It's Us

CHARACTERS

MAIN LEADS:

Vikram Vardhan (29): 

As the CEO of Vardhan Group, Vikram is poised, disciplined, and has a commanding presence. He carries the weight of his family's legacy on his shoulders, balancing modern business acumen with traditional values. Known for being a perfectionist, he tends to keep his emotions guarded, but underneath the stern exterior is someone who deeply cares for those close to him. His loyalty to his family is unwavering, and he's often seen as a father figure to Viraj, his brother despite being only a few years older. Vikram has a quiet intensity that makes him captivating, but he's slow to let his guard down. He's a man of few words, and when he does speak, it's impactful.

Chandrika Reddy (25): 

Chandrika is a multifaceted woman—both a successful model and classical dancer, as well as the owner of a flourishing handicrafts company. She exudes grace, both in her art and in her personal life. Coming from a culturally rich background, she combines tradition with modernity effortlessly. Chandrika is independent, driven, and has a calming influence on those around her. She's known the Vardhan brothers since college, where she admired Vikram's quiet strength and Viraj's vibrant energy. Though she maintains a professional relationship with them, there's always been an unspoken connection with Vikram, one that she isn't sure how to navigate.

SECONDARY LEADS: 

Viraj Vardhan (26): 

The CFO of the Vardhan Group, Viraj is charismatic, easygoing, and the life of any gathering. He has a natural charm that contrasts with his older brother's reserved demeanor. He's more open with his emotions, with a playfulness that masks deeper insecurities. Viraj enjoys teasing Vikram about his stoicism but looks up to him and seeks his approval in subtle ways. His flirtatious nature hides his deep affection for Hasya, though he's been oblivious to her crush on him for years.

Hasya Das (24): 

Hasya is vivacious, bold, and unapologetically herself. A fashion designer with a quirky sense of style, she's always been Chandrika's partner in crime, sharing secrets and dreams since they were kids. Hasya's energy is infectious, and she isn't afraid to speak her mind, though she's kept one secret close to her heart: her five-year-long crush on Viraj. Despite her outward confidence, she's unsure how to approach Viraj romantically, given their friendship and her fear of rejection. Hasya is spontaneous, quick-witted, and fiercely protective of those she loves.

(NOTE: The secondary leads do play an important role to develop the dynamics between the main leads, and somewhere they might have more elaborate moments than the former two. But this book is entirely based on Vikram and Chandrika, and is a standalone, not a part of a series - maybe. But as of now there is no separate book planned for Viraj and Hasya)
