Better Half
Introduction
Sens and Guptas houses are right opposite to each other, face to face
Their chaos brings life to their society
Sometimes you may have to put your earplugs on if you live here
But yeah, these Sen's and Gupta's do "hate" each other so much, sounds like Montagues and the Capulets right?
Anushua Gupta FL
This is Anushua aka Annu, no she's not a nerd, not all girls who wear glasses are nerds. But she does bring some good marks in every exam, more like she has to bring more than someone.
Ritvik Sen ML
And that someone is Ritvik aka Vicky, no he's not a popular guy, don't judge a book by its cover, but yeah he did receive 7 proposals from various girls since puberty, does that make him popular?
Rukmini (ML's mom)
Now that we've met Ritvik, let's meet his mother Mrs Rukmini Sen, she owns a beckery shop called "Sweet Bites" right next to someone else's. She's a modern lady, a strong independent woman, sounds scary?
Kavita (FL's mom)
Do you know who is scarier? That someone else. Meet Shrimati Kavita Gupta, the owner of "Gupta Mishti Bhandar". She's a very family oriented person but yeah her whole family is scared of her for some reason. She can scold anyone and everyone
Ashish (FL's father)
Ashish Gupta owns another small business and also invests in his wife's business. He's a sweet and calm person, who doesn't wanna be the part of the "Chaos", he's a... white flag
Vikram (ML's father)
Vikram Sen, our Ritvik's father, is in an officer post in Government job. He earns enough to feed his whole family and more, likes to spoil his wife. So he's a... green flag
Atul (FL's brother)
This is Atul, Annu's elder brother. He also hates the Sens from childhood, but he doesn't know why, doesn't make any sense right? He also does job that pays pretty well, another thing that is good about him is his wife
Charu (FL's sister in law)
Charulata aka Charu is Atul's wife and a perfect bride and also a more than perfect sister in law, we will get to know more about her gradually
Now that we've known all of our main characters let's dive into their story
Stay tuned to see who are "better"
The Sens or the Guptas? 👀
