Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi

 

Mihir (Mansukh)Virani -- Amar Upadhyay, Inder Kumar, Ronit Roy

   
 
The eldest grandson of the family, Mihir is Savita and Mansukh's elder son. This MBA is the apple of Savita's eye - and the bone of contention between Savita and Tulsi. Mihir is an honest, down-to-earth, hardworking individual who believes in sweating it out and building from scratch. His emotional anchor is Tulsi, the woman he married, despite parental disapproval
   
 

Tulsi (Mihir)Virani -- Smriti Zubin Irani, Gautami Kapoor

   
 
Born to a poor pujari and married into a rich household, Tulsi is the clever, intelligent and sensitive bahu stuck with the scheming Savita for a mother-in-law. Tulsi's dad was in charge of the Virani ancestral temple, and she has been a regular at the Virani home even before her marriage to Mihir. She's the agony aunt everyone runs to, the epitome of the perfect bahu and a model wife. Tulsi's cause is championing the underdog.
   
 


Kiran (Mansukh)Virani -- Jiten Lalwani

   
 
Kiran is the second son of Mansukh and Savita. He returns from his study abroad to help Mihir shoulder the responsibility of the family business. Kiran has the videshi charm, which his more earthy brother, Mihir, lacks.
   
 


Aarti Patel(Kiran)Virani -- Eva Grover, Rushali


   
 
Aarti, her mother-in-law Savita used to claim, is everything Tulsi is not. Married to the younger of Savita and Mansukh's sons, Aarti is educated and comes from a rich family. Aarti deals with everyone on a level footing - while she is open to the idea of fitting into the Virani family, she is also not one to take nonsense lying down. Unfortunately for Savita, Aarti's "difference" from Tulsi starts working against her.
   
 

Hemant (Jamnadas)Virani -- Shakti Anand

   
 
Hemant is the soft-spoken, shy son of JD and Gayatri. In contrast to his sister Sejal, Hemant is a man with his shoulders firmly on his head. He has a role model in Mihir and hopes to help carry on the family business.
   
 


Pooja (Hemant)Virani -- Prachi Shah

   
 
Pooja is Hemant's one-time girlfriend. When his sister becomes pregnant, to uphold the family honour of the Viranis, Pooja gets married to her boss - a man who holds the keys to Hemant's sister's happiness. Somewhere down the line, she falls in love with Rajeev - the man she was blackmailed into marrying. Their wedded bliss is, however, short-lived. Rajeev dies of bone cancer and Pooja is left all alone. She and Hemant then get married.
   
 

Suhasi Virani -- Pooja Ghai Rawal

   
 
Suhasi is Chirag's sister and the older child of Daksha and Himmat. She is a soft-spoken woman who lives in a world of her own and is sensitive to others' needs. One would almost expect her to get married to the man her parents choose, to bear his children and settle down to domestic bliss. But is she really a wallflower? Only time will tell.
   
 


Rakesh -- Prashant Bhatt

   
 

 

   
 


Chirag (Himmat)Virani -- Hussain Kuwajerwala, Amit Mistry

   
 
The son of Himmat and Daksha, Chirag starts life as a sensitive and emotional person. He is scared of failure, and of the challenges that life throws up. Chirag is caught in a vicious cycle - his fear of failure robs him of his confidence and thus makes it inevitable to fall short each time. He is constantly reprimanded by his father, and pampered by his mother.
   
 

Prajakta Deshmukh(Chirag)Virani -- Tuhinaa Vohra

   
 
Prajakta is Chirag's wife. She and Chirag marry each other despite stiff opposition from Dakhsa. Prajakta is a genial, sensitive soul who makes up her mind to make Daksha accept her. She's funny, impulsive and also a perfect foil for Chirag.
   
 

Sejal (Jamnadas)Virani(Anand)Gandhi -- Khyati Khandke

   
 
Sejal Virani is the quintessential rich brat. Spoilt and pampered, Sejal knows no want - she only has to ask for something and she gets it. The youngest of the Virani clan, Sejal is smart, "with it", and is interested in dramatics.
   
 


Anand Gandhi -- Romanchak Arora

   
       
 

Mandira Kapadia(Kiran)Virani(Aditya)Gujral -- Mandira Bedi, Achint Kaur

   
 
An efficient and confident doctor, Mandira treats Mihir when he loses his memory and nurses him back to life. She also helps him deal with his amnesia and builds his confidence in life. In this process, she falls in love with him, and refuses to accept that he is married to Tulsi. Her devotion to Mihir often verges on the insane. She disappears from the life of the Viranis after her claim that she is pregnant with Mihir's child is shown to be fake.
