`Meet the Characters`

Khushi Singh Raizada:

Khushi was an orphan from the age of 10. She had been legally adopted by her maternal aunt, Garima who had married a widower, Shashi Gupta with a child, Payal Gupta. She was very beautiful and her beauty had got her into a big trouble when a guy named Shyam Jha had come asking for her hand in marriage. Her parents had accepted thinking he was a nice guy yet on the night of her engagement with Shyam, she found out he was a married man and broke off with him. It didn’t stop there though, for Shyam’s wife had a brother, 28 year old, Arnav Singh Raizada who was very rich and had got into his mind that Khushi was a homewrecker and  decided to teach her a lesson. He had proposed her for marriage one day and threatened to publish false news about her in case she declined his proposal. Her aunt who brought her up, scared about her family’s reputation had begged her to accept his proposal. Thus, at the young age of 19, she had stopped her studies and gotten into the marriage to save her family from humiliation. Her husband was cruel to her initially, yet one day 2 years later, when the truth had finally come out he had fallen for her. Khushi had seen  her life was slowly picking up. Even though her husband had never apologised to her or told her he loved her, they were taking baby steps to make the marriage work yet she was unhappy for she was always the young immature girl to him and he lost no opportunity in putting her down.

Payal Singh Raizada:

Payal was Shashi’s daughter, Khushi’s step sister yet she loved her like her own blood. When Khushi had come home with Garima at the young age of 10, she being elder to her by 4 years, had taken her into her wing and fended off all troubles from her. She had been her protecter. Often times she had been the one to sing lullaby, chase away her fears and help her stand and face her fears. Garima might have been the one who adopted Khushi but Payal was the one who brought her up. Two times she had failed to protect her, her life had turned upside down. She was offered a scholarship to study in Guildhall School of music and Drama, London at the young age of 18 and she had gone. Something she still regretted, for five years later, when she had come back, she had found Khushi’s life in a mess. She was not informed of her arranged engagement to Shyam nor the humiliation that followed it. All the time she had only heard that they were all fine. She had been so occupied with her studies that she had not digged in deeper when she had not heard from Khushi for more than 6 months. She deeply regretted it and buried her dreams and wishes, her sole mission now only to somehow protect her sister. She researched the Raizada family and found that Arnav had an unmarried brother, the 27 year old Aakash Singh Raizada. She had proposed Aakash and married him hoping being closer to her sister she would be able to protect her. The marriage was loveless from her side and she had not tried to work to build the marriage, Aakash had tried for sometime and had given up. Now they pretended to be a couple in front of the elders but inside they were still strangers. To her dismay Khushi still seemed distant and she was unable to get through her. Story begins here.
