She is naive yet adaptable to change and has adjusted well to her circumstances. She firmly believes that family values and tradition go hand-in-hand with being broad minded. She helps her sister-in-law realize her love even though love marriage is taboo in the family. She is a daughter to her in laws, who loves her own family but has learned to give priority to her in laws at the same time not to give up her family.

Naitik Singhania
He is pampered. He is the much-loved son of the Singhania family. Naitik loves his family and is rooted in tradition. He is discovering love after marriage! Though he has a sensitive soul and never hurts anyone, there is a certain pride in him for being born a boy! Male chauvinistic to a certain extent, he feels that men are privileged by birth and women are supposed to understand this. His journey helps him learn to love and admire his young bride despite the fact that he does not fulfil his fancy of his ideal woman.

Naksh Singhania

Akshara and Naitik's baby on its way. They have decided on the name Naksh which is Na from Naitik and ksh from Akshara. The baby will be introduced in January 2012
Kaaveri
Fondly called Bhabhi Maa by everyone in the house, Kaaveri is Mahendra Pratap’s wife. There is a big age difference between them. Kaaveri came to this house at the tender age of 15 and had to immediately assume the responsibility of mothering Mahendra Pratap’s kid brothers. She brought them up with affection and selfless love and even searched and got the best wives for the two. She is the most self less woman who has always found happiness in tending to her family members and seeing a smile of satisfaction on their faces. The only times she gets into bouts of depression and mood swings is when it concerns her daughter, Nandini, who is afflicted by Polio and hence still unmarried at the age of thirty.

Nandini
Nandini is Mahendra Pratap’s and Kaveri’s only daughter and also the first born of the family. A gregarious and lively girl in her childhood, her right leg got afflicted by polio at the tender age of six and since then she is either on crutches or bound on wheelchair. The magical world of books and stories always inspired her and she eventually wanted to become a novelist. However, thanks to the conservative household she was born in, her father thought it was inappropriate for her to study further as it would be a hurdle in her marriage. Hence she was forced to quit studies and was made to go through repeated and horrendous rounds of meeting prospective grooms one after the other and getting rejected repeatedly. While others sympathised with her and thought that finding the right groom for her was the only solution to end her misery, only Raj Shekhar could see the irony of the situation.She is married to Naitik's friend Mohit.

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 houses 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. A little impractical and frivolous, she is a perfect antidote to her elder sister Nandini, who has lost hopes in life.She is married to Nikhil.

Nikhil
Rashmi's husband. Modern and outgoing family as compared to the Singhania's

Maharaji
Singhania's cook who is very orthodox

Vishambar
Conservative but loving, Vishambhar is the head of the Maheshwari family. He loves his family and will do anything to protect the interest of his children Akshara and Shaurya. Sometimes strict but ultimately understanding, Vishambhar is like a coconut, tough from outside and soft inside.

Rajshri
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. Highly emotional and vulnerable, Rajshri loves her daughter Akshara more than anything and it breaks her heart when she cries.

Shaurya
Akshara's elder brother, Shaurya is a sweet and honest guy who wants to make everybody happy and have his identity as well. Shaurya is very protective about his family. Shaurya and Varsha are the perfect couple - always there for each other.

Varsha
Varsha is Shaurya’s wife. Varsha and Akshara were best friends in college, and still are, as their relationship as friends have turned into nanad-bhabhi. Varsha is a very intelligent girl and was her class topper throughout. She is modern in her outlook but keeps her traditions alive through her attitude. She is a very positive and optimistic person who always guides Akshara in all situations.

Ananya
The latest addition to the family, Ananya is Shaurya and Varsha's girl. She is much loved by the Maheswaris and Akshara has a softer spot for Ananya.

Omkarnath
Vishambar's brother who doesn't believe in god.

Sunaina
Omkarnath's wife and second Bahu of the house.

Anshu
Omkarnath's son who is loved by everyone. Posessive of his sister Akshara when she was married off, but learned slowly that his presence will help the family be more gleeful.

Nani
Akshara’s grand mother is a loudmouth old lady who can be very hurtful and sarcastic. She is always angry about something and doesn’t believe in complimenting or showing love. She is a tough cookie and a taskmaster. She does care about her daughter and daughter’s family but will not acknowledge her true feelings publicly. She is very righteous and superstitious.

Dadi
Akshara’s grand mother is a loving grandmother who is sweet and showers lots of care and love on the family members. Her faithful companion is Gopi Daadi . She is very righteous and superstitious yet does not jump to conclusion and is always patiently finding ways to resolve problems. She is Akshara's problem solver and gives her tips on life and how to face it

Gopi Daadi
Dadi's best friend and companion. She knows Dadi better than Dadi herself.

Bhola
Maheshwari's driver who is treated as their own son.He is very faithful to the family.

Dhaniya
