Vikram’s house is a cozy duplex villa. On the ground floor we have the kitchen, master bedroom, a study room and a guest room. After Prithvi turned 12, he used the study room as his bedroom and was still using it.
On the first floor, they have three rooms. One bedroom which is similar to the master bedroom on the ground floor. This bedroom belongs to Lalitha and Arun. The other one is Dharani and Maya ‘s bedroom. The next one is the guests room.

When she was walking past the room, she happened to see Prithvi dressed in Dhoti and shirt. She chuckled seeing him and said,
Maya:
