Waaris-Scene II

Scene II

Vikrant had a very large family in which included two sons, Sansay and Risabh, one daughter, Trisha and all living in one roof. Vikrant was born in small place of Madhya Pradesh and his father was a simple govt. Clerk and from there he rose. When he came to Mumbai 45 years with just 100 Rs. Newly married to Rajshree, whom he just married so that he could come out from that place. From there started his struggle with his wife, though he and Rajshree always respected and cared for each other but never loved each other. He always saw the organisation of marriage as contract so he married his sons for money even his daughter for social status.

His elder son had 3 daughters married at the age of 19 as he believed that it was ideal to marry but he kept them till they studied so his every granddaughter are masters. The daughter never had children as his son-in-law died early as his daughter never remarried. But she had adopted a son, Jay Rajrana Kashyap, who was also accepted by Trisha’s in laws but Vikrant wanted to keep them with him. The youngest son had 2 children, the elder was Samar and younger was daughter, Nishtha. Nishtha was married Rahil, who was in derby business. Nishta was in Stephens College as Fine Arts Graduate student.

With Vikrant lived his younger brother, Viswas who never married and followed him as shadow. The business was basically now looked after by Jay and Samar but Vikrant still had total control with Viswas helping him but everybody knew that Jay’s major attraction was car racings business like his father’s family and so he was with his father’s family most of the time.  

Rajshree who was always there never supported Vikrant in his ruthless decisions and so she was most of the time busy with her social work and she use to say to Trisha“ I know may be my philosophy is wrong but whatever I do, I do it for my own happiness and nothing else. He may have become top businessman with hot-shot newspaper but I’m still the same Rajshree. I don’t do this for your father’s peace and happiness but I do it for myself and my seeking of inner self.”

Whereas Dwijita always carved for the family love as his father was the only child so was she, and her grand parents died in an accident after that her mother renounced the world when she was 3, and now who was there was Sadhwi Deepa. With Bikash being single parent it was very tough for him to maintain both the fronts. So she always in home alone as Bikash wanted to keep her close to him. She did her Honours from Stephens College in Journalism.
