Pranati Rao

At twenty-three, Pranati is the kind of woman who doesn’t walk into a room to be noticed—but somehow, she always is. With her waist-length straight black hair and eyes that hold entire monsoons, she’s a blend of serenity and silent strength. Raised in a close-knit Telugu family, she grew up shielded, adored, and often overlooked emotionally. Beneath her gentle demeanor is a girl who once clung to a childhood crush on her cousin Shravan, convincing herself that love was supposed to feel like butterflies in the belly.

Siddharth Reddy

Siddharth is not the kind of man you fall for immediately. He’s the kind that sneaks into your heart, quietly and deeply. At thirty, he has built a life of quiet control—managing a successful hotel in Dubai, bearing the weight of being the eldest son, and never letting emotions get the better of him.

Shravan Reddy

Shravan has always been the boy who made everyone smile. With a mischievous glint in his eye and an easy laugh, he charmed hearts without even trying. Growing up, he was the center of attention—especially Pranati’s. Her seventh-grade crush on him was innocent and persistent.

Sakshi Arora

Sakshi is Pranati’s firebrand of a best friend—the kind of woman who’d argue with the gods if they dared make her girl cry. A successful advocate with a no-nonsense attitude, she’s been Pranati’s shield since childhood. Taller and louder, Sakshi has always been the voice when Pranati stayed silent. She never liked Shravan, never trusted his charm, and when Pranati confessed her heartbreak, Sakshi was the one who reminded her that she deserved better.
