Sheshu's wife, an intelligent and perceptive woman who married him believing in the promise of partnership and love. A schoolteacher with modern sensibilities, she's caught between respecting tradition and recognizing that something fundamental is missing from her marriage. She notices Sheshu's distance, his inability to connect with her intimately, and the way his eyes seem to look past her rather than at her. Despite her growing suspicions and hurt, she genuinely cares for Sheshu and struggles with her own guilt—wondering if she's somehow failing as a wife. As the truth becomes harder to ignore, she faces an impossible choice: hold onto a marriage that exists only on paper, or release them both from a bond that's destroying them. Her journey is one of painful acceptance and unexpected compassion, as she grapples with her own lost dreams while trying to understand Sheshu's hidden truth.

More rebellious than Sheshu but equally trapped, Ranjith has always felt like an outsider in his own family. As a graphic designer with an artistic soul, he's constantly at odds with his businessman father's expectations. He delayed his arranged marriage for years, but family pressure finally wore him down. Unlike Sheshu, Ranjith has always known he was gay, but in his conservative community, that knowledge felt like a curse. He carries himself with a confident exterior that masks deep loneliness and resentment toward the life he's been forced into. When he meets Sheshu, he recognizes a kindred spirit—someone else drowning in the same expectations. Ranjith is passionate, occasionally reckless, and more willing to risk everything for authenticity, which both attracts and terrifies Sheshu. Their connection gives him hope that maybe, just maybe, there's a way to break free.

A sensitive and thoughtful young man who's always been the dutiful son, Sheshu has spent his life meeting every expectation his traditional family placed upon him. Soft-spoken but deeply emotional, he's an accountant who finds solace in numbers because they make sense in ways his own life doesn't. When his family arranged his marriage to Priya, he went through with it despite the growing realization of his true identity. He's terrified of disappointing his parents and bringing shame to his family, yet he can't deny the powerful feelings that awaken when Ranjith enters his life. His internal conflict between familial duty and personal happiness creates a constant state of anxiety, making him withdrawn and melancholic. Despite his fear, there's a quiet strength in him—a growing desire to finally live for himself.
