Story

Parvin Dabas: Rajbir
Rajbir is an orphan and belongs to Kanjhawla village and is 31 years old. He's friends with Ambani, Sexy and Doctor and works under Fauji along with them. He's the de-facto leader of the group and the other guys look up to him.Rajbir has been working for Fauji since he was 17. He's the most introspective of the gang and gets along with Doctor the most.

Kuldeep Ruhil: Doctor
Doctor's real name is Devendra. He got his nickname because he owns a medical store which he runs when he's not with the guys and keeps giving the guys medicine for all their ailments. He was born and brought up in Kanjhawla, outer Delhi. He gave up on his education after the 12th class because he had to support his family. His father is a bus conductor and an alcoholic who's money goes into his booze. His mother is a housewife and works in the fields as well. He got married when he was 22 with a girl who he saw in a rival gang guy's village. He has two sons aged 7 and 5. He's a very protective father and a relatively good husband who tries to be with his family as much as possible in the eve rather than hang out with the guys. He's 30 years old.

Doctor has always seemed like a calm, sober guy but that cool front has always hidden a different interior. Doctor doesn't suffer fools gladly and gets easily tired of them though he never shows it in his temper but only in his actions. He's also not a trained chemist but just happened to open the shop to make some money and learnt on the job.

Once his cousin's wife got used to leaving their kids with him at the medical store when he needed to go to the fields. After a week of dealing with them he finally gave them some sleeping pills to shut them up, and wouldn't tell his cousin the truth until finally the kids had to be taken to the hospital.

But at home he's like 80% of the husband's on the planet-a Bheegi Billi. He tries to keep his wife happy at all times and makes sure he's home on time in the evening to have dinner with them and the couple of times he doesn't, he gets the silent treatment from his wife for a couple of days so now he dreads going home late.

Neha's father was in the army and retired as a brigadier and then opened his own security agency. She always had an excellent relationship with him and even when she started going out with guys he decided to keep silent rather than express his opinion either way as he trusted the way he had brought her up. Neha's mother is a much sought after interior designer but never let her work overpower her family life.

Neha completed her graduation in B.SC (Hons) and then wanderlust took over. She took a year off to travel to South East Asia where she covered Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia and Malaysia. She also got into photography during this time and pursued it as a passionate hobby. Once she got back home she decided to get out of the protective environment of her own home and moved to Delhi where she stayed with a college friend for 6months before getting her own pad. She works as a gallery manager at an art gallery which allowed her to be close to art and exhibitions. But she continues to pursue her dream of becoming a photographer.
