TARA: Ek ADHOORI DHUN
Introduction
Note:photos and other all things I'm using will belong to its original owners only plus do not copy 🛑
Akash Malhotra/ML
Name:Akash Malhotra
Age:27
personally:precise, controlled, and every move is part of a carefully timed plan of revenge against the family that ruined his past.
profession:CEO of his own company Aetheris Global , earns in different currencies plus handles Malhotra company alongside
Dev Malhotra/ML'S Father
Name:Dev Malhotra
Age:54
personality:steel under a tailored suit. Once a rising industrialist, he built the Malhotra name with ruthless deals and a stubborn belief in legacy. He speaks little, commands much, and his past decisions are the fault lines Akash is exploiting.
Neelam Dev Malhotra/ML'S mother
Name:Neelam Dev Malhotra
Age:52
personality:Warm in public, quietly proud. Remembers every family birthday, and keeps the house’s old traditions alive. Beneath the smiles she hides a careful diplomacy that protected the family’s reputation for decades.
Tara Sharma/FL
Small, deliberate movements, bow and breath in quiet harmony
hobby:love playing paino
She learned the violin the way others learn to breathe: early, constant, with a stubborn patience. On stage she disappears into the music; offstage she keeps to herself, fingers always ink-stained or callused from practice. The violin is her language — when words fail, the notes say everything
Rajesh Sharma/FL'S Father
Name:Rajesh Sharma
Age:51
personality:cold,over protective of his daughter,moves in comfortable certainty: charity dinners, boardroom calm, and a taste for fine cigars. He expects decorum and success from his daughter, and his influence is the kind that buys favors and opens doors — enough to make the Malhotras uneasy, but not enough to topple Akash. runs Sharma Exports, a profitable, polished company that out-earns the Malhotras but can’t match Aetheris’s global empire.
Meera Rajesh Sharma/FL'S Mother
Name:Meera Rajesh Sharma
Age:49
personality:warm, steady, and quietly proud.
Harish Malhotra/ML'S grandfather
Name:Harish Malhotra
Age:79
Gayatri Malhotra/ML'S grandma
Gayatri Harish Malhotra
Age:76
Gayatri Wields social grace like armor; she arranges meetings, knows who matters, and expects proper manners at the table. Harish was once a self-made engineer who prized discipline and precision; now he’s quieter, watching the world with a measured skepticism. Their approval shaped Dev Malhotra’s choices and, by extension, Akash’s upbringing — an old-world standard that prizes legacy over softness.
Om Sharma/FL'S grandfather
Name:Om Sharma
Age:76
Savitri Om Sharma/FL'S grandma
Name:Savitri Om Sharma
Age:73
savitri knits, chants, and remembers every family story down to the wrong details; she’s warmth incarnate. Om keeps a daily newspaper open and a list of neighborhood names in his head; he’s the family historian who corrects dates and offers stern, lovable advice. Together they’re Tara’s steady home base — full of smells, stories, and always an extra chair at the table.
Kunal Malhotra/ML'S cousin
Name:Kunal Malhotra
Age:22
Oldest of the cousins; "cheeky and bold" usually works well for someone just entering adulthood
has a younger sibling:Rhea Malhotra
Rhea Malhotra/ML'S cousin
Name:Rhea Malhotra
Age:20
"Sharp-tongued" energy fits a college student finding her voice.
has a elder sibling:kunal Malhotra
Aarav Malhotra/ML'S cousin
Name:Aarav Malhotra
Age:19
"Calm and observant"; often the mature teenager in the group.

after a few minutes......
everyone got back to their usual routines and all..
And akash went to his office
He didn’t stay at the table long. He moved to his office, shut the door, and buried himself in files, emails, and contracts.
Kabir Mehra/ML'S Assistant
*Carefully* Sir, the meeting notes from yesterday are on your desk.
Akash Malhotra/ML
*Without looking up* Leave them
Kabir left. Akash kept reading, but his mind was elsewhere
They’re bringing the Sharma's back into this house
After everything that happened
They think names can be buried. They can’t.
His hand stopped on the page for half a second

Tara Sharma/FL
*Slightly amused*I can be soft and still be honest
Rajesh Sharma/FL'S Father
That honesty should wait until tomorrow 🤷🏻♂️
Tara gave a tiny nod and picked up her violin
She played a slow, quiet piece. The room felt almost suspended in time
They’re acting like today changes everything
I Just don’t know how yet
Her fingers paused over the strings
Meera Rajesh Sharma/FL'S Mother
*Softly from the doorway* You don’t have to carry the atmosphere with you.
Tara Sharma/FL
*Quietly* It’s already here.”
Suits, flowers, servers, the quiet rush before guests. Akash came back only when he had to
