Junglee Manchhe: Characters

The Characters of Junglee Manchhe, with characters created by the Wadia Brothers.

The hero and his family 
Navneet Vasave: Navneet grew up with a former hoodlum mentor in the semitropical forest whom they call home. He is perhaps confirmed to have parents who were basically the guilty but wrongfully over-punished (and then killed) victims of the infamous Criminal Tribes act. He also mercy killed his own much older sister when he faced the logging mafia Don, who’d have liked to assault her for eternity. He also has a trusty steed, whom he rescued from an abusive horseman friend of another Don! His weapon of choice is a bichuwa, a type of Indian dagger. 
Meera Nayak: Navneet’s wife, whom he’d marry as a result of a lengthy, tiring arrangement decided by her somewhat superstitious father. Then they slowly fell in love and have a pair of sons. 
Lohit Vasave: Navneet and Meera’s younger son. 
Khal Vasave: Meera and Navneet’s older son. 

Navneet’s family 
Mrs Roat: The loving but rather complicated mother of Navneet, his three brothers, and their dead, mentally unstable, much older sister. 
Mr Vasave: Mr Vasave, although quite a deadbeat dad, did care for his wife and five children for a while. Unfortunately, by the time they both died, Amrita was married off to a fellow dude who escaped the control of a logging cartel Don (or more accurately a domineering Goonda above other thugs) at about seventeen years old. She and her equally mentally ill husband unfortunately had to be mercy killed decades later by Navneet. 
Amrita Vasave: After she gave away the older Hari Lal for fostering, Amrita Vasave had to breastfeed Zimbo in secret for the first few years of his life.

Lala’s family 
Uma Kothari: Govind’s wife, who died homeless following a hiking crash. 
Govind Kothari: Govind was a botanist who knew the basics about the biodiversity of southern Rajasthan. Along with his wife, he died homeless following a hiking crash 
Lala Kothari: Uma and Naveet’s surviving daughter, who happens to be the hero’s childhood friend. 
 
Hari Lal and his friends 
Tara Zinta: Dilawar’s much more messed up wife, who committed suicide when Dilawar’s own mother and father in law murdered each other to death. 
Hari Lal: Hari Lal is a snarky real estate agent. The the third part likely has him turn out to be Navneet’s more hoggish second cousin, whom the latter’s own deadbeat, much older sister gave away for fostering.
Dilawar Kapoor: Hari Lal’s rival from somewhere north of Bhanswara. 
Mala Kapoor: Dilawar’s son and morality pet, whom he loves to care for. 
Karmveer Bhatt: Karmveer Bhatt is a former logging thief trying to survive after being kicked out of his abusive master’s headquarters.
Narendra Chalak: Narendra is a snotty real estate agent from what would become a part of modern Rajasthan, India. 
Rajiv Kaul: A childhood buddy of Karmveer Bhatt, Rajiv was forced to become a mere impersonator in the wishes of his own master. He wears a long loincloth made from a tiger opponent whom he killed in his time working for said master. His weapon of choice is a tiger tooth jhanbwah, a type of North Indian dagger. 
Surendra Prasad: Another friend of Kharmveer Bhatt and Rajiv Kaul. 
Durgadhas Arun: Mala and Dilawar’s other friend.
