Hosting party
Rama Kacholia
Kartik's Mom
A truly zen soul, Rama is the main reason Kartik turned out well. She raised her children with kindness and strong values, teaching them to lead their lives with empathy and integrity. From her peaceful wisdom to her creative flair, she’s always nurturing. Whether she’s cooking, painting, or diving into an arts-and-crafts session, she brings warmth and love to everything she touches.
Sudhir & Kiran Bhalla
Manasi's Dad & Mom
Sudhir and Kiran live in Delhi. They met at the wedding of their older siblings, fell in love Bollywood-style, and have been setting impossibly high romantic standards since the 1980s. You’ll usually find them surrounded by family and friends (who quickly become family), but don’t be shy — they’ll cherish every hello. Sudhir is a businessman, an engineer, an awesome dad, and above all, an entertainer. He’s the life of the party, the one making sure everyone’s having fun — and yes, he will break into song the moment you ask. Kiran managed the family business with style and strength, and she brings the same energy everywhere she goes. She’ll shower you with love and make sure you eat and dance — and trust us, she does not take no for an answer.
Nishtha, Yatin & Yuvaan
Kartik's sister, brother-in-law, and nephew
Nishtha and Yatin live in Mumbai. They’re both lawyers who met (and fell in love) during law school. They’re formidable debaters, fun-loving, and wonderfully reliable. They’ve been Kartik’s biggest supporters — showing up for him every single time it counted. You’ll probably spot them running important parts of the wedding while still finding time to enjoy it. And then there’s Yuvaan, the most delightful and extroverted kid you’ll ever meet. Say hi, strike up a conversation, and watch him light up the dance floor with moves that will put everyone else to shame.
Meenal Bhalla
Manasi's Sis
Meenal is a Chartered Accountant based in Bangalore and the ultimate social butterfly. She has 100 “close” friends and another 300 who count as “just friends”. Everyone who meets her instantly loves her. She may be the baby of the family, but she’s stood tall whenever it mattered most. Chirpy, bubbly, endlessly curious, and strong enough to lift you if she felt like it, she’s always the life of the crowd. At the wedding, she’ll be your most reliable source for whatever you’re hunting for — snacks, gossip, or the goodies.
