Papaji stays with his son and daughter in law ' Lovely & Dolly and has three children ' Sweety, Pinky & Lovely.

Lovely Khanna
(Essayed by - Vivek Madan)
The youngest of the siblings, Lovely refused to join his father's business and nor did he agree to conform to a regular job life. As a child, he was caught between his father's, Pinky's and Sweety's sense of discipline and practice but then he seemed the smart one, a trait he inherited from his mother. So Lovely took up dramatics and from there in his current profession of organizing theme parties. Lovely is the younger brother of Sweety & Pinky and is married to Dolly.

Dolly Khanna
(Essayed by - Namrata Ramsay)
Dolly met Lovely at the dramatics club, where she was the director and she fell in love with her actor.

Lucky Ahluwalia
(Essayed by - Vivek Mushran)
A street smart, happy-go-lucky, flamboyant and non ' interfering father, Lucky is a real estate agent and a self made man. While he loves both his kids, he strongly believes in the maxim that a boy should be a boy and a girl should be a girl ' that is boys can afford to be spoilt but girls cannot. A devout man who can if need be lie, bribe or even get someone beaten up for a profit. But then that is professionalism according to him. However when it comes to his kids he dotes on them.

Sweety Ahluwalia
(Essayed by - Shweta Tiwari)
Sweety is a control freak, strict and dominating when it comes to her kids.The eldest daughter, who had to do as good as sister and thus in the process decided to just be one extreme ' strict, haughty, adamant. She is a fabulous cook and the kids of the extended family love her food. She has very little idea as to what is the exact nature of Lucky's job but she isn't too interested either. She is obsessed with her house and her kids. She believes that kids must be kept in control and checked upon so that they don't go astray. Sweety has 2 younger siblings ' Pinky & Lovely. She is married to Lucky Ahluwalia and has 2 kids ' Rocky and Ginny.

Rocky Ahluwalia
(Essayed by - Tapasvi Mehta)
Age 15. Studying in Std. 10.
Rocky is a bright child with intelligence a little above his age and that reflects even in his well-planned pranks. He is good at his academics but there is a constant pressure on him from his mother. He also is a very frank and doesn't hesitate to voice his opposition to something that he thinks is unfair. Ginny and Rocky may have full blown Cat and Dog fights but Rocky is always there for his sister in times of need.

Ginny Ahluwalia
(Essayed by - Aashika Bhatia)
Age 13. Studying in Std. 8.
Tired of being the "good child", Ginny leads a dual life ' the sweet child at home and the rockstar at school. She is not too good at studies and just manages to scrape through thanks to the endless tuitions that her mother has set up for her and frequent aid from Raavi, Raashi etc.

Jeet Ahuja
(Essayed by - Vishal Singh)
A balanced, sensible and practical person, Jeet is due for a promotion as the manager at his bank's branch. He had always been a topper but could not make to the IIMs and so feels left behind. Due for a promotion at his bank branch, Jeet feels that children were his and Pinky's choice and hence they are obliged to the kids and not the other way around. He is the 'lists' man and is a little too proper for ease. Jeet and Pinky share a great understanding; Jeet perfectly balances his role as a friendly father and a guide to his kids. He spends quality time with his kids and believes in listening to his kids and explaining to them what is right and wrong and letting them take their own decisions, rather than forcing them to do things their way.

Pinky Ahuja

Age 15. Studying in Std. 10.
Raavi is the typical teenage girl who likes to experiment with her looks and is slightly detached from her siblings. Raavi is an honest kid and has never lied to her parents but when her parents don't believe her or spy on her, it is the greatest form of treachery and invasion of her privacy for her.

Raashi Ahuja
(Essayed by - Sparsh Khanchandani)
Age 13. Studying in Std. 8.
Raashi is the fire brand kid who enjoys teasing her little brother Sunny. Bestowed with an extraordinary ability to memorize things, Raashi believes that 'right thing' may not always be what the rule book says.

Sunny Ahuja
(Essayed by - Rakshit Wahi)
A restless kid whose being out of sight or hearing for more than a few minutes signals trouble. Irrespective of what is happening around or how serious the situation is, Sunny manages to be lost in his own world, completely oblivious to the world around him.

New-age take on age-old parenting

FRIDAY, 18 NOVEMBER 2011 22:43 PIONEER HITS: 162 A television show is here to guide you through tough years of raising up kids. Its cast gets candid with E Malik

Bored of the usual listings on the small screen and wish for something less far-fetched than three generations of a family all living happily ever after? Well, here is a much sought-after change in the line-up for your television listings. Come Monday and a new show, Parvarrish, is all set debut on Sony TV. It is a show with a definite air of being different. As the promos clearly show, it does not have an evil saas (mother-in-law) or a conniving nanad (sister-in-law). On the contrary, there are two sisters who compete with each other to be a better parent, with their own unique brand of parenting. Add to the mix kids who will charm you to your toes with their genuine innocence and life-like portrayal. The icing on the cake is the sheer nostalgia one will feel after seeing the show, for everyone must have gone through similar situations with their respective parents. Also highlighted are the various roles that parents have to adorn at times to justify their roles in their children's lives.

Television veteran Shweta Tiwari plays Sweety, a very loud, domineering and controlling mother. A character which is unlike the ones she has played before. Shweta finds the character she plays reminiscent of her own mother. She says the experience came in handy, for she plays a strict mom on screen. "Parenting is something that's every woman has an innate sense of. We just adapt ourselves to it," she puts in. A mother in real life too, Shweta is not a strict controlling mother. She tries to maintain a balance between being cool and setting rules. But she is very excited to be back on the daily soap circuit after her hiatus from TV soaps.

Actor Vivek Mushran finds the experiences he has had with his friends and his brother who are parents very useful as he plays a funny yet strict father in the show. He is married to Shweta and has two kids. "Strict as much as one will allow. My character preempts the mistakes that a kid might make and we accordingly deal with it in a strict scolding fashion," he elaborates. And as for how he tackled parenting and the larger premise of the show "it's all about being human; the emotions are something you just relate to and act upon them. The spontaneity is the strength of the show."

Adding to the ensemble of actors is Rupali Ganguly who plays Pinky, a sweet and sensitive woman. Acting as a mother of three, she believes in being friends with her children and winning their approval. This often results in very comic situations. But personally, she believes "there are no set rules for parenting on the contrary. As a mother, you have to take one day at a time and just trust your motherly instincts." Rupali finds Parvarrish to be extra special as she finds shades of her own family reflected in it. The closeness with her father and the way her mother cares for her as she still lives with her parents. "This is a show which is very life-like and very relatable, we all have been through similar instances in our lives," she says.

The final piece of the collage is provided by Vishal Singh who plays Jeet, married very happily to Pinky (Rupali Ganguly). He is an assistant manager at a bank and is the calm dad who believes being friends with your kids is the only way to win their trust. The character is very sorted, very organised but also very protective. Vishal finds "parenting is a universal concept and everyone sort of just grows into it." As for the show, he finds it "very refreshing, very normal. Almost like a slice of life."

He also sees glimpses of his own childhood, with similar experiences being used verbatim on the show. No wonder he is looking forward to Monday when the show begins. Also he feels this is hands-on training for real life, a readymade manual to follow for when he becomes a parent. Parenting, a tough job, even on the easiest of days. Now, we have a life-like recreation. With the laughter
and the tears. Go along, watch it, and make sure to take notes!
