Mahendra Pratap

He is the eldest brother of the family. After the sudden demise of his parents, he took upon himself the onus of taking care of his brothers, educating them and settling them in life. As a result he could not study much and does not hold and degree or diploma! He took care of the family business of jewels/ diamonds and ran it through his traditional wisdom. However later when Raj Shekhar and Chiraag grew up holding degree he withdrew a little and let them handle the business. Though he sits at the honourable chairperson’s position in the company and no decision is ever taken without consulting him, he has given Raj Shekhar all the powers to run business the way he likes and make decisions. Kaaveri Fondly called Bhabhi maa by everyone in the house, Kaaveri is Maheshdra 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 is concerned with her daughter Nandini who is afflicted by Polio and hence still unmarried at the age of thirty.
