4. Gauri(portrayed by Nilam Panchal)
Played by Nilam Panchal, Gauri is Saru’s mother. A few flashbacks show that she has had some terrible experiences in the past and hence fears for Saru’s life. That’s also one of the biggest reasons she doesn’t want Saru to go to Mumbai. Saru calls her Mairi and its the cutest thing ever.
5. Saru’s Nana(portrayed by Ramakant Daayama)
Saru’s Nana, or her beloved “Old Man” as she calls him, is one of the biggest supports in her life. Despite his daughter’s fear of the past. This old man supports his granddaughter in her journey. In fact, he helps her run away from the house to pursue her dreams.
