Major characters

  • The GrandparentsSushma Seth portrays Sarla Diwan, the grandmother and stern matriarch of the family. She is a busy socialite who is involved with various charity organizations. The grandfather, played by N.K. Shivpuri, is her hen-pecked husband- a loving, endearing person who is mostly busy playing pranks with the kids.
  • The Sons — The two sons are Balraj (Navin Nischol) and Sameer (Shekhar Suman). Balraj is the serious and sensible son who is always seen watching the events that take place in the house with an amused smile. Sameer on the other hand is funny and witty, and is always pulling everyone’s leg.
  • The Wives — Suhasini (Farida Jalal) is the wife of Balraj and Sunita (Bhavna Balsavar)[2] affectionately referred to as Sonu by her husband, is the wife of Sameer. Suhasini owns a beauty parlour and is very charming and sweet. Sonu is affectionately called Chaachi (Aunty) by the younger members of the family. The dumb, innocent and adorable Chaachi is an amateur writer who takes her job very seriously, much to the amusement of her family members.
  • The Kids — Sanjay (Vishal Singh]), called Sanju by family and friends and Kirti (Nattasha Singh) are the teenaged children of Balraj and Suhasini, while Vishal (Sunny Singh) and Aabha (Karishma Acharya) are Sameer and Sonu’s little children. Sanju spends most of his time on the phone with his girlfriend Shilpa (Urvashi Dholakia - who is now famous as Koumolika), who is always suspicious of him. Everything he does becomes a huge disaster and he is always seeking advice from others to woo Shilpa back. The kids and their friends provide many comic situations to which the viewers can actually relate. Kirti also has a boy in school who likes her; is name is Deepak and he is a studious guy with thick glasses.
