, for whom Mahendra Pratap was pining. Hence Gayatri got more importance simply by being the mother of a son, something that Bhabhi Maa could never be!

Rashmi
Rashmi is Naitik's younger sister. She is a typical dreamy eyed teenager who lives and breathes Yash Chopra movies. Everything in her life is filmy, all the situations are melodramatic.

Akshara’s mother, Rajshri, is a simple housewife who worries about her children and her household all the time. Rajshri panics at the slightest hint of trouble and is very coy and demure.

She is a very positive and optimistic person who always guides Akshara in all situations.
