The Karkhanis Family

Vaman Karkhanis & Ashlesha Karkhanis

The dignified heads of the Karkhanis family — loving, caring, and deeply protective, yet firm when needed. Their values and warmth form the foundation on which the entire family stands.

Ajay Karkhanis & Sharmila Nimbalkar-Karkhanis

A wonderful couple built on mutual affection, deep understanding, and unwavering respect. They are exceptional parents to all their children, though a soft corner undeniably exists for Ishani — his Ishu and her Betu.
For Virat, they are Paapa and Maa — with Ajay proudly calling him his “champ.”

Ajinkya Karkhanis & Uma Pednekar-Karkhanis

Ajinkya, the gentle and dependable younger brother of Ajay, is a calm pillar of support in the family. Uma mirrors his kindness — caring, affectionate, and always standing by her vahini.
Both treat Ishani and their nieces as their own children, loving them wholeheartedly and being present in every joy, challenge, and milestone.

The Younger Generation

Ishani Karkhanis (24)

The eldest daughter of the generation — mature, responsible, and fiercely loving. She is calm, considerate, and warm-hearted, but crossing her is never wise. If someone messes with her, she will handle it first… and then her Vee will step in, making it even worse.
Adored and admired by the entire family, she recently joined K&K Textile Industries as a Marketing Executive.

Divya Karkhanis

The youngest daughter of Ajay and Sharmila. She loves her di immensely.
As a child she was adorably jealous of Virat bhai for “stealing” her sister, but as she grew, her jealousy turned into admiration — now she loves teasing both of them equally.

Raavi Karkhanis

The elder daughter of Ajinkya and Uma. A final-year undergraduate student, Raavi looks up to Ishani as her role model. She dreams of working with her di one day and shares a beautiful sisterly bond filled with respect, affection, and guidance.

Rhudnya Karkhanis

The youngest daughter of Ajinkya and Uma — sweet, loving, and attached to all her sisters. Ishani is her icon, someone she deeply admires and tries to emulate.
She’s also Maahi’s best friend, and together they form the cutest duo of the generation.

Extended Family

Aishwarya Karkhanis–Rajadhyaksha

The sister between Ajay and Ajinkya — warm, loving, and deeply caring towards her nieces.
Her son Adwait, a few months younger than Ishani, is close to Virat and loves his sisters dearly. A trustworthy friend and a responsible young man.

Ashwini Karkhanis–Bhave

The youngest sibling of Ajay. A bubbly, loving aunt to all her nieces and nephews.
Her elder son Krish (the same age as Rhudnya) and Kriya (a late teenager) bring youthful energy and mischief into the family, filling the home with laughter
