SAXENA FAMILY

🌸 THE SAXENA FAMILY

A middle-class household ruled by values, fear of society, and quiet love

👵 GRANDMOTHER — SHANTA SAXENA

Narrow-minded, rigid, and deeply orthodox

Believes a woman’s worth lies in obedience and reputation

Manipulative in subtle ways—emotional blackmail, taunts, comparisons

Uses “log kya kahenge” as a weapon

Particularly harsh on Saanvi, sensing her quiet independence

🖤 She doesn’t raise her voice—she poisons the air.

👨 FATHER — RAGHAV SAXENA

Society-oriented, principled, and strict

Deeply loves his children but struggles to express affection

Believes freedom must be “earned” and monitored

Strongly against love marriage and casual male-female friendships

Cares deeply about family honor and social image

Torn between his daughter’s happiness and societal expectations

🖤 A man who loves deeply but fears judgment more.

👩 MOTHER — KAVITA SAXENA

Soft-spoken, nurturing, and emotionally intelligent

Acts as the emotional shield for her children

Tries to maintain peace between her husband and mother-in-law

Understands Saanvi’s heart but fears conflict

Often sacrifices her own voice for family harmony

🖤 She loves quietly, endlessly.

🌷 YOUNGER SISTER — ISHANI SAXENA (20, Ongoing)

More expressive and emotionally open than Saanvi

Dreams of a freer life

Shares a deep sisterly bond with Saanvi

Confides in her more than anyone else

Represents the future Saanvi wishes to protect

🖤 The one person Saanvi would fight the world for.

🧒 YOUNGER BROTHER — ARJUN SAXENA (14)

Curious, innocent, and observant

Looks up to Saanvi as a second mother

Notices family tension more than adults realize

His safety and future matter deeply to Saanvi

🖤 The reason she chooses patience over rebellion.
