🧑🏻 Male Lead 🦋
Name: Ishaan Rathore
Age: 31
Appearance:
Tall (6’2”), broad-shouldered, with an air of elegance that turns heads the moment he enters a room. His features are sharply cut—jawline sculpted as if by stone, deep-set eyes the color of midnight, framed with lashes far too beautiful for someone so cold. His hair is thick, dark, always styled with precision, as though a strand out of place would be an insult to his perfection. He dresses in tailored suits, colors muted—black, charcoal, navy—each stitch whispering wealth and power.
Personality:
To the world, Ishaan is a ruthless billionaire—controlled, calculating, and merciless when it comes to business. He speaks little but his silence often speaks louder than words. He does not believe in love; to him, emotions are weaknesses, liabilities. He lives in glass towers, but inside him are walls no one has ever managed to climb. Only a few close ones know that beneath his icy exterior lies a storm of secrets—a man broken long before he built his empire.
Background:
Ishaan’s empire was not inherited—it was fought for. His father, Rajveer Rathore, once a steel magnate, lost everything in a betrayal that shook the family. Ishaan, barely in his twenties, rebuilt it from ashes, turning himself into the youngest billionaire in the country. The burden of rebuilding left scars: he became cold, untrusting, and dangerously self-reliant.
👴🏻 Rajveer Rathore ⛓️
(Father of Ishaan): Once a powerful businessman, charismatic and proud. His empire collapsed due to betrayal by his own younger brother. Since then, Rajveer has lived like a shadow of his former self, still drowning in guilt that his son had to rebuild everything. He loves Ishaan but doesn’t know how to express it. Pride and regret are the two forces that rule his heart.
👴🏻 Arindam Sen 🍃
(Father of Ananya): A man of dreams who lived and breathed books. His bookstore, “Sen’s Pages,” was his temple. Gentle, poetic, always quoting verses, he was the warmth of the family. His sudden death in a car accident shattered Aanya’s world and left the family financially unstable.
Advait Kapoor ⛓️
– Ishaan’s right-hand man in business, a loyal friend since college. Calm, diplomatic, often the voice of reason when Ishaan’s temper threatens to destroy deals. Though he appears secondary, his role becomes crucial later in unraveling secrets within the Rathore empire.
Kabir Rathore ⛓️
– Ishaan’s younger cousin, polished, witty, and charming. To the outside world, he’s the golden boy of the Rathore family. But envy burns in him like acid. He believes Ishaan stole the empire that should have been his. He hides his venom behind smiles, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
👩🏻🦰 Female Lead 🦋
Name: Aanya Sen
Age: 23
Appearance:
Petite yet graceful, Aanya doesn’t possess the kind of beauty that screams for attention—but the kind that lingers in memory. Large almond-shaped eyes, deep brown with flecks of gold, hold a stubborn fire in them. Her skin is warm, sun-kissed, glowing without the need for expensive creams. Her hair, long and wavy, usually tied in a careless braid, spills like ink when she lets it loose. She dresses simply—cotton kurtis, worn-out jeans, scarves faded from too many washes. But when she smiles, truly smiles, it’s enough to outshine a city skyline.
Personality:
Aanya is fire disguised as warmth. Fiercely independent, outspoken, and deeply protective of the people she loves. Life has taught her to bend but never break, to struggle yet never surrender. She is the kind of girl who would fight with bare hands for her family, yet cry silently in the bathroom so no one sees her pain. Her pride is both her shield and her burden.
Background:
Aanya comes from a middle-class Bengali family that once lived comfortably but is now drowning in debt. Her late father, Arindam Sen, owned a small bookstore that was his dream and pride. After his death, the shop collapsed under unpaid loans. Her mother, Sangeeta Sen, works tirelessly but her health is failing. Aanya works multiple jobs to support her younger brother’s education, fighting against a world that seems determined to crush her.
👵🏻 Devika Rathore ⛓️
(Mother of Ishaan): Elegant, cultured, and loving. Devika is the only softness in Ishaan’s life. She wishes her son would find love, but silently suffers watching him build walls around his heart. She worries that one day, all his coldness will leave him truly alone.
👵🏻 Sangeeta Sen 🍃
(Mother of Ananya): A strong woman who once had a laugh that could fill a room. Now, sickness and endless struggles have dimmed her. She pushes Aanya to study, to dream, but silently feels guilty for being a burden.
Riya Mehta ✨
(Ananya's Best Friend) – Aanya’s closest confidante since college. Outspoken, bubbly, and endlessly loyal. She’s the only one who senses that Aanya’s marriage to Ishaan is more than what it seems. Riya acts as comic relief sometimes, but also as Aanya’s strongest emotional pillar.
