  • Amos played by (Sospeetah Kiritu) is Vashita's loyal maid. He is the only male maid in Taifa Estate. Amos is obedient and knows all boundaries between an employer and employee.
  • Silprosa (Sandra Dacha) is a gourmand. She often faces criticism for her plus size. Behind the mask lies loving mother with an irresponsible husband.
  • Cosmas is a mischievous watchman of Taifa Estate. He has his own side hustles. He is money-thirsty and will do any thing to get it.
  • Vashita played by (Eve D'Souza) is the perfect example of an upper class boss, a is quite spoilt. She is of Indian origins and girlfriend to Donavan. Varshita is extremely difficult to be with. She leads an extravagant lifestyle that only burdens Donavan played by (Maqbul Mohammed).
