Surekha Sikri
Role:Maasa (Dadisa)
She is Jagdish's Dadi (grandmother) and is the elder of the family. She rules the household with an iron hand. No one dares to go against her wishes in the family. She mostly comes across as a heartless woman who is very selfish when it comes to her sons especially the elder one. But somewhere deep inside the rigid, cold, cruel exterior lies a heart that may be melted if tried hard enough (so far achieved only by Anandi). She is bound to traditions and often overlooks the human aspect of any situation in order to uphold the pride of her family. She represents everything that is of yester-years in this show. It is the mind-set of people like Dadisa that this show is trying to change.
