✦ Vasundhara Abhimaan Singh

50 | Mother | Quiet strength

Vasundhara Abhimaan Singh is grace wrapped in silence. She is the kind of woman who loved deeply, believed fiercely, and stood unshaken beside a man when the world doubted him. Once the steady center of her family, she now carries her strength more quietly—softened by years of emotional turbulence she never chose.

She loves her children with a devotion that borders on self-sacrifice, especially Ved, whom she worries for even when he doesn’t ask to be. Where words fail her, presence speaks. She understands more than she says, feels more than she shows, and carries the ache of a marriage that changed without warning.

To Arsh, Vasundhara is warmth and safety. To Ved, she is both comfort and guilt—the reminder of everything he wishes he could protect but doesn’t know how to.

✦ Abhimaan Singh

51 | Founder | Visionary with fractures

Abhimaan Singh is a man built by effort and endurance. He rose from nothing, driven by ambition, faith, and the unwavering support of the woman who believed in him before anyone else did. The empire he built—one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical giants—stands as proof of his resilience.

Yet success changed him in ways he never fully noticed. Power brought distance. Pressure blurred priorities. And small failures—personal, emotional—became cracks he never learned how to mend.

He remains kind, generous, and capable of deep love. But when life doesn’t go his way, he retreats into the man he once was—guarded, defensive, afraid of losing everything again. His relationship with Ved is complicated by pride, misunderstanding, and unspoken disappointment, making him both a towering presence and a fragile one.

✦ Shruti Singh

22 | Chaos | Heart of the family

Shruti Singh is love with a volume button—and it’s permanently set to high. She is unapologetically loud, brutally honest, endlessly teasing, and fiercely loyal. If there’s chaos in the room, she probably started it. If there’s laughter, she definitely fueled it.

She is adored by both the Singh and Malhotra families, effortlessly slipping into the center of every gathering. With Yash, she thrives on playful warfare. With Ved, she softens him without trying. And with Arsh, she becomes something special—his emotional cheerleader, his safe space, his biggest believer.

Shruti is the first to notice feelings before anyone else does, and she has zero hesitation in pointing them out—often to Arsh’s embarrassment. Aspiring to be a film director, she observes life closely, understands emotions instinctively, and knows that every good story begins with truth… even if it’s uncomfortable.

✦ Yashwanth Malhotra

Chairman | Calm chaos

Yashwanth Malhotra is charm without effort. A longtime partner to Abhimaan Singh and chairman in their shared ventures, he balances authority with ease. Based in London, he remains deeply involved—professionally steady, personally relaxed.

He is overwhelmingly in love with his wife and proudly unhelpful when it comes to managing family chaos. Where others intervene, he watches with amusement. Where problems escalate, he adds fuel with a grin.

As a father, he passed on his emotional openness to Yash. As a friend, he remains loyal, observant, and quietly supportive—especially when he knows stepping back is more helpful than stepping in.

✦ Aashika Malhotra

MSL | Emotional anchor

Aashika Malhotra is calm in human form. A modern, accomplished woman working as a Medical Science Liaison at The Wings (London), she balances ambition with empathy effortlessly. Soft-spoken yet firm, she knows when to listen and when to step in.

She is the silent manager of chaos—handling Shruti and Yash’s antics while her husband cheers them on instead of stopping them. She understands people deeply, especially their silences, and has an uncanny ability to keep emotions from spilling over into damage.

Aashika knows exactly how to keep Yashwanth devoted without force—through mutual respect, affection, and trust. To Arsh, she offers unspoken reassurance. To Ved, she offers perspective. And to the family, she is the glue they rarely notice until things almost fall apart.
