He is comfortable being himself, he never pretends. Kuch accha nahin laga, he will tell you honestly, whether it's close ones or anyone else. 😊
He is practical, not the typical TV hero type. He didn't fight with goons, because he knew he wouldn't be able to save himself and Khanak. So he threw money at them and ran away with her.
He cares for everyone, even though others might not have the same amount of concern for him. He didn't slap Rahul , when Rahul cheated him and his friends.
He wants to earn money, but will not loose his or Khanak's self respect. He asked his music director to say sorry to his wife, he asked the same of his own Mom and Bhabhi.
He is clueless sometimes and he doesn't realise his mistakes. He promises not to repeat them again, yet he does.
He becomes most possessive when it comes to Khanak, his wife. He will always demonstrate his right over her. He is perfectly IMPERFECT and that is our BURTHAL Shaan.
Mrs Khanak Shantanu Khandelwal
She is the most sweet, bubbly, caring, loving and NAGGING person. She cares for everyone and fights with them for their own good. She argued with her Father-In-Law in favour of Shaan's music career. She stood with her husband through thick and thin. She is a quick learner, she learn how to cook new dishes, ANGREJI and how to drive scooty. She wants everyone to be happy, that why she tried to ment Shaan and Rahul's friendship after knowing their past.
She becomes very jealous when girls flirt or even talk to husband. She tried to change herself just for him, by wearing western outfits, going against her own values, and out of her comfort zone. But he loves her the way she is. She even agreed to bahave as a unmarried woman when ShaNak left K-mansion, just for Shaan and relunctantly agreed not to wear Mangalsootra or Sindoor.
Her favorite place is the Kitchen. Shaan spends a lot of time there when he is at home, trying to romance his wife. 😳 Who can forget the TALLI KFD, Jhansi Ki Rani and Rajputani Khanak? 😃
Dadi
A kind-hearted loving person, who gives great advice to her family and always giving tit-for-tat answers to her Daughter-In-Law, Madhavi. She took responsibility for her family, after her husband passed away. She always supported Khanak. This eldest member of Khandelwals is the very close to ourr Shaan.
Sunil
The coolest AADA and businessman. In his free time, you will find him playing chess, with Akshay. He always gives advice to both his sons, when he feels they need support. Either directly or indirectly. His shayaris, collage and village stories are notorious. 😆 They can cause a lot of embarrassment within the family. He is not afraid to express his affections verbally, he loves his family. He can be a strict father. He taught Shaan the meaning of life, responsibilities, a career and gave him the courage to become independent. He is filmy, he even danced on 'Chahe koi mujhe janglee kahe...' with cheer girls. Isn't he cool? 😊
Madhavi
The perfect Socialite, her abbreviations, ufff, 'Mera croro ka beta', 'LS', 'KFD' gave us the most hilarious moments. She loves her baby boy Shaan the most, so she was mean to Khanak in the intial days. Later on, she was just like a mother to her, her MUMMIJI. She was jealous when Sunil became Sunny for Sasha. 😆 Sasha is SunAvi's common friend, Sunil's first love from college. She came to India to meet friends and stayed with th Khandelwals. Madhavi is a sophisticated, modern and the coolest Mother-In-Law anyone ever seen on TV.
Akshay
Who can forget the workaholic and Joru Ka Gulam, Akki? When its about business , no one can beat him, but when its about his love life, he always asks his CHHOTE for help. Though the ideas our BURTHAL gives him, are not sensible and Akshay rejects them at the first, but later on follows them to impress his wife. 😆 Akshay perfect in business, chess, an avid cricket lover and a loving Bhaa to Khanak.
Khushboo
A loving sister, a socialite, fashion freak, who does things without thinking sometimes. A regular member of kittie and social parties. She adopted a Gao-Ki-Gori avatar in Dulwahdhi. She was rude and tough with Khanak initially, but became like an elder sister later on. Her biggest complaint is that, Akshay is a workaholic and doesn't give her enough time. This leads to her suspecting him. Though seeing this is actually funny, because Akshay is so loyal and sweet. Her wish to start her own business is commendable. Which leads to her launching her own cosmetics business.
Natasha
A mature person 😊. When Khanak entered the K-mansion, she feared loosing Shaan, but never blamed Khanak for what happened between her and Shaan. She always said that Shaan was changing, she didn't want to talk about Khanak, she wanted to talk about Shaan and herself.
She made attempts to impress Shaan which failed, but she never disappointed him. She supported him and helped him unconditionally.
When she got an inkling that he had developed feelings for Khanak 😳, she like a true/best friend, suggested he express his love to Khanak and opted out of his life.
Suraj
This cute, mature, lovable person, who happily carried his all family member's kharcha with ease. He never complained or expressed his feelings verbally. He loved Khanak from the bottom of his heart, but his life was cut short by fate. Khanak learnt patience and love from him.
Mr Agarwal
He is a mastermind, business man like Khandelwals. He loves his daughters Tashu & Khushboo and can go to any extent for their happiness. We hated him, but he is the one who brought ShaNak together .
Rahul
The friends track, Rahul-Jenny-Sam track, was sometimes confusing, funny and sometimes very serious moments. Rahul wronged Shaan and Khanak, but he eventually realised his mistake and paid for it. What he had done was due to his misunderstanding. But he stands on his own and will never be dependent on others.
Samaira
This punjabi loud cheerful kudi is the only chori in the in Shaan close friend circle, aside from Natasha. Her fights with Khanak are the hilarious and funny. 😆 She is sensible , but had lost her faith in love. Khanak made her to believe in love Later she became a good friend to Khanak.
Dakshish
Ducks falls in love, everytime he sees a new girl, but he is not fraud. He is content with his life, no matter what his situation is. He owns a cafe 'Duck & Drum', loves his food. He becomes a Bhaa to Khanak, since they are both Gujarati. 😊
Mangal-Hetal
Dhulwadi couple, villains in our story and the most irritating people for Shaan. Their taunts towards Khanak made Shaan realise the true value of his wife, Khanak.
PSP-Sasha
This 'American' couple are funny. Well just like our ShaNak, they are also opposites, in every aspects. She is modern and he is desi. They make the phrase true 'opposite attracts' true. Sasha did give the lecture about 'Magic & Spice in marriage', but later on she realised that she could learn a lot from them. 😆
Gangubai-Aadi-Simran-Khushi-Pappi
The adopted family for ShaNak, after leaving the K-mansion. The love-square created a misunderstanding. ShaNak had to meet each other in secret. Some of the cutest ShaNak moments happened in GB's-house. Everyone become great friends later on.
Hari Bhaa-Dharam Bhaa
Greeny-Red and Dharam Bha. Hilarious people with great timing, always coming between our Love-Birds, as Kabab-mein-haddis.
But Dharam Bhaa helped Sunil to take ShaNak away on a business trip, when things were tense between them. This gave Khanak time to win Shaan's friendship back. 😃
Twins
They had the shortest screen space in RBO. We dont even know their names, but they were the ones responsible for ShaNak last and one of their most endearing hugs. It was Shaan's birthday and we got the news that Khanak was pregnant. The last Picture-Perfect-Kodak moment, was when ShaNak held their little ones in their arms. Rang Badalti Odhani ended with the background music playing...
