The Patekars
Sunil Patekar - Sunil Patekar is the anxiety ridden only son of loving but estranged, slum dwelling commuter parents from Pune. He is in the process of becoming an office worker, after dropping out of the sucky if not downright dangerous Kenaf school.
The Monnappas
Parvati Monnappa - A fellow office worker from Karnataka.
The Prasads
Lakshmi Prasad - Lakshmi was one of the two short lived half sisters of Madan Gopal Singh, who was friendly rivals with Madan Gopal Singh’s lovingly smothering stepmother, even as she quite ironically was only three years older than the latter. She sadly got honour killed by her own maternal uncle, just a month after being forever chained by their own mother for rightfully trying to protect herself and her own younger sister from the wrath of the school principal herself.
Devi Prasad - Devi was one of Madan Gopal Singh’s two half sisters, who was only about a year younger than Madan Gopal Singh’s stepmother, who ironically remained her best and staunchest friend. She was an asthmatic person born with two small, somewhat underdeveloped lungs and who nonetheless also died of excessive neglect, also by her own mother, the Babla school principal. The month of her death was when said monstrously abusive mother’s serial smoking habits caused the first house of Madan Gopal Singh’s father to burn down.
Jayant Prasad - Besides being one of the Babla school’s few officially insane (read: highly mentally ill) teachers and pupils, Jayant Prasad was both a soldier and the school principal’s poor boyfriend who, despite his misgivings, did mean well to his own daughters, as they all shared a very short and tragic life together.
The Gopal Singhs
Madan Gopal Singh - The tortured, darkly hyper empathetic, and screwed up son (by unethically screwy and deplorable, sexually violating penetrations) of a nobody and a really corrupt female school principal, Madan’s life is one of the most torturous in the story. His dad was suffering from a ton of mental health issues, mostly due to nearly all the bad luck that he endured at the Babla school in Bihar. The same cannot be said of his birth mother, who perhaps was herself born an empty shell inside. She was smoking tobacco for a long time, resulting in her unwittingly killing his own much older half sister, an asthma sufferer, via that same old shit and culminating in her male pupil’s first house being destroyed for good. Being a screwy (albeit partly closeted) bisexual, his dad committed suicide at his boss’s office and after that had understandable sex with his poor beloved (technically kind of former) stepmother for only a few years (that was before she died of hospital related neglect), resulting in him having a daughter before even turning 21.
Veela Singh: Madan’s infant daughter.
The Reddy Majumder Family
Poonam Mukherjee Reddy: Poonam Reddy is Kiran Reddy’s loving older sister in law and Vijay’s seemingly homely wife.
Vivek Majumder - Vivek Majumder is Rahul’s antagonistically narcissistic dad, who has to come on top and who ultimately becomes a corrupt if otherwise successful company boss following his former boss’s withdrawal due to tons of scandal. As a result, Rahul is quite rightfully estranged from him for a good reason.
Rahul Majumder - Rahul is the charming middleman boss of Madan and Vikram, who doesn’t have as much of a screwed up past as Madan does. As he has the typical narcissistic tendencies, his obsession with Kiran is at times unhealthy mostly because she looks a lot like his mother (but without having the HED), although it understandably comes from the fact that his parents were much more tragically affected by sickening events than their very own son ever will be in his own life expectancy. His dad was such a hugely grandiose narcissist that when Rahul was just a kid, he left both him and his mother for Seattle. His mother, who had a case of emotional dysregulation disorder, was even more awfully affected, neglecting poor Rahul for a long time, only for him (at 11 years old) to witness her death in her fellow pupil’s burning house on tv in mild terror. He is finicky at times but has found some solace in hanging out with Vikram and Madan.
Avinash Reddy: Avinash is Kiran and Vijay’s widower cum Vietnam veteran dad, who happens to be a Thugdere. He means well but struggles to live with his ptsd due to also losing his otherwise authoritative wife to cancer.
Vijay Reddy: Vijay is Kiran’s fun loving, ADD-diagnosed and otherwise rather mostly sane older brother. However, he does get cuckolded by Poonam occasionally and later decides to divorce from her due to a few irreconcilable diffs.
Kiran Reddy: The resident anti villainess tomboy, who strongly encourages Rahul to become a good person and then ultimately has to marry him. She was basically Sunil Patekar’s main female bully in the Babla school.
The Mehra Family
Vikram Mehra - Madan’s overtly psychopathic ex best friend, who frequently gropes on the latter’s buttocks (but not in a really funny way) and has a pretty slick tendency to take selfies on his disc film based camera, which he called ‘Snippy’.
The Oberoi Family
Maya Oberoi: Sunil Patekar’s other former bully and his horny fiancée turned wife.
